Tutorial: The Very Hungry Caterpillar costume for a child

Joy from xoxo Grandma tells how she made this Very Hungry Caterpillar costume for her granddaughter.  It’s her response to the Signature Style sew-along theme for Project Run and Play.  It’s based on a dress pattern, with elastic added to poof it up, and stuffed poufs stitched to the back.  For the face, there’s a red hat with big eyes and antennae.  This would make a sweet costume for Halloween!  It would also be neat for a book dress-up day or for just pretend play around the house.

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.
