It’s the Fiskateers!

I was looking around on the Internet to find a pattern for a sewn picture frame, when I stumbled upon the Fisk-a-teers. I’m not quite sure what the deal is- although they are toted as “Craft Ambassadors”, their blog doesn’t seem Crafty as much as about personal accounts. But I did get that it is brought to you by Fiskars.

But either way, I did find this really great quilted frame idea. It would be so cute as is for a baby’s room or done in chic op-art fabric could work in more contemporary settings. Either way, I just love when quilting is done in the unexpected!

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.
