Second sewing project: make-up bag

Today I'd like to share my second finished sewing project. It's really easy to make. You just need a zipper and two cloths: one for the outside and one for the inside. To draw the pattern you only need to draw a rectangle, it should be as long as your zipper, mine was 20cmx16cm. Then you draw the rectangle onto your fabric, you need two rectangles of each fabric. Then you just sew them onto your zipper and you have a lovely bag to put your make-up in!

Christmas baking


Well, Christmas is round the corner so, taking advantage of this long weekend in December, my mother and I started with the Christmas baking today. The chosen cookies for this festive holiday are: Peanut butter oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and Hungarian jam cookies. I'm pretty proud with the results! The cookies are delicious! I'm taking some to school tomorrow, let's see what the rest of the teachers think! ;-)

The recipes we followed are from an old magazine, but I'm sharing a couple of online recipes that are pretty close to the ones I followed: jam cookies and oatmeal peanut butter chocolate chip cookies

Let me know if you've tried any of them! Happy Christmas baking! :-)
