20 Minute Makeup Bag Sewing Tutorial

This 20 minute makeup bag is the perfect project for teens, tweens or those learning to sew. Made using two fat quarters, this bag closes using a snap or velcro instead of a zipper that you see in so many makeup bags. This sweet little bag could have a multitude of uses from a makeup bag to a travel bag to an adorable little clutch. This project sews up very quickly and makes a lovely handmade gift idea perfect for Christmas, birthdays, teacher gifts or bridesmaid gifts!

The chosen fabric is really cheery and the tutorial looks easy. I know a couple of young ladies who would love to have one of these. I also like that is uses a snap to close instead of a zipper.
