I made another easy sewing project last week, a zippered pouch with quilted straight lines and lined. I made this pouch to store my stuff instead of messing up inside my bag. The size is approximately 21 cm width x 18 cm length, perfect size 😍 Materials:  Medium weight fabric, polyester batting and light cotton lining 38 cm x 26 cm. Zipper band extension, made from medium weight fabric (2x) 4.5 cm x 8.5 cm. Zipper 22 cm long. All my fabrics and notion are from my stash. The sewing process was fast and enjoyable, I did it in one afternoon.  And here are the step by step how I make the pouch: I loved the French-seam method for finishing the sides of the pouch, neat and easy. Don't need overlocker or bias tape band to secure the raw edges. The inner pouch is neat and fluffy, which I really like it :) In case you are interested in seeing the making o...

Hi there, Happy Monday 💕 I was looking for easy project to sew last weekend and suddenly came to my mind that I have to replace the old hot pads in our kitchen. So, I went to search inside my stash and found two pieces of leftover cotton fabrics. Yay 😍 For the size, I made exactly like my old ones and added different lines of top-stitching. The final size is 16 cm x 16 cm square, perfect size for me, not too big or small. I made 2 pairs (4 pieces) of hot pads and here are the material: - 18 cm x 18 cm of cotton fabrics (8 pieces). - 20 cm x 20 cm of polyester batting (4 pieces) - 12 cm long of 2 cm wide of fabric band (4 pieces) The sewing process was easy and fast, I started by pinning the polyester batting and cotton fabric together. And laid another cotton fabric on top, right sides together and pin around. I marked 10 cm to the fabric. Also, folded and pinned the fabric band on one corner 1.5 cm away from the side. I sewed the squar...

Hello... I hope you all had a lovely weekend :) I am late for my DIY Friday post this week because I was busy with a lot of things. I was preparing the post in Friday afternoon but I couldn't finish it. So, only today I manage to sit in front of my computer and continue writing the post :) I love making tote bag. In the previous time, I made several in different colors and shapes. I used some for myself and I gave some to close friends and family. And this time I made tote bag for my son Eduardo to put his stuff (blanket and pillow) to take to school. I was thinking that this tote bag will look nicer/cuter if I put some sticker in it. Then I searched my stash box and found the train stickers that I bought last time. I showed it to Eduardo and he likes it :) The sewing process of making this tote bag is easy and fast, I have done it in three hours and it was a very relaxing project to make :) The size of this tote bag ap...
