Tutorial: Bread Blanket embellished flour sack towelsAmanda from Jedi Craft Girl shares a tutorial for making her Bread Blanket flour sack towels.  They’re made from flour sack towels, which you can get inexpensively at the discount store, with a ruffle and fancy trim sewn to the bottom and an applique just above.  She designed this one to place over a pan of orange rolls fresh from the oven to keep them warm.  The orange applique also happens to perfect for summertime!  You can make them for other seasons, too, just by changing out the fabric and the applique design.  Go to Jedi Craft Girl for the tute.

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.
