Cosmetic Bags

While I was on vacation, I was shopping with my sister-in-law and checking out a quilting store.  She saw a little make-up bag and said that she wanted something like that to keep my niece's food in.  I told her to pick out some fabric and I would make something for her.
 I love the fabric she chose.  This a not a great picture, but they are great bright colors.

Before I even got home from vacation, I started looking for a tutorial.  I found a great one at Sew Like My Mom.  I was a little nervous because this would be my first zipper.  The tutorial is easy to follow and I love the way it turned out.  I forgot to take a picture before I gave it to her, but I loved it so much I made one for my self.


This one turned out great. The fabric is one that I picked up on vacation.  It will be the perfect size to carry all of my toiletries for traveling.  I loved it so much I decided to try to make a smaller one for my make-up.


I love the way it turned out.  I reduced all of the measurements by 3 inches and it is the perfect size.  I got them both finished just in time for our trip to Napa.  It put a smile on my face every time I saw them sitting on the bathroom counter.
