Patterns, Techniques, Articles, Blogs, and other resources to learn how to sew
Maureen fromMaureen Cracknell Handmade is giving away 11 half-yard cuts of fabric on her blog right now! Eleven. Half-yard. Cuts. And did I mention that the fabrics are seriously cute?? The fabrics are offered by Poppy Seed Fabrics, one of her sponsors. Go there now to get yourself entered! (Deadline is 10pm EST on Sunday, September 11, 2011.)

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.
I would either make a wall hanging for my craft/sewing room or a couple tot bags for me and my nieces.
starting on my first quilt, hope to have it done by winter. This would really help me out tremendously.
Thanks Anne! going there right now.
I love these fabrics!
