Patterns, Techniques, Articles, Blogs, and other resources to learn how to sew
Care from Obsessively Stitching shares a two-part tutorial for making fabric storage cubes. Be still my heart! I love me some practical storage, but my knees get weak when it gets combined with pretty fabric prints.
Part 1 covers the basic assembly, and Part 2 tells how to apply the binding.

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.
