Tutorial and pattern: Faux fur and sweater Christmas stockingsAlicia from Sew What Alicia shows how you can make these faux fur trimmed sweater Christmas stockings.  They’re beautiful from white sweater knit and a light brown faux fur, and have muslin ties to hang them up.  Sweater knit fabric can be hard to find, so if you don’t have any you can always cut up an old sweater.  (Though if you wanted to make a set of matching stockings, you’d probably need to use yardage to get enough 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.
