Tutorial: Color blocked sweater dress from 2 thrifted sweaters

Melissa from Trevor Loves Mommy made this awesome sweater dress out of a couple of thrifted sweaters!  One sweater became the arms, turtleneck, and skirt while the other was used to make the bodice. She shares a tutorial showing how to cut and sew the sweaters together to make a color blocked dress.

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.
