Patterns, Techniques, Articles, Blogs, and other resources to learn how to sew
If you’re eyeing some corduroy fabric for use in your cooler weather sewing projects, check out this post at Did You Make That?. She gives some tips for sewing on corduroy. The things we love most about corduroy – the heavy weight, the nap, the way it wears – mean you’ll need to take some extra care when sewing on it.

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.
