Patterns, Techniques, Articles, Blogs, and other resources to learn how to sew
Disney from Ruffles and Stuff joins Celebrate the Boy with a tutorial showing how to make a monster pillow that’s as much a toy as a bed accessory. It’s made from flannel and the eyes, nose, mouth, and other facial features are removable and interchangeable. A pocket on the back holds all of the felt pieces. There’s no limit to the monster making possibilities – and the fun! LOVE! Get the tutorial.

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.

Nancy, There isn’t a pattern for the pillow base, but she gives the dimensions to cut in her tutorial. If you scroll further down in her tutorial, there are .jpg images for the hair, noses, eyes, etc. To download them, just right-click on the image and save it to your computer. –Anne
