Upgrade your favorite winter hat by adding a faux fur pom pom! You can buy pre-made faux fur pom poms at the fabric store, but the selection is generally pretty limited. To get exactly the size and style fur you want, you’ll need to make your own. Luckily, they’re easy to make and once you know how you’ll be sewing up piles of adorable faux fur pom poms. Head over to Heather Handmade for a tutorial showing how.

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.
