Patterns, Techniques, Articles, Blogs, and other resources to learn how to sew
LiEr from ikat bag joins Celebrate the Boy with a tutorial on her blog showing how to make a pair of shortalls. These are soo cute on little kids, and their shape easily accommodates a child’s growing body. And do you love love love the piped patch pocket on the bib? She shares that in a separate tutorial. Get the tutorial for making the shortalls. Get the tutorial for the piped pocket.
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.
Thank you so much for this pattern, it’s awesome!! I’ve been looking for one for ages and this is perfect, I can’t wait to attempt it 🙂
