Tutorial: DIY twill tape labels for clothes you sewWhy should you put labels in the clothes you sew?  For the same reason that manufacturers put them in the clothes they sell.  They tell who made the garment, or what size it is, or what kind of fabric it’s made from.  An added bonus is that you can use the label to tell which side is front when you’re putting it on.  Stephanie from Swoodson Says shows how she makes twill tape labels for the clothes she makes.  They’re simple to make and are a nice finish to any garment you sew.

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.
