Video tutorial: How to make a thread chain
Thread chains can be quite handy. You can use them to keep two layers of fabric together but loosely to allow for movement (such as a main fabric and a lining). You can also use them to make nearly invisible belt loops for a dress. Jen from Grainline Studio shares a video tutorial showing how you can make thread chains.

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.
