Tutorial: Fabric flowers made with window screening

Would you use window screening to make pretty fabric flowersw?  Steph from Crafting in the Rain says yes!  And the result is quite pretty. She shares a tutorial showing how she did it.  The contrast of the black screening with the bright flowers is a fun contrast.  I’m thinking the black screening would also be cool with orange and white fabrics to make Halloween hair accessories, or perhaps embellishments on a Halloween wreath.

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.
