Patterns, Techniques, Articles, Blogs, and other resources to learn how to sew
Hannah from While They Sleep shows how you can use a fitted sheet to make a gathered skirt. What’s so awesome about her method is that by using the elastic sides of the fitted sheet, you avoid having to thread elastic through a casing. This method is suitable for any size skirt, from baby to adult. Brilliant! Go to the tutorial.
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.
