Patterns, Techniques, Articles, Blogs, and other resources to learn how to sew
Amy from Positively Splendid shows how to make a pretty scalloped sunglass case. They don’t take much fabric to make, so you can use up some of your scraps of favorite fabrics. Go to her blog for a 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.
These are so cute! Must make a few. Now where are my glasses…
This is a very cute and practical pattern but pattern does not show up after printed, as it is gray with no out line. A wash out when printed. Can you fix this for us? Thank you.
I am not the project author, so I’m afraid I can’t help you with that. Though I can tell you that I did a test print and it seemed to come out okay for me. The pattern IS the gray shape. Hope that helps! –Anne
