Patterns, Techniques, Articles, Blogs, and other resources to learn how to sew
Kataryna Borders from Sew Chibi made this cute little outfit for her daughter out of a striped sweater. The sweater never really fit her, so she turned it into a sleeveless tunic and matching capris for her little girl. She writes about her refashion in a guest post in the Refashion Month series over at House of Estrela. Go there to read more about how she made this outfit.

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.
