But in the course of the past month's events in my personal life (involving one of my closest friends in SF moving away) I decided to finally get up and do one of these projects as a going away present. There was a time crunch! Maybe I just need deadlines for all of my projects. Then again, I don't want anyone else to move away. So I'll find some other means of motivation...
Read on to see the learning curve on this Mini Boxy Makeup Bag DIY...
Step 1: Cut the fabric (two pieces of each fabric.)
I used oilcloth for the inside and heavier cotton for the outside.
Step 2: Pin to the zipper and sew zipper to all four pieces of fabric.
Steps 3, 4 & 5: Sew the bottom together inside out, then sew the sides through the zipper, and sew & cut the corners according to the tutorial.
My first bag turned out inside out due to a sewing error. My mother is now enjoying it.
Here is the final version (which turned out as I meant it to!):
I love this tutorial! It was a little confusing for me at first, since it took me a few reads to realize (oops) that you need four pieces of fabric not just two. Once I figured that issue out, it was smooth sewing. I definitely plan to make more of these in the future...maybe even for my Etsy shop!
I hope I didn't overlook it but what size zipper did u use?
