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. And cut the corners in square shape 4 cm x 4 cm (not including seam allowance). I connected the squares together and sewed them. I sewed the bias ta...

Crochet Swimsuit Cover-up Dress


Hi there, I hope you are well.
I finally finished my crochet swimsuit cover-up dress that I started at the beginning of February. I enjoyed the slow process and was happy with how it turned out.
I used 9 skeins of off-white cotton yarn and a 3 mm crochet hook.
For the pattern, I followed a YouTube tutorial from Crochettoz. It's a clear and easy tutorial to follow, thank you so much šŸ˜

Also, I shared my process of making this cover-up on my YouTube channel, click the video below if you want to see it. And please, subscribe to my channel if you like the video and want to see more in the future šŸ˜ŠšŸ˜

I took a few photos of the progress and the picture below shows the start of the cover-up dress. I did chain stitch until I reached 60'' and followed with double crochet stitch and then crocheted the patterns.


I mostly crochet at night when I finish all the house chores and sometimes in the afternoon when I'm sitting on the sofa. 
The cover-up needs two pieces and mine was 60'' long x 11'' wide.


And then, I connected them together using a single crochet stitch.

So happy that after two months of working on it, my cover-up is done and I will wear it later for a summer holiday. Maybe, I will make a swimsuit to match it šŸ˜



To avoid the neckline gaping, I crocheted strips 1.5 cm below the shoulder line (on the back neck).


And here is how the cover-up dress looks like when it is flat, looks like a rectangle shape šŸ˜ŠšŸ˜

Until next and thank you for stopping by šŸ’—
