Amy from The Fabric Bar posts on her blog about the organization system she developed for her sewing patterns.  It fits on a shelf, takes up little space, and is easy to access.  In addition, it makes use of inexpensive or recycled materials.  Want to know more?  Read about it at her blog.

  2. Hi Anne, it looks like the link above is broken now. Its too bad, it was a really great article. Sad to see it go. Do you know if it is archived somewhere?

    • Morgan, I searched around and couldn’t find an archive or an alternate site, so sadly I think this link is just gone. I agree – it really was a great article. –Anne

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.
