Patterns, Techniques, Articles, Blogs, and other resources to learn how to sew
Rae from Made by Rae shows how to make her Best Burpcloth. She shares the tutorial as part of the Celebrate the Summer Boy series. The burpcloths pictured here were made from a custom printed gauze (voile) from Spoonflower as the top layer, but you could also use a nice quilter’s cotton. The bottom layer is made from an old t-shirt, which is not only incredibly soft but also inexpensive. Get the tute.

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.
I love these. I am going to make these for a Lady I know who is almost due and really wants to be green with her baby and I think these are perfect for that.
