Tutorial: Knit fabric wrap skirt

Tutorial: Knit fabric wrap skirtJessica from Happy Together shows how you can make this wrap-around skirt out of knit fabric.  If you look closely at the photo, you can see a seam midway around the skirt.  That’s where a circle skirt top is attached to a rectangle panel.  I love this construction!!  The circle skirt portion drapes beautifully around the hips and flares just a little, and the rectangle panel makes it a maxi-length skirt.  And because the knit fabric won’t fray, this is actually a fairly simple skirt to put together.  Go to Happy Together to get the tute.

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.
