Tutorial and pattern: Women's crossback tank

I don’t work out often, and I think part of the reason I don’t is that I never have the right things to wear.  Obviously, your clothes need to be comfortable and able to move with you but a little bit of cute also goes a long way to up your motivation to get moving.  Melissa from Blank Slate Patterns and Melly Sews shares a free pattern for this cross back workout tank. The crossback design is sporty and fun, plus it has a loose fit that’s perfect to wear over a fitted tank or sports bra.

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.
