Anne from WobiSobi shows how you can make this tie-front t-shirt with a sparkly anchor design on it. It’s an easy no-sew project. The shirt is made from a plain t-shirt, with just some easy cuts to give it the wide neck and tie front. The tie-front was inspired by this tutorial by Let’s Get Thrifty. For the sparkly anchor, she used a glitter stencil technique.

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.
