Tutorial: Twisted twine from your scrap fabrics

I am a sucker for fabric scraps!  But there’s no way you’d ever be able to sew up every single fabric scrap in your stash, either because there’s not enough time for that much sewing or become some scraps just aren’t that pretty.  Petro from Creative Homemaking shows how you can twist your fabric scraps into colorful twine.  What would you use the twine for?  I’m thinking gift wrap, or just wrapped around spools and displayed.

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.
