Upcycled Jeans Pillow with Leaf Design - Sewing Tutorial

Upcycle some old jeans into a beautiful new pillow for your home! Vicky Myer Creations shows how to make an upcycled jeans pillow with a fall leaf design. She used two pairs of jeans – one with a darker wash, and another with a lighter wash.  If you don’t have the jeans you need to make this project, you can easily find some at a thrift store.

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.
