Tutorial: Mod shift swim cover up

You can make a mod shift swim cover up out of two towels.  Catherine from Frisky Scissors shares a vintage project sheet from Martex towels telling how to do it. They’re made like a pillowcase dress, but out of absorbent terry cloth instead of a lightweight fabric.  If you use towels that have fringe at the ends, that’ll end up as a cool hem detail. The measurements they give will make one in a teen or adult size, but you could easily adjust to make one in girls sizes, too.

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.
