D.I.Y. Secret Pocket in a Stuffed Animal (Stuffie)

     Good Day Happy Kittens!

    Today I will be showing you how to put a secret pocket inside a stuffed animal. I've seen these for sale and they call them Stuffies. ( https://www.stuffies.com/)
     It's a super fun a cute idea! Enjoy the tutorial!


                                            Here's what you need:
                                           
                               1. Fabric
                               2. Sewing Machine (You will need a zipper foot)
                               3. Needle and Thread ( And things that go with it: Scissors, pins, ect. ect. )
                               4. Stuffed Animal
                               5. Matching Zipper



                       Step 1: Get all the needed items together



Step 2: Cut out two pieces of fabric, both of the same size


Step 3: Lay the two pieces of fabric together, so that the not so colorful sides are on the outside 
(inside-out)


Step 4: Sew together three sides
Don't turn right-side-out!


Step 5: Hem the top


Step 6: Sew on the zipper ( This is where the zipper foot comes in handy)


Step 7: Cut a straight line the length of the pocket  
Note: Cut a little smaller and if you need more room you can always cut more.


Step 8: Take out some stuffing



Step 9: Place the pocket in the hole and hand stitch together. Blind stitch works the best!


Now you're done! 
Remember your stuffed friend is going to need a little extra TLC!  


The zipper is nearly invisible!




You can put any thing you like in it! It's super fun and easy!






I hope you enjoyed making this and I will see you very soon!

Review: NYC High Definition Volume Mascara

    Hello my lovely Kittens!
So It's been a while since I did a review, so I hope you enjoy!

   About a year ago I picked up this mascara called  "NYC High Definition Volume Mascara". It's was only about $5 and it looked good. When I got home I decided to try it out, I found out that it is an okay brand but it clumps very easily. 

   But, I must say that, once I put it on before a long car trip. I fell asleep, and no smudging! I would like you to see for your self, so please enjoy! ^.^


                                           Here it is!


                             This is the bottle. I like the color!



                       The brush is just plastic and is quite skinny.



My eye before the product, I did use a curler.


This is just one coat and it seemed dark enough. I didn't like how much it separated my eyelashes.



    This is what it looked like about 3 hours after I applied it.



I hoped you enjoyed my review and I hope to see you next time!
