KathreenThe news from Whip Up this morning is heartbreaking.  Founder Kathreen Ricketson died unexpectedly in tragic accident while on a year-long adventure with her family.  Her partner Rob Shugg is still missing.  For more specifics on what happened, I’ll point you over to Whip Up.  A fund has been set up to benefit her children.  Info about that fund can be found here.

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.
