Card Condo sew-along tomorrow with Quick Quilts Saturday

by

cardcondocoverA little birdie tells me that the project tomorrow (May 17, 2014) at Quick Quilts Saturday is my Card Condo.   How cool is that!!  I was super excited when I heard the news!  The Card Condo is kind of like an fabric organizer book.  Each “page” has pockets to organize receipts and loyalty cards and other paper whatnot that collects in our wallets.  The design was a request from my mother-in-law, who I’ve decided is a very smart woman.  I’ve been using my Card Condo for several years now.  Every time I pull it out, I have people oohing and ahhing and asking where to get one.

You can join up with the sew-along with Quick Quilts Saturday.  They’re a private Facebook group, but anyone can join.  I can’t wait to see all the Card Condos that get made!!  I just saw the one they made in purple as their Facebook page header. Sooo pretty!!!

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.
