Tutorial: Soft taggy rattle for baby

by

Emily from The Polka-Dot Umbrella shows how to make a soft baby rattle.  It’s part of their Baby Week series of posts.  The tags around the head of the soft toy are fun for baby to grab, while a bell in the insides will make a sound when baby shakes the rattle.  (For those concerned about the safety of inserting a bell into a baby’s toy, see this post from Softie Making Resources for some tips.)  Get the tutorial to find out how to make this cute rattle toy.

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.
