Sewing tutorial: Easy quilted mug rug using pre-quilted fabric

You can use pre-quilted fabric to make mug rugs and fabric coasters super quick and super easy.  Jamie from Scattered Thoughts of a Crafty Mom has a tutorial showing how.  The extra layers of the pre-quilted fabric help make them more absorbent, and with the quilting already done for you you get the look of quilting without having the stitch all those lines across your fabric.  They don’t take large pieces of fabric, so if you have some scraps of pre-quilted fabric left over from other projects this would be a great way to use them up.

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.
