Patterns, Techniques, Articles, Blogs, and other resources to learn how to sew
Citra from Innocentia shows how to make a sweet little balloon dress for toddler girls. This is so pretty! The simple lines at the top make the gathered balloon hem the focus. Her pattern is a size 2T, but you could easily use an existing garment as a guide to adapt it larger or smaller as needed. Get the how-to.

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.
