Patterns, Techniques, Articles, Blogs, and other resources to learn how to sew
Jennifer from Ginger Freckle shares a tutorial on her blog showing how she made a set of grommet drapes. I love the clean lines of this style of window treatment!The curtain rod is threaded through really really large grommets set into the drapes. Hers go ceiling to floor to add warmth and coziness to a basement wall. Get the tute.

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.
Holy macaroni and cheese! Thanks for including my tute on Craft Gossip! We love the punch of color these drapes add to our basement. Comments and questions are always welcome. Toodle-doo! -J.
Very useful information! Thanks for posting! 🙂
