Can you help a girl out with some sewing research?

Ruth from Cut the Cloth plans on doing academic research on the home sewing industry for her final year in university.  The title of her planned research is A Social Study of Sewing Patterns.  Problem is, there’s actually not that much recent research out there for her to draw from.  So, she needs your help.  She has a quick survey for home sewists that will help in her academic research.

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.
