Our giveaway for The Colette Sewing Handbook ended Thursday of last week, but I’ve been out of town until this evening and hadn’t had a chance yet to announce the winner.   But now that I’m back, I’m happy to announce that the winner is…

Commenter # 107, Siobhan, who said:

I love to sew, but I’m quite new at it and don’t feel very comfortable sewing my own clothing. I want to learn because I love fashion and would love to be able to wear items of my own design!

Congratulations, Siobhan!!  This book is exactly what you need to start sewing your own clothing.

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.
