Tutorial: Cat Nap aromatherapy pillowRachel from Adventures in Making shares a free pattern to make her Cat Nap aromatherapy pillow.  These little kitty pillows are sooo cute, especially made from a sweet calico print.  The long thin pillow fits across your eyes, and also happens to be a good shape to turn into a kitty face.  She filled hers with lavender, chamomile, and lemon balm to aid in relaxation.  You could also make this as a rice bag to heat in the microwave to soothe aches and pains.  Go to Adventures in Making for the pattern and tutorial.

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.
