  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.

DIY Batik Shirt - Ottobre Design Pattern

By -


Hi there, I'm back from our summer holiday in Bangkok and we had a great time. I hope your summer holiday was enjoyable. As usual, I made new dresses for the holiday but will show you the dresses later. For now, I will show you a batik shirt I made for my husband. The shirt was his birthday present and I was glad he loved it.

He got the batik from my mom last year, a typical Indonesian batik with a combination of black and brown.
For the pattern, I used Ottobre Design Four Fellows shirt, size 54. I made this pattern before in a short sleeve and this time I made the hemline straight.


After I cut all the pieces and fused the interfacing on the collar pieces, I started working on the shirt according to the usual manner. It was an enjoyable process, especially since cotton fabric was easy to work with.
The only tricky one was sewing the collar and attaching it to the neckline. I did a lot of pinning and basting to get a neat result.



I uploaded a video of the making of this shirt and all the details on my YouTube channel, you can click the link if you are interested to see more DIY Batik Shirt or click the video below,



The prints didn't match because of the limited fabric but I think is okay. Also, I only sew one pocket because two are too much for my husband's liking.



I was happy the shirt turned out well and it fits him nicely. My husband wore it on the Birthday dinner šŸ˜

I made the pink printed dress as well and I will show you the detail in another post.

That's it for today, thank you for stopping by and happy sewing šŸ’—
