DIY Make-Up Zipper Pouch

Hello everyone, I am back after my last post in 31 August with two new me-made shirt blouses that I made to participate  #magamsewalong  September with theme "Shirty September" hosted by lovely  @sarahlizsewstyle .

So, I will give you a link on my IG in case you want to see the dress  Open Back Butterick Dress .
