  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 Square Neck Dress

By -


Hi there, happy weekend šŸŒøšŸŒø
I made a square neck dress to wear during my holiday last month and was happy with the result. The dress was easy to sew, and the fit was perfect for hot summer weather. The design was a simple short-sleeved dress with the addition of sweet a square neck.
For the fabric, I used printed cotton that I bought in Bangkok in the last Easter holiday.
And for the pattern, used my self-drafted. I made two dresses before using this pattern. The first dress was made in June last year using linen blend fabric, link here. The second dress was made in July last year using printed cotton fabric, link here

.

This time, I made the back neck in a round style and also reduced 1 cm to the square neck because the previous dresses were a bit bigger and made the square neck gaping.

I worked on the neckline after I stitched the darts, and zipper and connected the pieces together.
As usual, I fused the fusible interfacing on the facings before sewing them together.

I pinned the facing to the neckline, stitched it and clipped the corners using the scissors.

The square neck was neat and I secured the facing with hand-sewing. 


And then, I did the rest of the sewing according to the usual manner, and my dress was done. 
I loved the result.







I wore the dress to dinner, it was my son's birthday, and I also wore it the next day exploring Benchakitti Park, Bangkok. And I was really blended with the green šŸ˜ƒ

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