Rolling in Makeup

So I’ve been traveling a lot lately and decided I didn’t have a good way to tote all my makeup around. A few months ago I made a new makeup bag with a plastic lining which I’ve been using but I don’t like bringing my brushes in it because they just roll around with everything else. So I wanted to make a brush case that I could throw in the makeup bag so they had some protection. I also wanted a case for my eyeliners because I like to bring several in different colors but I’m always having to dig in my bag for the right one.

Scraps to Sewing Tools

These two little projects came from wanting to do something but not something too difficult or time consuming. Project one is a simple mason jar pin cushion, and the second a pin cushion and thread catcher (tutorial). Photos below

Matching Purse, Clutch and Wallet.

So while browsing Pinterest I’ve found some very cute bag tutorials. I decided to make use this tutorial for this bow bag, and this one for the matching bow clutch. Once I was finished I had enough left over fabric to make a matching wallet as well. I’m really proud of the purse and clutch, the wallet is good, but could be better. Overall all I love them all. I love being able to start with a few pieces of fabrics and end up with something useful. So here are my finished creations.

Make-up Bag… sort of.

So I wanted to make a make-up bag that would fit all my make-up so I decided to follow this tutorial. I found this adorable elephant and started sewing. It’s actually a very easy project, however mine didn’t turn out exactly right. Mine turned out a little too tall and skinny versus short and wide. Oops. It still works but its not quite right. I may try again, but for now here is my elephant make-up bag.
