Makeup Bag, Random Design


I realize that, sewing wise, I have not been very original.

Meaning, despite all the knowledge I've gathered about the craft, I always turn to sewing patterns designed by someone else to create. Mainly due to the fact that I find it a hassle to calculate measurements, draft patterns etc. It's easier to just print out a pdf pattern or trace off the size I wanted and follow a tutorial and sew.

But once in awhile, I itch for a certain design and I just could not find similar one in my patterns/craft books stash. So I decided to just totally wing it and just pray that it will turn out okay.

This makeup bag is exactly the result of that. Totally winged it, LOVE the result.
The main print is a really gorgeous Patricia Bravo design. I love the retro mod vibe and the teal shade is so delicious. The top band is my staple print from Amy Butler.

Very roomy, boxy design, no pocket with zipper top. Perfect for storing makeup, facial care products etc. This now belongs to the bubbly Finaz's sister. Hope she likes it.

Okies off to lunch, bye! :)

p/s: I want bigger photos on my blog. What do you think? Are they disturbingly HUGE? :D

  9. That's a lovely make up bag. I'm the opposite with ready made patterns. I collect and collect patterns which I would love to sew, but then get really lazy and digging them out and tracing and following all the instructions. With many things (well, I don't really make many things...)I just lay out the fabric and cut and fold and change and pin.... as i go along. Maybe I would make more things if I hade the patterns organised and at hand...
    Anyway, that looks beautiful and the fabric choice is bold and perfect! Yes, BIG photos are good!
