Free download: Super Cute Pattern Making Measurement Chart

by

Every time I make a garment for myself, I get out the measuring tape to see how big I am around the waist, hips, etc.  The numbers tend to get jotted down on scrap bits of newspaper with no notations as to their significance, and end up getting thrown out at the end of the project.  Clearly, there’s a better way to do this.   

Keyka Lou Patterns shares a downloadable worksheet on her blog so you can keep your measurements handy.  Just take a tape measure and fill in all the blanks with your various measurements, and you’ll have all the information you need for your next garment sewing project.  And because all practial things can be made pretty, it features a super cute paper doll illustration.  Get the free downloadable chart.

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.
