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.
Thanks, Anne, for featuring my tutorial! I always have such a great time looking through the things you feature here. So many great ideas! Now if I could just have more time to try more of them….
I have enjoyed making this empire waisted apron, I have made one of each of my daughters (3) then purchased some great vintage fabrics and have made three more for friends, I have added a pocket on a couple and featured a small button on the pocket. I enjoyed the whole process and now look for more fabrics to make even more, the bit I enjoy most is choosing three fabrics and each choice throws up a completely different look, really love them, thank you very much. I have your printed off instructions nearby and hope to make many more. Joan
