Tutorial: Turning & pressing narrow tubes of fabric

Turning a long narrow tube of fabric right side out can be a lesson in frustration.  It doesn’t have to be.  Sew4Home shares a tutorial showing how you can turn and press those narrow tubes like a pro.  Instead of using a loop turner, they use a pair of hemostats.  The long narrow scissor-like tool can reach down into the tube and pull the fabric right side out.  Their tutorial shows how they do it, and also how they make quick work of pressing the tubes flat.

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.
