Tutorial: Sew up some pretty dish towels

Chris from Made By ChrissieD shows how you can make your own dish towels.  The sewing is all simple straight seams, good for a first sewing project or a quick afternoon project.  She uses some premium toweling fabric from the fabric store, which make sturdy and absorbent towels.  If you can’t find the toweling, you could use a 100% cotton 100% linen to make lighter weight towels.

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.
