Tutorial: Ruffle hem sweater

Autumn from It’s Always Autumn shows an easy way to update the style of a sweater.  She added a lightweight ruffle hem to it.  She added it to a raglan sleeve sweater that she made, but this could also be an easy update to a sweater you already have.  It gives a lighter airier look to what is often a heavy garment, and it also adds an extra bit of length if the sweater has grown too short.

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.
