Tutorial: DIY Hiccup costume

I am in awe of this Hiccup costume (from How To Train Your Dragon 2)!  Ashley from Make It and Love It made it for her son, and she shares a tutorial showing how she made it.  It’s made from vinyl (or faux leather) with oodles of buckles and rivets to make it look like the armor worn by the movie character, but actually it’s held together mostly with Velcro which makes it easy for kids to wear.

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.
