It’s new: Fat Quarterly e-Zine

by

Fat Quarterly is a new e-Zine for modern sewists.   While the focus will be on quilting, there promises to be plenty of sewing projects in there as well.  After all, those who quilt often sew other projects, and those who sew clothes and accessories often like use patchwork to embellish their work. 

Editors of this exciting new publication include Tacha from Hanies, Katy from I’m a Ginger Monkey, John Adams from Quilt Dad, Kate from One Flew Over,  Brioni from Flossy Bossy, and Aneela from comfortstitching. 

The first issue is due out April 27.  Subsequent issues will be released quarterly.  Find out more from Fat Quarterly.  Can’t wait for the release?  Follow their 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.
