Tutorial: Benny Bunny pocket toy

by

Katie from The Red Kitchen kicks off a week of tutorials on her blog for making her Benny Bunny pocket toy.  The little finger puppet bunny lives in a recycled Altoids tin, with a bed just his size and a felt book to read.  The tin fits easily in a purse or busy bag, so you can pull him out when your kids need a little quiet diversion.  Go to the first post in the series .

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.
