Video tutorial: Sock cat softieSock monkeys are cute, but being a crazy cat lady I tend to think that sock kitties are even cuter.  Professor Pincushion shares a video tutorial showing how you can make one.  You can make him from the traditional brown and white sock monkey socks, or go crazy with stripes and fun colors.   Go to Professor Pincushion for the video tutorial.

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.
