Learn how to make a sponge, the ‘unsponge’, a useful reusable sponge, you can make at home from offcuts, toss in the machine to clean, and reuse over and over.  Hellosewing has an easy video tutorial showing how.  Pick your colors to coordinate with your kitchen decor, or make the DIY unsponge for seasonal events – Halloween, Christmas, and summer watermelon sponges, spring to mind. The possibilities are endless! Make a few so you always have a zero waste sponge ready to use while the others may be air drying or in the washing machine.

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.
