Tutorial: Make Mommy Happy 30 Minute Dress

by

Donya from Keeps Me In Stitches shows how she made this t-shirt dress in just 30 minutes.  She calls it her Make Mommy Happy Dress and it’s made from an old t-shirt (bodice) and some knit yardage (skirt).  You can see from the photo that she’s wearing this as a maternity dress, but this style isn’t limited to just those 9 months.  This is such a versatile dress idea!  You can change up the look by using a different t-shirt style for the top or varying the length of the skirt.  Get the tutorial.

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.
