  I made an easy make-up zipper pouch using leftover fabrics and was happy with the result. The final size was 26 cm x 12 cm. It's lovely, fluffy, useful and big enough to store all my makeup and skincare products.  Materials for the pouch: - Main fabric, lining and polyester batting, 40 cm x 50 cm. - Fabric tags (2x), 9 cm x 10 cm. - Bias tape band, 6 cm wide. - Zipper The sewing process started with topstitching (quilt style) the main fabric and polyester batting together.

DIY Boy Doll

By -
Hello everyone..
I made this doll for my younger son, Eduardo and the best thing is he loves it! :)
He was watching me sewing the doll and took the doll from my hand as soon as I finished. The funny thing is he named the doll Eduardo :)

Pattern:
Boy fabric doll from Make It And Love It. The pattern is free with easy step by step tutorial.

Materials:
White cotton, red knit cotton, gingham fabric, dark brown polyester felt, button, polyester stuffing and threads

The sewing process was really fun and relaxing. I cut the fabrics and sew according to the Ashley tutorial. And here is my doll in progress before I sew the pieces together and stuff it,

Well, after I made the boy doll, I feel like to make two more - boy and girl. So I can make a little family doll, mom-dad and Eduardo. Sounds good :)



The only different thing I made is the shoe laces, I made horizontal line shoe laces. The original is cross line shoe laces

This post is the continuation of my weekly update DIY Friday and also, I am linking this post to Caroline for Show Off Saturday

Happy Sewing!
