Tutorial: How to sew a blind hem

When you don’t want the stitches on a hem to show from the front, a blind hem is the way to go.  Because of how the hem is folded while it’s being sewn, most of the stitches will end up on the part of the fabric that is folded up, with just tiny stitches taken every so often into the garment itself.  Sew4Home shares a good tutorial showing how to make a blind hem.  You’ll need a special blind hem foot and a special blind hem stitch.  Luckily, most sewing machines come with these.

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.
