  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.

Floral Cotton Dress

By -

I made this dress last month and I wore it twice since the day I finished it, the picture above was taken before swimming and I wore this dress for lunch and dinner outside as well. I love everything about this dress, especially the fit. Not too tight or too loose and I can wear this on any occasion, I just need to change the shoes and accessories šŸ˜Š 

Dress description:
It has a v-neckline with three decorative buttons, short sleeves, knee-length, invisible zipper inserted at the center back, a little loose and flare style. Very comfortable to wear but stylish and girly at the same time.

Fabric and notion:
2 yards of cotton poplin from the local shop that I bought it recently. Sewing notion: invisible zipper, fusible interfacing, threads, buttons were from my stash.

Pattern: 
Self-drafted. I modified the basic dress sloper that I made in May, I changed the neckline into a v-neck, drafted the v-neck facing, used side front darts and made full arm adjustment on the sleeve.
Sewing process:
  • I cut the fabric and sewed the raw edges using my overlocker machine.
  • I fused fusible interfacing into the neck facing and along the center backs. Sewed the facings right sides together and pressed with an iron.
  • I sewed the darts and sewed the front and back shoulders right sides together. After that, I pinned and sewed the sleeves right sides together. Followed by sewing the dress sides right sides together, pressed with an iron.
  • I sewed the invisible zipper after that and sewed the rest of the backside. 
  • And then, I sewed the facing to the neckline right sides together, clipped the curve area and turned the facing inside, pressed with iron and top-stitched the facing by hand. 
  • I sewed the decorative buttons and I think they were very cute and added something to the dress.
  • The last part was sewed the hems and done šŸ˜
Here are more pictures of the dress in my dress form and one more picture of me wearing it.





That's it for today, I will be sharing two more self-drafted dress soon. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy wearing this dress.

Happy sewing and stay safe my friends šŸ’—
