Tutorial: Blanket carrier strap

by

IMG_5953Sew a blanket carrier strap to make it easier to carry a blanket to the park or for a picnic!  Instead of wrapping two arms around a folded and floppy blanket, use this strap to carry it one handed. Art Gallery Fabrics shares a tutorial at Bernina’s We All Sew showing how you can make one.  The straps wrap around a rolled blanket and have a carrying handle across the top.

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.
