Tutorial: Pleated throw pillow with belted bow
Sew4Home shows how you can make this pleated pillow with a contrast belt and bow. Made in the pink Paris print they show in their post, it’s romantic and girly. But make it from a natural linen for a shabby chic look. Or, omit the bow for a crisper, more modern feel.

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.
