Free pattern: Pencil skirt peplum dressRemona from The Stitching Scientist shares a free pattern for making a pencil skirt peplum dress.  It’s a classic look that you can sew up fairly easily using knit fabric.  Her free pattern comes in two sizes – women’s size small and medium.  If you need another size, you should be able to draft your own using a shirt and skirt you well as a sizing guide and her pattern as a guide for drawing the shapes.  Go to The Stitching Scientist for the pattern and tutorial.

    I love the dress but want to make it and having the hardest time printing a usable pattern. I want to make the size Medium. Do you know what the dimensions are for converting the 8 X 10 paper to scale for a size medium?

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.
