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...

DIY V-neck Tiered Dress

Hello, I made three dresses to wear on my trip to Bangkok during the Easter holiday and this dress is the first one I made. I will share another two in the next posts. 
I started working on this dress two weeks before the trip and I'm glad I managed to finish it on time, as well as my other dresses. 
This dress was fun and relaxing to sew because I made one before in a midi length, so this time I shortened the length until my knee and sewed it easily.

For the fabric, I used a printed rayon from my stash and white cotton lining leftover from my previous make.
For the pattern, I used my self-drafted pattern.

At first, I didn't want to add the lining but I had to because the fabric was a bit transparent, the lining fabric wasn't enough and I connected the pieces to make the back skirt.

Here is the look of the fabric after cutting and the skirt was pieces of a rectangle: the first tiers - front and back, the last tier on the fold ( I forgot to take the picture).


I gathered the skirt pieces and lined them on the floor before sewing, the first tiers (front and back skirt) and the last tier.

I attached the first tier to the bodice and also the lining too. Pinned and sewed it.


I sewed the last tier, the invisible zipper, and hemmed the dress.
Sewing the lining to the bodices and skirts wasn't easy, I did a lot of basting before sewing and I'm glad I managed to finish it nicely. 
And here is the finished dress, I love it and it's so flowy, perfect for summer.

I have a new YouTube channel to explain more detail about this dress and in case you are interested to watch, here is the video








That's it for today, see you again soon šŸ’— Take care and happy sewing šŸ’—āœ‚
