It’s new: Loungewear designs by Colette Patterns

by

Sarai from Colette Patterns adds to her line of vintage-inspired sewing patterns with the introduction of two patterns for sewing loungewear.

“Nutmeg includes a sweet little bralette that ties in the back and at the shoulders with ribbons and looks perfect in a soft silky fabric. It also includes a pair of short french knickers, and longer tap pants with a pointed yoke….  Cinnamon is a bias-cut slip dress with a pointed midriff band in the front and double straps that loop through the front bodice. It can also be made as a camisole. Super flattering, it’s a great summer layering piece. And best of all, it’s sewn with only 6 pattern pieces!”

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.
