Tutorial: Add sweater sleeves to a t-shirt

Melissa from Trevor Loves Mommy shows how she added sweater sleeves to a henley tee.  The look is inspired by a Free People shirt.  Made from a thrifted henley and sweater, her refashion cost considerably less than what it would take to buy one.  And, as a bonus, she had enough sweater left over to create a matching skirt.

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.
