Tutorial: Lengthen a t-shirt with a color block stripe

It’s amazing what havoc a growth spurt wreak on your child’s wardrobe.  One week everything fits, the next… not so much. Kim from The Sew Spot shares a tutorial at Make It and Love It shows one way you can eke out a little more wear out of a t-shirt that has grown too short.  She does a little color blocking magic to add some extra length to 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.
