Rhinestones are a great way to add some bling to your latest sewing project, whether it is a dress, a fancy pillowcase, a fun purse, or anything else that needs some shine. But what kind of rhinestone glue should you use?

I work for Sew Like a Pro™, an online sewing school that offers courses for sewing competition dance and skate dresses. Dance and skate dresses require a lot of decorations, the most common of which are rhinestones. That’s why we wrote a comprehensive blog post comparing four types of rhinestone glues, with extra application tips and links to where you can buy them. These glues work for stoning dance and skate dresses, as well as many other home sewing projects.

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.
