These bags have so many purposes: projects, jewelry holders, shoe bags, make up containers...you name it.
When traveling, stashing makeup and personal items keeps the clutter at bay, especially if you find yourself being a companion to another sharing a bathroom. One bag can hold lipsticks and eye makeup, another used for shower items, while a separate one can contain curling irons and gels. Just remember the color of your bag for certain items, and you can dress and be ready for the day in a flash.
An easy pattern can be found for making these bags at the same site where the above picture was located. Go here for complete instructions.
Here are my fabric choices and what I am sewing on today. One larger bag, the ladybug material, will make a large project bag with dimensions of 16" x 11".
Two smaller bags will be made from fat quarters purchased for $1.50 each. How inexpensive is that?
The batty bats are my favorite! Brown grosgrain ribbon will tie up this one.
You are so fun, Nancy. Those fabric choices are cute. Great idea to store clutter away.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I will have to try that! I love separating my little things into bags when traveling:) Have a blessed day my friend, HUGS!
ReplyDeleteI `m going to sew a bunch of these bags for my son and daughter in law. They do lots of camping and these bags will be great for traveling, just as you said. I can`t wait to get started! Thanks a bunch for the link.
ReplyDeleteI love those bats, too! I love to sew by hand but am a bit of a scardy-cat with the sewing machine. I need to get going with it again, clearly!
