  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 Puff Sleeve Dress

By -
Hello, today's update is about my puff-sleeved dress, which I specially made to wear at my husband's birthday dinner last month. The design is a simple round neck dress, knee length and puff sleeves.
For the fabric, I used a silk-cotton blend and the fabric was a souvenir from our trip during Easter in Bangkok. I love the prints, so pretty.
I used my self-drafted pattern and I was planning to fully line the dress but I gave up because I thought the fabric wasn't transparent and I didn't need to worry about the lining.
The sewing process was enjoyable, I sewed the invisible zipper at the center back after sewing the darts. And then, sewed both front and back pieces at the shoulder line.
After that, I fused the fusible interfacing to the facings, sewed them together, and then attached them to the neckline.
I gathered the sleeves and then, attached them to the armholes.
After that, I sewed both sides of the dress, sewed the finished neckline by hand, and sewed the sleeve hems 1.5 cm and hemline 2.5 cm.
Here is the finished dress, I love the little puff sleeves and the fit was good, not too loose or too tight.
And here is the finished neckline, I basted and hand-sewed the facing. I love the neat result. 




That's it for today, thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoy reading my blog.
