Tutorial: Sew an easy fabric doorstop

If you’ve ever lived in an older home, you probably had at least one door that wouldn’t stay open.  My mother’s 1920s home has several of them!  The foundation has settled and gravity just does its things on the doors.  Stephanie from Swoodson Says shows how you can make an easy fabric doorstop that will keep those doors open.  You can make it from a home dec weight fabric and it takes just a few straight seams.

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.
