  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.

Pinafore Dress

By -
Hello, I finished my pinafore dress at the right time when the winter arrived. For the pattern, I modified my basic dress sloper block and I used a wool blend fabric and a silk satin in black for the lining.
I was planning to sew this dress for so long from the beginning of the year and I'm happy that I finally made it in December. 
Also, this dress in my late entry to #sewyourwardrobebasics challenge with the theme "wool" hosted by @seaofteal. 


The dress detail: knee length pinafore dress with a deep front v-neckline, a scoop back neckline, front side darts, back middle darts, invisible zipper at the center back and fully lined.

The sewing progress was fun and I finished in two days, I used mostly my sewing machine and hand sewing, also a lot of pinning and basting. 

The picture below shows my work in the shoulder area. I sewed the front and back shoulders with the lining right sides together and turned out, flipped the seam allowances inside and hand sewed the rest. I loved the clean result.
I also hand sewed the lining fabric to the invisible zipper only and the rest was with the machine.
Here are more pictures of the finished pinafore dress with a me-made red t-shirt (Simplicity pattern) on my dress form and on me. I love it and I look forward to wearing it in my daily life. 


Happy sewing and take care šŸ’“
