A 1950s vintage sewing swag giveaway

Look at all these 1950s vintage sewing goodies!!  They’re all part of a huge giveaway at the Pattern Patter blog.  The Etsy vintage pattern sellers’ group has collected this group of 1950s sewing swag to give away to one of their readers.  The prize package includes a 1950s sewing book, 4 1950s sewing patterns, 4 generous cuts of vintage fabric (2-4 yards each), vintage buttons & trims, and a pair of black gloves that would be the perfect accessory with a vintage-made dress.

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
