Tutorial: How to Sew a Cosmetic Bag - with link to another TUTE !! Here's the tutorial on the first cosmetic bag. Firstly cut out your pattern from the main fabric, interfacing (I used heavy iron on) and lining fabric (optional). As for the pattern, the pieces are as follows: One x rectangle 25cm x 15.5cm with rounded cornersTwo x rectangles 20cm x 3.5cm (these attach to the zipper)Two x squares 7cm (side pieces)Two x 6.5cm x 4cm (tabs) 1/4 inch seam allowances are included I didn't use interfacing on the two side pieces that attach to the zipper but that is just my preference.
Then iron your interfacing to your main fabric Finish the edges on the two rectangles of fabric to go either side of the zipper Then fold the finished edges to the wrong side Then sew these side bits to the zipper, making sure that it is the same width as the two square side pieces (these are a 7cm square) With zipper sewn in: Fold raw edges of end tabs in then fold in half Sew both long edges of the tabs Sew the square side pieces to the zipper part, adding the tabs to the centre.
