Patterns, Techniques, Articles, Blogs, and other resources to learn how to sew
Melanie from The Crafty Cupboard shares a free pattern for making a baby’s reversible wrap dress. Her tutorial is written with beginning sewers in mind. The pattern is sized for a baby roughly 2 months old. The “reversible” part might sound like it would be difficult, but actually adding this extra layer make it an easier project. All of the rough edges will get turned to the inside when you turn the layers right side out. Get the pattern and tutorial.

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.
