Do you find your fabric scraps mounting up and you hate to throw them away? Are you somebody who loves to reduce, reuse and recycle?. Then, here is something cute, easy, and useful you can sew with your leftover fabric scraps, some DIY reusable makeup remover pads.
Well, I have a mixture of all types of fabrics in my stash. There are woven fabrics in different colors and prints, there are fleece fabrics and also some flannel scraps. I decided to mix flannel and wovens to make these DIY makeup remover pads.
These wipes are so quick to sew. You can cut a number of them together and sit in front of your sewing machine to sew a bunch in one sitting. They can be useful for yourself and can make great handmade gifts too.
So, let’s get straight to the tutorial;
DIY Reusable Makeup Remover Pads
Materials Required:
Scraps of medium-weight cotton fabrics.
Scraps of Flannel or absorbent terry cloth.
Clips to hold the fabric pieces together.
Sewing Notions.
Sewing
Gather your supplies.
Cut your fabrics to 3” x 3” squares; one from cotton and the other from fleece.
Layer the fabric pieces with the right sides together and edges lined up. Clip them together so that they do not slip while sewing.
Sew around the edges, leaving a gap of around 1.5-inches to turn them right side out ( use 3/8- inch as seam allowance).
This is what it should look like.
Clip the corners and trim the edges, making sure not to cut through the stitches.
Turn the right side out.
Poke the corners out gently with the tip of your scissors or a wooden dowel.
Tuck the raw edges in and press to make it neat and crisp.
Topstitch all around, sewing the opening shut.
Your DIY reusable makeup remover pad is ready!
