Patterns, Techniques, Articles, Blogs, and other resources to learn how to sew
Holly from Holly and Co. shows the piece of fabric that has entertained her little girl for hours. It’s an IKEA fabric with outline drawings of houses and animals and rainbows and more. She gave her daughter washable markers to color them in. When it’s all filled in, she can wash the markers out and start over. Go to her blog to read more.

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.
