For the giveaway of an ebook copy of Big City Bags last week, I asked people to tell me the strangest thing found in the bottom of a bag.  I’m always amazed at the weirdness that lurks at the bottom of my own bag!

Grandma G, who said…. “Money! Ha!”

And since I asked you guys to tell me the strangest thing in the bottom of your bag, I suppose I should tell you some of mine.  When my daughter was younger, I’d often find rocks and crunched leaves in the bottom of my bag.  These were treasures that she’d find at a park and insist on bringing home with us.  Just last week, I found her tween-sized sports bra in the bottom of my bag.  She wore it a while back when we were out shopping for new shirts and decided that it was uncomfortable and handed it to me in a dressing room.  And of course I stashed it in my bag and promptly forgot about it.  Ha!

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.
