Video tutorial: How to make a jumbo tulle bow

July 20, 2015 by Anne Weaver

I think every crafter or sewist has at least one partial roll of tulle in their stash, left over from making a knotted wreath or tutu. I’ve got 6 such rolls and I haven’t made a tutu in probably 4 years. The Ribbon Retreat shows how you can use that tulle to make these jumbo tulle bows. Or, if you don’t have exactly the right color in your craft stash, there’s nothing wrong with going and buying a roll. You can make quite a few bows out of just one roll. They’re so pretty and so easy to make! I think you’ll have a hard time stopping at just one. You could make them up in school or team colors. If you don’t want to wear them as hair accessories, they’d be cute as gift wrap accents.

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.
