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.
My favorite dress as a child was a red dress with a full skirt and sewn in netting to make it very full. It had rhinestone buttons on the front and glitter on the front. I felt so special when I wore it and just loved to spin and spin. I still love shiny and glittery, fifty years later! Cool book. Would love to win and try out some of the patterns for my seven(!) grandkids.
My favorite childhood outfit was the first communion dress my mom made for me. White with swiss dots, short puffy sleeves and really really short. It was the 70’s!
I still have it today!
My favorite outfit as a little girl was a purple polka dotted pant and shirt set, it looked and felt like pajamas, but way cooler! (it was the 80’s) the best part were the stirrups on the legs of the pants that helped keep then tucked in to my sneakers….Miss that outfit, maybe I will make myself another one!
