  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. After that, I sewed the zipper at the main fabric (both sides). I attached and sewed the lining to the main fabric, right sides together. And then, topstitched both sides of the zipper. And cut the excess zipper.  I sewed the tags and inserted them in both sides of the end of the zipper and sewed along the lines. I sewed the bias tape bands on both sides. And cut the corners in square shape 4 cm x 4 cm (not including seam allowance). I connected the squares together and sewed them. I sewed the bias ta...

Hand Knit Bobble Hat

By -

Hi,
I have been very enthusiastic with knitting lately and so glad I managed to finish my first bobble hat right on time when the weather is getting cold :)
I found a free pattern and tutorial from Mollie Makes - Bobble Hat and it was easy to follow. The original hat is lovely, it comes with smaller width 2x2 ribbing and continue with stockinette stitch.
As I am learning new stitches and eager to try, I added different type of stitches for the body that I found in Creative Knitting magazine autumn 2015.

Materials:
  • I used 150 yards of  Zarone - Filatura Di Crosa Italia - pure wool blend in shade 37. 
  • Circular needle 7 mm - 40 cm
  • Tapestry needle
  • Scissor

Knitting process started from cast on 56 sts and join the round, continue with 2x2 ribbing, k2-p2 until the stitches measure 2.5".
After that, I did stockinette stitches 5 rounds, then added k1,p1 in one round and p1,k1 in another round. 
Back again to stockinette stitches 5 rounds and follow the same manner until the hat measure 9" from the beginning.
Then shape the crown until my hat measure 10" from the beginning, cast off, tighten the end and sew the pom-pom as Mollie did :)

That's it! Easy to make and I finished my hat in two days :)





Happy crafting and stay warm!

Hana
