wip : completed

here it is! my make-up pouch :) now, i don't need to rummage through a few drawers for a lipstick. every bit and pieces are zip in together. it's full and compact and it feels like carrying a piece of log! lol

since i was making this for myself, i was free to slumber with the design. oh that was so good! :) i was uncertain about the lace. so, i sewed it on one side and not the other to see which looks good. now, if anyone ever wonder if i'm going to rip that off incase i don't like it, certainly not! lol that's what i meant to slumber along AND feels totally fine with it :>

and i do like this side without the lace blocking the lower piece. i love this plaid! i was a bit dissapointed when it doesn't look as yellow bright as the picture shown in the website when i bought it. it was a little bit more to the muddy brownie kind of color. but the more i look at it, the more it grow on me and matching with this cute blue breman fabric is just so awesome :)

these two were the pockets inside. i couldn't decide on which fabric to use. so, i used both. and the pleats were just so pretty to look at :) though i was not sure how it would turns out... create more room for the pockets or otherwise ...

well, they works! the pleat does make the pocket more roomy and doens't make the opening too loosely. perfect for storing small perfume samples. love collecting them.

with one BIG mistake! look at the bottom! :/

i don't know how to explain in words. so, i drew a diagram to show the mistake.

'leave 2 cm for the base' . so, the pockets on both sides will not end up as part of the bottom inside the pouch. price to pay for being too slumbering :?

as now, it's compactly filled with my stuff, i was thinking to make the pouch taller in the future but then the things inside would be tossing around. oh no. conclusions : i love how everything turns out! even with the mistake :)

What a gorgeous make-up pouch, Est! I love the fabrics you've used - they look so good together and I love the side with the lace and the one without!
Great idea to add pockets inside. I can never find anything inside my make-up bag - I may have to make me one with pockets!!

It's fab! And like Lesley, I love the idea of pockets inside - what a fab idea! I can see myself having a go at one now! Although I'm like you and don't have much makeup!
