Tutorial: Patching your jeans

Holes in jeans might be fashionable, but sometimes holes in jeans aren’t good.  Hole-y jeans might not be the look you’re going for, or maybe the holes are not where you want them to be.  Or, like me, you could have a child whose school does not allow the kids to wear jeans with holes in them.  Whatever the reason, holes in jeans can be easily patched.  Melissa from Blank Slate Patterns and Melly Sews shares a tutorial showing how.

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.
