Inspiration: $20 DIY Tin Man Halloween Costume

Amy from Sews n Bows shows the most adorable Tin Man costume she made for her young daughter for less than $20.  With some creativity, she was able to use a basic dress pattern and a basic leggings pattern to make the tin man’s top and pants.  Other parts of the handmade costume include arm covers, the funnel hat, and a big heart locket.  To make this for a boy you could leave off the ruffles, using a long-sleeve t-shirt pattern instead of a tank dress and a basic pants pattern.

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.
