Patterns, Techniques, Articles, Blogs, and other resources to learn how to sew
Cathe from Just Something I Made joins the Craft Camp series at Skip To My Lou with a free printable set of sewing cards for the kids. These are great to teach young hands the fundamental motions of handstitching, and also give them something do while sitting in church, restaurants, waiting rooms, or any other place you need small bodies to be still and quiet. Get the free printable at Skip To My Lou.

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.
