DIY Swimsuit Cover-up (Refashion)

Hi there, I refashioned my old rtw bathing cover-up into a cuter swimsuit cover-up and I love the final result. The idea came out on the day I was packing my suitcase, I saw a piece of fabric (rtw bathing cover-up I bought in Bali two years ago) and I told myself I should refashion it into a dress, something loose and fast to sew. I hurried up and started to sew because the flight will be in the next day and I was glad that I managed to finish it on time. I didn't know why, but I always sew something in the last minute instead of making a proper plan 😄 The sewing process started by folding the fabric and then folding it one more time. After that, I followed the measurements below and cut the fabric. Here is the look of my fabric after I cut the neckline and for the neckband, I cut the leftover fabric 5 cm wide, I used all the length left from the fabric and trimmed the excess. I sewed the ends of the neckband together and then pinned the neckband and neckline right sides together....

DIY Make-Up Zipper Pouch

By -

 

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 tape bands. I loved this method; it made the inner pouch neat and clean.

Here is the result. The inner pouch looks pretty as well as the outside pouch 💗
I turned the pouch inside out.

Here are more pictures of the finished pouch. And I'm thinking of making more to give to friends. I have a lot of leftover fabrics waiting for me to sew 😍
