Tutorial: Fabric book cover with an elastic strap

Nina from Nina Makes shows how you can make a cloth book cover with an elastic strap.  Just wrap the strap over the cover to keep the book closed when you’re not using it.  She gives dimensions to make them to fit a Well Child book that many parents in New Zealand use, but you can adjust the dimensions to cover any book or blank journal.

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.
