Tutorial: How to repair small holes in knit fabric

Agy from Green Issues by Agy shows how you can repair small holes in jersey knit fabrics.  You know, those tiny holes that pop up at places where the fabric gets extra wear –  at the corners of pockets, in the knees, at the hem.  These small holes can end up stretching and pulling into larger holes that are impossible to fix, but iIf you repair the hole while it’s still small, it’s an easy repair to make.

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.
