Tutorial: Braided Zipper Bracelet

Sewing notions don’t always have to be used for sewing.  Steph from The Silly Pearl shares a tutorial at Blitsy showing how you can make this braided zipper bracelet.  Metal zippers will work best because the shiny teeth stand out from the colored tape and add an edgy bling.  The metal zipper pull becomes a charm hanging from the clasp.  Three zippers will make two bracelets – one for you and one to give a friend.

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.
