Sewing design decisions that will make your projects shine

by

Sewing-Design-ChoicesBeautiful sewing projects don’t just happen by chance.  They happen as a result of smart design decisions all along the way, from choosing a pattern or fabric to taking care when cutting it out.  The problem is we often don’t realize that we’re making these decisions, so we don’t necessarily put much thought into it. Lisa from Mabey She Made It has a wonderful post to help you slow down and recognize the ways you can make intentional design decisions to create projects that really shine.

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.
