Patterns, Techniques, Articles, Blogs, and other resources to learn how to sew
Allie from Freshly Completed made this baby view mirror for her car for just $1 in supplies. The dollar bought the mirror, and she raided her fabric & notions stash for the rest. She shares a tutorial showing how she made it. Go to her blog for the how-to.

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.
This is not made from an unbreakable mirror which means that (God forbid) if you get into an accident it can break and cut up baby’s face! Bad idea to scrimp on things that cause safety issues!
This is cool. A backseat mirror that cost $1. Very interesting. Thanks!
Awesome! Thanks for this. Got an idea on what to buy as a gift for my newly wed friends.
like the idea but its unsafe to use actual mirror(glass) as it can shatter and hurt the baby or other passenger in case of accident …. use acrylic glass instead or I bought reflective tray instead from dollar store….
