  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.

Pink Tana Lawn Dress

By -
I made this dress in May but I didn't like the look of the final dress on me. The dress based on Burdastyle plumetis dress 04/2019-120 and fabric was Liberty cotton tana lawn in crushed pink, I bought this during our trip to London.
Firstly, I omitted the stand collar and made a v-neck by folded the neckline to the outer side and hand sewed both lines. The dress has ruffles sleeve and hem, I decided to shorten the length of the ruffle hem until my knee.
But I wasn't happy with the look of the ruffle sleeves on me and as I don't have too much time to sew I just put this dress back inside my closet. And only in October I pick it out and removed the ruffle sleeves, sewed and wore it. Well, as you saw in the picture above, the dress looks much better without ruffle sleeves.




After I removed the ruffle sleeves, I worked on the neckline. I cut the round neckline and made it v-neck. And then, pinned and sewed the bias binding around. I was happy with the clean look of the v-neck and I think it looks much better on me.

I kept the belt and added bell-loops on both sides of the waistline.

The dress can be worn with or without a belt, but I prefer to wear it with a belt.

After all, I'm glad that I managed to re-style this dress and wore it. I was thinking to make the second version without ruffle hem and longer length.

That's it for today everyone, Happy Sewing šŸ’—
