Free pattern: Unisex silk slippers

September 15, 2014 by Anne Weaver

Sewn Up by TeresaDownUnder is offering a free pattern for making a pair of silk slippers. This would be a great project to use a silk scarf, perhaps one that is showing damage in isolated spots. The pattern is unisex. Because they’re made from silk, these are more of a lightweight slipper. For a sturdier pair for everyday use, she recommends replacing the silk with a sturdier fabric and using a thick felt inside the soles instead of batting. I think you could probably still use the silk for the top, though with a sturdier fabric for the lining.

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing 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.
