Patterns, Techniques, Articles, Blogs, and other resources to learn how to sew
Sarah from Sew Is Me created a special cushion for her young daughter to sit on while reading her books, and she shares a tutorial showing how she did it. It includes a handle on one side so she can carry it easily from one favorite reading spot to another. This is such a sweet gift for her daughter, and a lovely way to encourage her reading!

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.
