Tutorial: Faux wrap pencil skirt

This fitted wrap skirt is actually a pencil skirt with a faux wrap layer across the front.  Smart, huh?  Charlie from This Blog is Not For You made it using a basic pencil skirt pattern.  Adding the faux wrap layer is an easy addition that gives another look to the classic pencil skirt.  She used the Ultimate Pencil Skirt pattern by Sew Over It, but this will work with any basic pencil skirt pattern.

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.
