Make-Up Purse

via to-sew-with-love.com

We all liked being able to have our purse more like a diaper bag and purse fused into one organized and being able to find things just by looking for the organizer. Inside, we have put cosmetics, a highlighter, a pen, a contact cards holder, a small memo pad, a small telephone book, a pack of tissue, a pack of mint candy, a spare ponytail catcher, a lip balm and the keys. Perfect choice for every girl!

Interesting Pillow Covers

These step by step directions are designed to save you the expense of new pillows. The envelop design of these pillow covers make them removable “slip covers” for your throw pillows. Always preshrink your fabric so that your finished pillow covers are washable. The cutting directions do not add a seam allowance so that the finished pillow cover is a little smaller than the form and creates a “plump” pillow with no empty space.

This super easy to sew skirt is 2 pieces, front and back, cut on the bias. The waistband is FOE (fold over elastic) and the hem is rolled with a serger.
