Patterns, Techniques, Articles, Blogs, and other resources to learn how to sew
Free Spirit Fabrics shares a downloadable PDF tutorial showing how to make this St. Patrick’s Day fabric scrap wreath. Knotted strips of fabric give the wreath its fullness and color. They added in some St. Patrick’s Day themed picks, but you could make this for any holiday or color scheme by just changing out the colors of fabric you use. Go to Free Spirit Fabrics to download the PDF.

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.
