Tutorial: Vintage circle skirt with accessories

Catherine from Frisky Scissors shares a free pattern at the Pattern Patter blog for making a circle skirt with coordinating accessories from 2 yards of fabric.  It’s a vintage pattern pamphlet.  If you use felt as the pamphlet suggests, go for a high quality felt so it will stand up to wear.  You could also use a heavy ponte knit or woven fabric with body, though you’d need to  hem the bottom if you use a fabric that frays.  The pamphlet also tells how to make coordinating accessories using the scraps, including large patch pockets for the skirt, removable collar and cuffs, a drawstring pouch, a button tie, and a headscarf.

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.
