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.
Thanks Anne! Your job must be such fun! Do you simply cruise the internet all day looking for cool stuff? I appreciate it because I would never find it all!
So glad you like the links I share! I probably spend way too much time digging around for projects, but I was doing that long before I started blogging at Craft Gossip! Now I just have an excuse…. “Honey, can you fold the laundry. I’m WORKING.” 🙂 –Anne
THANK YOU!!!!!! I’m am making this right now! It’s perfect for the mom-to-be whose baby shower I am going to next weekend.
Thank for this owl softie, your instructions are quite clear and should be easy to make.
