Tutorial: Fabric basket with a drawstring topPam from Threading My Way shows how to make a fabric basket with a drawstring top.  It’s a cross between a handled fabric basket and a drawstring bag.  I can think of so many uses for this!  Use it to organize kids’ toys.  Or to carry your sewing projects with you.  You could also use it to carry your toiletries with you when you travel.  Or use it as a roll basket for the dinner table.  I’m sure you can think of plenty more uses!  Go to Threading My Way to see how you can make one.

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.
