Patterns, Techniques, Articles, Blogs, and other resources to learn how to sew
Kim, AKA The Sassy Crafter, shares a tutorial on her blog showing how you can make your own bobbin holder out of plastic tubing. The tube holds the bobbins snug and keeps the threads from getting a huge tangled up mess. Brilliant!! Get 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.
What a great idea!! I made some today and it works perfectly. Thanks for this tip.
Where did you get your plastic container for the bobbins?
Keri, The plastic container is actually plastic tubing that you can get at the hardware store. –Anne
