Make-Up Bag Set
Make-Up Bag Set – DIY – One Large and one Small which is perfect to carry around in your handbag.
I can not tell you how relieved I am to have finished these two little bags ! I promised my daughter a small make-up bag for her handbag about two weeks ago already.
Started, stopped, did some other stuff and finally finished not only the small make-up bag, but a larger (more of a toiletries bag) one as well.
What a mission ! I am not a seamstress and have very limited knowledge of anything to do with sewing. And I am sure this is actually something easy to do, especially if you follow a pattern or a tutorial.
Unfortunately, I am not one of those clever people – I prefer to look at a picture, once, maybe twice, and then make my own version.
The sewing machine nearly ended up in the swimming pool a couple of times ! If I can just get the thing to work as it is supposed to. (now, this is according to the settings and the booklet which I actually do follow to the letter).
All I can tell you is in the above pic – the order of the layers.
Lining / Interfacing / Top (Outside) Fabric
Other than that … no idea how I finished these two bags ! Lots of very un-lady like words, nipping and tucking, cutting and stitching, ripping and more stitching …. you get the idea!
Tried as I could, the photographs are also not accurate. It is navy blue and white stripes with bright red trimming – although I do not think it looks bad, it’s just not reflecting the right colors.
Make-Up Bag Set
Above is the little bag, or pouch if you prefer, seen from all sides – the button is purely decorative, hence the small strip of Velcro.
And the larger bag.
I did not line the bags with any kind of waterproof lining as I know my daughter would rather chuck it into the washing machine than wiping them clean every now and then.

Great job! You definitely did it the hard way, without a pattern so kudos to you! Patterns are so much easier to follow. I love the stripes against the pink. really pops! Visiting from Mellywood's Mansion! Cheers
These are awesome! I'm attempting to make my own also, as gifts.

Very nice!!
These turned out good! I am the same way as you, no patterns. Then I get annoyed when the first and second, and maybe even more don't turn out! Oh but when it does turn out it is a great feeling! Great work! I saw you on funky junk interiors!
