It’s new: ABC – 123 Fabric Flashcards video workshop and pattern

by

Vanessa from The Crafty Gemini announces the release of her ABC – 123 Fabric Flashcards video workshop and pattern.  She created the fabric flashcards as an alternative to the paper flashcards that her son kept.  The fabric flashcards won’t get torn or wrinkled, and when they get dirty you can send them through the wash.  Her video workshop and pattern for this project are available from her shop for $9.99.   Get the scoop at The Crafty Gemini blog.

In celebration of the new video workshop and pattern, she’s giving away a selection of Pellon interfacing.  Giveaway ends Feb. 3, 2012 at 11:59pm EST.  You can get the details at her blog.

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.
