For the LOVE of Make-up...

What girl doesn't love an adorable make-up bag
{or really any kind of bag, satchel, tote, carry-all, etc.}

I know I do!
When I came across my friend Suzanne's blog A New Creation
and saw her awesome tutorial for a cute "boxy" pouch,
I wanted to make one asap!
{but since she is so sweet, she beat me to it and gave me one as a birthday gift!}

So I decided to try my hand at making one a little bigger
to use as a make-up bag!

Update: Now available in my Etsy Shop

Make-up Happy,
Erica

  12. Okay, that's simply too cute and too cool! You really made it look easy. I'm such a sewing novice that the mere mention of a zipper always sends me running in the other direction, but not this time! I'm giving this a try! Thank you!
