  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.

Square Neck Dress

By -
Happy Friday friends, I finally finished my square neck dress and I like it. This dress was supposed to finish last month for my entry to #sewrecreatethelook challenge on Instagram but was delayed because of other things in life. Anyway, I decided to continue sewing my dress and hope to wear it soon. Also, I still have one more project from last month to finish (a bag pack), I will continue making it and then I will make the August plan.

The #sewrecreatethelook was a fun challenge on Instagram last month hosted by @jenlegg_teescreatives and @sosewdressmaking. My plan was to make a square neck dress, inspired by a dress that I found on Pinterest. I copied the neck design and sleeves but changed the circle skirt into a little flared knee-length skirt. My fabric choice was a cotton voile in tiny flower prints and lightweight white cotton for the lining. Both fabrics were from the local shop. 

The sewing process started with making the pattern, I used my basic dress sloper pattern and made the square neck, fluted sleeves and flared skirt. After I drafted the pattern pieces, I made a bodice muslin and adjusted the fit at the waistline. My muslin is shown in the picture below on the right side.
And then, I cut my fabric and the lining. 

I sewed the main fabric pieces and lining pieces separately. As shown below,

I sewed the body's main fabric and the lining pieces right sides together and clipped the square neck and curved area. Turned the pieces inside out and press them with the iron.
After that, I attached the skirt pieces to the bodices.
And then sewed the invisible zipper at the back dress.

I sewed the sleeves to the armholes, followed by sewing the sides of the dress. The last part was sewing the hemlines. I sewed the sleeve and hemline with the narrow rolled hem method.


It was fun to sew this dress and it will be a great addition to my summer wardrobe. I'm thinking to make another square neck dress but with a shift dress style. 
That's it for today, I hope to show you my backpack next week. Happy sewing āœ‚āœ‚

    Hana, I just love this dress on you! It looks so much like the inspiration, but tweaked to fit you personally.
