Tutorial: How to fold your fabric stash

Your fabric stash will look so much nicer – and be more accessible – if you take the time to fold your fabric.  Becky from Patchwork Posse shares a tutorial telling how to do it, plus she gives some links to a couple of other useful posts, one that tells how to fold a fat quarter and another that has a free printable for paper bands to wrap your rolled up fabrics.

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.
