Patterns, Techniques, Articles, Blogs, and other resources to learn how to sew
LiEr from ikat bag shares a free pattern and tutorial on her blog for making a stick horse out of a pants leg. The blue jeans she used are super cute (especially with the pink bridle and pink yarn mane), but you could easily use pants from other fabrics as well. A pair of khakis would make a light brown horse. Or maybe even a floral print for a super girly horse? Get the 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.
