Cupcake twin make up bags

If you have read my very first blog post, one of the first make up bags I designed was a pink cupcake one? Well, now pink cupcake has a navy blue twin! This is actually my favourite design, especially the red zip! Red zips are so hard to find! The lining and the thread used are also red which I think finishes the bag design off well. I think it’s really cute! I like darker designs, I think they stand out more and the red and navy really compliment each other.

I am in love with this fabric at the moment! I am thinking of definitely bringing some back with me to put on my Ebay account when I am home!

I have a very big tip, when you are ironing your fabrics, be very aware where your iron is touching without you noticing!! On one of my bags, the edge of my iron sneakily burnt my zip when I wasn’t looking and completely ruined the bag, right at the very end of finishing! So gutted! I still use it though, just doesn’t zip up! But it still looks pretty!

Cupcake make up bags!

Hi everyone,

So recently I purchased a sewing machine and went to classes, it’s nice to give my fingers a rest from all the hand stitching! The classes were so much fun, day 1 we learnt the basic stitches and overcasting which was so interesting. Day 2 we made a cushion cover and learnt how to insert button holes which I was absolutely fascinated with! Day 3 we made makeup bags and on the last day we made beach bags. Of course I got home, enthralled with all my new skills, decided to make exactly the same again, and forgot it all!! Ahhh! Luckily they had handed out leaflets with how-to’s on! So I thought I would share with you my home made make up bag! Complete with cupcake fabric and pink lining. Hope you like it 🙂 x
