Free pattern: Circles from 1″ to 58″ diameter

by

When a sewing project calls for cutting a perfect circle, do you find yourself raiding your kitchen cabinets looking for a glass or a plate or ANY round item to trace around?  And do you find yourself cursing the diameter of the items that are just a smidge too big or too small? 

Carla Hegeman Crim, AKA The Scientific Seamstress, solves the circle problem with a downloadable template for cutting circles sizes 1″ to 58″ in diameter.  She shares the template for free on her blog.  How awesome is that!!  Get the circle template.

    • I have IE and I was able to download it. One thing I might mention is that this a large file. If you’re trying to just click the link to open in your browser, it may be locking up. Try right-clicking the file to save to your computer first. I find I have much better luck opening large files this way.

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.
