DIY Make-Up Zipper Pouch

Unlined Jacket

I finally finished my light jacket after almost a month working on it. This jacket supposed to be my entry to  #sewyourwardrobebasics  a sewing challenge on Instagram last month but I couldn't make it on time due to lack of sewing time and bad planning. Anyway, better late than never and I'm glad to have this type of jacket in my wardrobe šŸ˜Š Jacket pattern: Budastyle unlined jacket 07/2008 size 38, I made full arm adjustment, skip the belt loops, finished the seam and hem allowances with Hongkong seams method and sewed the buttons and buttonholes. For the fabric, I used a cotton blend from stash, bought two years ago during our trip to Tokyo and I made the bias tape from my dress that I don't wear anymore. For the buttons, I reused my husband's suit buttons and glad they were matched.
