Tutorial: Kid’s folding floor cushion

Tutorial: Kid's folding floor cushionYou and Mie shows how to make a kid’s folding floor cushion.  It’s a long cushion stuffed with 4 standard bed pillows.  You can flip and fold it to create different shapes.  Keep it out flat for a nap mat.  Or lean it against the wall with just the end pillow folded up and it’s a reading-in-bed pillow.  Or fold up several of the pillows for more support at the back.  Buttons along the side make it easy to take the pillows out when the cover needs a good wash.  Go to You and Mie for the tutorial.

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.
