Sewing Tutorial: How to shorten a cuffed sleeve

by

Tutorial: How to shorten a cuffed sleeve Nicole from Liola Patterns shows how you can shorten a cuffed sleeve, like you find on a men’s dress shirt.  Her method keeps all of the cuff and placket details intact by shortening from the shoulder.  This is a particularly smart method if you have to remove very much length from the sleeve.  Go to Liola Patterns blog to see how to do it.

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.
