DIY Make-Up Zipper Pouch

Image
  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.

V-neck Cotton Top

Hello dear readers,
I was checking my wardrobe and found out it lacked a simple top to wear daily. So, I decided to make one last month in a yellow batik fabric detail here on my IG (in case you are interested to see it).
Apparently, one top wasn't enough and I made another in floral cotton fabric last week. 
I wore the floral top yesterday for Sunday out with my family, I paired it with me-made denim pants. I love the top, comfortable and easy to wear. 

The floral cotton fabric was from my stash and I still have leftover to make another top.   

For the pattern, I used my self-drafted basic v-neck top. It has a side front dart, short sleeve and finished neckline with a neck facing with a back button closure. 

After I cut the fabric, I sewed the top according to the usual manner and it was easy and fast. I did the top in less than three hours.

Here are the results, front, side and back views.





That's it for today, thank you for stopping by ā¤
Happy sewing!

  2. I do so enjoy seeing your garments , and wanted to ask if you learnt your pattern cutting skills from a particular book or did you attend a course? It makes so much sense to make/design one's own patterns - they are so expensive these days!

    1. Thank you, Judy. I learnt pattern drafting from a book and also from Youtube which I think is the best because of the step by step with videos.
