Tutorial: Zipper heart ornaments

Christie from Lemon Squeezy Home shows how you can make these cute zipper heart ornaments.  They’d be pretty on any tree, but they’re particularly meaningful to someone who has a child with a heart defect.  Christie says, “the reason zipper hearts are frequently used in the heart defect world is because we wish that our kiddos would have an easy in, easy out option, so they are often declared an official member of the “Zipper Club” once they’ve had open heart surgery.”  She made up a bunch of these zipper hearts to give to families staying in the cardiac unit at the hospital where her own daughter had heart surgery a year ago.  Whether you give them to a cardiac surgery family, or just to someone  you love very very much, they’re pretty ornaments and easy to make.

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.
