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.
Is there a way to get a copy of your pattern for the Black Sheep from Melly and me? My maiden name is Lamb and we are having a craft contest for our family reunion. I would love to make these adorable sheep. If you could let me know, I would appreciate it.

Oh, that would be so cool to do for your family reunion! I don’t think you can order directly from Melly & Me, but their blog does give a list of retailers who carry their patterns. I found the Black Sheep pattern at Pink Chalk Fabrics, but I’m sure there are plenty of other retailers who also carry this particular pattern. –Anne

The deadline for entry has passed and the free pattern already given to the winner. However, you can still purchase this pattern. Check your favorite independent fabric stores.
I purchased the Sheep Pattern from Clotilde (clotilde.com); it’s adorable!
