Pleated Tote - yet to name it. The sample went to my darling sister Masni. Perhaps I'd call it that. The Masni Pleated Tote haha...I need to lenghthen the straps to turn this into a tote though :D
Two Makeup Pouches - can also be anything pouch depends on what you put inside :)
I made two designs. One with pleated bottom and one without. The one without pleats lies flat and looks bigger. But the pleating on the other one actually make the pouch roomier.
Some wonky shapes as the design is not the stiff and padded type. I used medium strength interfacing on both exterior and lining fabric.
The most challenging part of this one is poking the top zipper end points to make it look remotely decent....arrghh....and the zipper cover, I tell you...costs me a few broken needles...lucky my baby was not in the room or else she'll learn many new words lol!
The inside. Love the print though. Already making notes to better improve the designs.
So, how do I fare? ;)
Love the pouches, and your fabric choice is superb.. as always.
ReplyDeleteJust a suggestion, why not place the flowery faby on top and have the stripes/dots faby as the base..and i love the lining, very pretty indeed. I am horrible at sewing zippers, but yours look very nice and neat with the cover and all..
sue - you think so? that's a great idea! next time I'll try that combo with the floral on top. those zipper..looks can be deceiving..I had to readjust my machine's tension to get the foot to move accross them urgh...but I love the covered zipper look. thanks sue!
ReplyDeleteHey Zura,
ReplyDeleteLove your fabrics, and the pouches are wow!!. Superb!
I still havent tried adding a zipper to anything, but I want to try it soon.

ReplyDeletemaking pouches using shorter zipper is good practice, you should try it! :)

ReplyDeletelove the covered zipper too :)

ReplyDeletekak haida - tote bag tu zura draf paten dulu kak, placement pleat dia tu pening....tak larat nak wat tute for this one hehe, perhaps nanti kalau wat lagi zura amik gambar steps dia
I found that sewing zipper is extremely easy. Maybe u didnt install the suitable base for zipper at the needle part b4 sewing?
ReplyDeleteHi! I would suggest you pair patterned fabric with the plain one. It will be more adorable. Pairing two different patterns made it a bit...off. Just my two cents. Anyway, I know PTD life is so damn busy. I wonder when you do all these... mmm... bravo.
ReplyDeleteHi Nurul! Thanks for the tips, really appreciate it :) These are my weekend sewing. Yup all of them on weekends and of course the occasional holidays :)
