Tutorial: Super easy knit fabric poncho
Cat from Mary Martha Mama shows how you can make this poncho from knit fabric. It’s super easy to make – just one seam and no edges to finish! It’s a great layering piece to wear on a cool spring morning. You can also use a lightweight woven fabric for this project, but you’ll have to finish the edges for that.

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.
