Tutorial: How to measure to make curtains

The only thing I find difficult with making curtains is getting the measurements.  The sewing part is easy, it’s figuring out how big to cut the fabric that stresses me out.  Julie from Yulki’s Home Decor has a great tutorial telling how to measure for curtains.  She tells how to figure what size pieces to cut based on the length of your curtain rod, the type of curtain you want to make, the diameter or height of your curtain rod, and the length of curtain you want.

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.
