  1. I love your patterns, they are very creative! I was wondering if I could get a copy of the petals for the scrappy flower. Also for the middle too. I am a beginner and I need all the help I can get. I want to make each of the dresses I make very special! Your tutorial is very clear and I like the step by step direction. Thank-you!

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.
