I made a couple of little bags last week. For me! The one above is perfect for face creams and make up, or perhaps all your makeup brushes. I know when I travel, I prefer to keep my brushes separate from everything else. Hmmm, I believe I should make one more…
On the blog In Color Order, there is a super tutorial, if you are interested in making one of these bags for yourself. And if you can't quite get it just by looking at the tutorial, Jeni offers a pattern for the bag in a half dozen sizes that you can download for $6.50.
The bags in the photo wer made from fat quarters and a little piece of accent fabric. The fabrics are "Sew Cherry", designed by Lori Holt for Riley Blake. Cute, huh?
And since I gave my previous hair products bag to Mary Ann for her knitting project, I made myself another one of those too. No pattern for this, I just sewed two fat quarters together and made a casing for a drawstring. I like my bags to be lined. They feel more substantial that way.

You really love to make bags! Glad you didn’t get too burned out on them last year. You do great handwork and they turn out sew cute!

I took the original post down and republished it. That seemed to fix things. Thanks.
I like my bags lined too. I want to see pretty when I open the bag…not selvages! ;p
You & those bags! oh, wait! That’s me, too! Nothing cuter than a fun new bag! Thanks for the pattern/tutorial info! I’m off to do my ‘research!’
ADORABLE!! Love those fabrics, Lori has some real cuties in all her lines! I will definitely have to take a look and make a few for my girls…well… and me too! 🙂
