Tutorial and pattern: Easy men's bow tieMayra from So Sew Easy shares a free pattern to make a men’s bow tie.  It’s easy to sew and you can make one in any kind of fabric depending on how dressy a look you’re going for.  The bow is sewn together so you don’t need to know how to tie a bow tie to wear it.  Hardware on the neckband gives it an adjustable fit.  She also includes instructions for how to draft the pattern yourself, so you can easily adjust the size if needed.

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.
