Easy way to organize your interfacing scraps

I pulled out my interfacing bin the other day and realized what a disorganized mess it was!  I like to save my scraps of interfacing because you never know when that extra little strip will be enough to keep you from an errand to the fabric store.  But all those bits had gotten to be a mess!  Luckily there was a super simple organizational solution and because it’s back-to-school sale time, all supplies I needed were on deep discount.  Read on my personal blog, Orange Bettie, how I brought order to my interfacing bin for less than $5 in supplies.

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.
