Another Gift Made (Pic Included)

December 3rd, 2011 at 08:57 pm

I made a cosmetic bag last night for my sister in law. She is the one receiving most of the Bath and Body Works gifts.

Here's the cost breakdown:
Zipper (40% off coupon at JoAnn's) $1.05
1/2 yard gray fabic (inside) $1.74
1/2 yard print fabric (outside) $2.44
Ribbon purchased at a garage sale for $0.25

Of course, I didn't even use all the fabric or the ribbon, but if I did it would have cost $5.48. In reality it cost much less.

I did use interfacing to attach to the inside part of the outer fabric to make it stiffer. I already had that and the thread on hand as well.

Here's the picture:

    @Thriftorama, I didn't exactly use a pattern, but there is one
    Text is here and Link is http://sewmamasew.com/blog2/2011/04/sew-spoiled-cosmetic-case-tutorial-free-pdf/
    here that could help you get started. I've made different kinds from different sources, so this is just a combination of ones I've made.

    This bag started out with fabric pieces measuring 6.5in x 9.5in.

    This looks great. You could probably sell these on ebay or etsy.
