I was in a wedding this past weekend and I needed a way to take my makeup brushes with me. I didn't want to lug around two extra makeup bags full of brushes so I got an idea. I'll make a travel case! I'll show you how I made mine.
Things you'll need:
Fabric (I used two patterns)
Matching thread
Sewing machine
Scissors
Ruler
Fabric pen or chalk
Ribbon
Iron & Ironing Board
Cut one piece of fabric 7"x15". Cut two pieces of fabric 13.5"x15".
Take the 7"x15" piece, fold the top down (toward the back) 2" and iron.
Turn the piece so the right side of the fabric is up. Mark where you want your pockets to be, 2.5"-1" works well.
Place your 7"x15" piece on top of a 13.5"x15" piece, pin in place.
Sew seams straight down to create your pockets.
After all of the pockets are sewn, place the other 13.5"x15" piece, right sides, together with your pocket piece.
Cut two pieces of ribbon 18" long and pin in place.
Sew along all sides making sure to leave about 2" open on the top.
Turn your roll right side out and iron.
Top stitch around the entire roll.
Arrange your brushes in the roll and you're done!
I hope this wasn't too confusing to follow. If it was just let me know and I'll make one for you so you don't have to follow my lame directions at all!
Happy Monday!
