  1. This poor dog looks MISERABLE wearing this thing…the picture does nothing to make me want to make this item…it looks painful and uncomfortable based on the tortured look on the dogs face. I would suggest a photo of a happier dog.

    • I chose the photo I did because it shows most of the collar. The dog’s eyes are closed but that doesn’t mean unhappy. If you go to her blog, you can see plenty more photos, all showing what seems to be a very happy dog. –Anne

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.
