Dress up your ironing board

by

I recently filmed a how-to video in my studio and as I was redecorating the “set”, I realized that my ironing board cover looked awful! Truth is, I never really gave it much thought.

I set out to find a cool board cover to go with the rest of my studio and it was hard- seriously! Seems that other people don’t really give the ironing board much thought either!

That is where Purr-Fit comes in. Sharin Heinrich creates custom and ready-made covers to fit all ironing boards. She offers them in a gazillion prints to go with every decor. Plus they go for about $12.00- so are a super affordable way to add some pizazz to your sewing space!

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.
