Patterns, Techniques, Articles, Blogs, and other resources to learn how to sew
Kristina Clements from Kristina J., and author of The Chic Girl’s Guide to a One-of-a-Kind Wardrobe, shows how you can add a gathered sleeve to a sleeveless top. You can use fabric that blends with the original top, as she did, or go for a contrast if your sleeveless top is made up in a hard to match fabric. Go to her blog for the tutorial.

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.
