Patterns, Techniques, Articles, Blogs, and other resources to learn how to sew
Kathleen from Grosgrain and The Tumtum Tree shares a video tutorial showing how to use a button foot to stitch buttons down using your sewing machine. I recently started sewing my buttons down this way, and now that I know how much faster it is to do by machine I can’t imagine stitching them down by hand. Go to the video tutorial.

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.
Thank you for that because I had no idea how to do it. Now I will be able to sew butons on a lot faster.
