DIY Make-Up Zipper Pouch

  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.

Paisley Cutout Mini Dress

Hello everyone, So happy I finished my late #magamsewalong "Sew New Season" June dress, it supposed to finish last month but I couldn't because distracted with other urgent garments, holiday and other things. Besides, this dress was little bit complicated to work with, so I prefer to finish it slowly. This dress has a special detail at the neckline yoke, straight-line cut, front darts, raglan sleeves and inseam pockets. I had a big crush on this pattern as soon as I saw the magazine, the neckline detail is so pretty and the rest of the dress is so simple and airy. Perfect to wear in hot summer day šŸ˜

DIY Necktie

Hello! As promised in the previous post, here is "diy necktie" that I made especially for DH. The idea came up last year when I bought the fabric, DH said could be great if I bought more fabric enough for my dress and matching tie for him. So, I bought three yards instead of two. For the pattern, I used his old tie for a base and follow the tutorial from  purl soho  - thanks Molly for the clear tutorial šŸ˜Š
