    Thank you so much for the shout out! This was such a fun project! I am having to restrain myself from tearing apart all of my daughters dresses and adding bustles to them!

      Have you ever considered making one to sale!? My Fiancé is a Marine & he fell in love with this for our daughter on the way! He hasn’t had a daddy moment & when I showed him this dress, it was amazing how he just looked at it & had a smile from ear to ear & said get it! He said he had a flash forward & saw our daughter wearing this & that’s all he talked about all day long! So Please please please consider

    Oh, how adorable! I don’t think my son would like this though! But it would be too cute for my kid sis.

    And it could be used for Bastille Day too [hey, we could all use another excuse to celebrate!]

Have you read?

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.
