I
noticed while I was packing my stuff that all of the make-up bags I own are
absolutely ridden with the leftovers of make-up past. I tried washing them, but the stains
remained. It made me think, “Maybe I
need a new make-up bag.” Which led me to
then think “I need a make-up bag I can clean and keep pretty-looking.”
While
on Pinterest (of course) I came across a tutorial for a box-bag. I thought it would make the most wonderful
makeup bag. Now to solve the next
problem, how to make it easily cleaned.
While I was looking through clearance fabric, I spotted some iron-on
vinyl. A yard of the stuff was $3. Let me tell you, this stuff is magic! It irons on beautifully and creates an easily
cleaned fabric that’s so much more adorable than the oil cloth they sell by the
yard. For me, a makeup bag that looks
like it was made out of a picnic table cloth is just not appealing.
Now,
on to the good stuff. I liked the
tutorial I used, but I did tweak it a little.
Obviously I ironed the
vinyl onto the fabric for the inner lining in order to keep it stain-free.
I copied the tutorial exactly for the zipper
attachment.
I found it easier to use the
method I used for both the sewing machine cover and the basket liner to make the
bag itself. You can reference either of
those if you would like, or you can copy the tutorial I referenced above.
I have plans to make a
make-up brush holder and roll that coordinates with the fabric I used to make
the bag itself. Keep an eye out for the upcoming
tutorial!
