Tutorial: Make a portable ironing board

I have a dedicated sewing space, but even with a room all for sewing I still don’t have space to keep a full size ironing board up all the time.  Becky from Patchwork Posse shows how you can make a portable ironing board.  It’s smaller than a standard ironing board and the dimensions are better suited to pressing sewing projects.  Plus, it’s easy to put up – just put it on top of any flat surface.  And when you’re done, you can slide it behind a door or bookshelf to store it out of the  way.

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.
