Sew Organized

by

I am in the process of revamping my closet. Like most of my friends my age (mid thirties in case you were wondering) we are feeling the need to update our looks. I no longer want to wear the stuff I did in my 20’s and am NO where near wanting to shop in the “Women’s” Department. But I do want to look chic, fabulous, slightly vintage and very pulled together.

While I’m still figuring out my new look, I can be concentrating on buying more shoes and sewing some fabulous closet organizers!

McCall Patterns M5600 has some fantastic organizers- including a shoe rack!

So when I’m ready to make the clothes of my dreamy new look, I’ll have all I need to keep em organized!

  1. I’m trying to organize my closet. So, I bought the pattern your talking about here… Only I’m sort of stuck. I’m making the shoe thing too, i can’t figure out steps 13-19. can you help me?
    thanks

  2. Unfortunately, I’m not able to be of much help here. This article was posted by the previous sewing editor, and I don’t have this pattern in my fabric closet to review. You might try looking for information from the pattern manufacturer. Good luck on your sewing project!

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.
