Free pattern: Vintage patio skirt

January 12, 2015 by Anne Weaver

Catherine from Frisky Scissors has a free vintage project sheet for making a patio skirt at the Pattern Patter blog. The vintage pattern sheet was originally published by Coats & Clark in the 1970s, though this style of maxi skirt would still stylish to wear today. It has a flat front and gathers around the sides and back. The pamphlet includes a handy guide for fabric choice depending on your mood, so depending on whether your goals is Just Relaxing, For A Quiet Evening at Home, or To Make Your Husband Proud, you’ll know exactly what type of fabric to use.

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.
