  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...

Boxy T-shirt

By -
Hi, I made a new boxy t-shirt based on Burdastyle pattern and I wore it last weekend. I love it, so cozy and perfect for hot weather. The fabric was a meter of remnant animal print that I found during our trip to Taipei last year.
The pattern suggested to use 1.35 meters of fabric but as I had 1 meter only, I made the sleeves shorter and also shorten the t-shirt length just below my waistline.

Pattern: Burdastyle Boxy T-shirt 04/2019 - 108 size 36, and I made a few modifications due to  limited of fabric

  • I shorten the length a little, just below my waistline. 
  • Made the sleeve smaller.
  • And added two darts on the backside because the final t-shirt was too big for my liking.

The sewing process was quick and easy, the neckline finished with neckband piece sewn along the neckline, I clipped the curve area, folded and pinned to the inner neckline. Then carefully sewed/top-stitched.

I folded and sewed the sleeve on the bodice and sewed the side of the t-shirt. The last part was sewing the hem 1.5 cm.


I tried the t-shirt and found out that the back was too big for my liking. So I sewed two darts 3 cm wide (each) and happy with the final look.


I love this new top and I wore it with rtw tank top in black underneath. I paired with my self-drafted skirt with big side pockets in denim fabric.
I made the skirt two years ago and I'm planning to make one more with little modification. I'd love to  skip the side pockets and make it in a longer length šŸ˜Š
We visited the local garden last weekend and so lovely to see the lotus flower blooming beautifully and decided to share some pictures with you.


Until next...
