Tutorial: Easy French seam pillows
Heather from Feather’s Flights shows how you can make quick throw pillows from a couple of fat quarters. But just because they’re quick to sew doesn’t mean they’re not finished nicely. They have French seams so there are no raw edges on the inside. And bonus, they create a pretty little flange around the outside of the pillow!

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.
