Tutorial: 2 ways to hem swimsuit fabric

Denise from DIY Crush shows two ways you can hem swimsuit fabric.  Even if you’re not brave enough to tackle making an actual swimsuit, you could make a simple swim skirt or rash guard (swim top) out of swimsuit material.  The first hem she shows is with zig zag stitches, either a standard zig zag or specialty zig zag stitches your machine can make.  The second method (my favorite) is a twin needle.  Both are easy to do and will stretch with your fabric.

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.
