These are make-up pouches I began making right before last Christmas. I gave several monogrammed ones as gifts. They are quilted and very roomy. They are easy to make using scrap fabrics you have lying around. I actually got this pattern from Colonial Quilts in a class I took after buying my Bernina Serger. This bag can be constructed completely with a serger; no sewing machine required. Although, I use my sewing machine to attach the zipper, then serge the edges for a clean look. The original bag was much smaller and was used to hold all of my serging accessories. But I thought it would be great as a make-up pouch, so I modified it to make it larger. This was the end result. I guess you could use one color fabric, but I kinda like the different colors and prints. It gives the bag a little character, don't ya think? I'll have some posted on my Etsy account soon. I posted some last Christmas, but I ran out and hadn't made anymore until this year.
