Patterns, Techniques, Articles, Blogs, and other resources to learn how to sew
Ginger Hendrix from Wiener Dog Tricks shares a tutorial showing how to make her Super Scrappy + Super Quick Little Girl Pouchy Purse. This is such a cute, cute little bag!
And don’t let that button flap pocket on the front fool you – this is actually a really quick little project. The pocket is repurposed from an old polyester shirt. Brilliant AND cute!
Read her blog post about her project here. Or, go straight to the tutorial to find out how to make one.

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.
