30+ Makeup Bags & Rolls To Make: {Free Tutorials}
Makeup bags are ideal to give as gifts and they’re quite handy for more than just cosmetics. I took my time selecting these free patterns and tutorials, making sure there’s a nice mix of everything: Some simple, some zipped, some larger, some small. There are a few crocheted and knitted but the bulk of them are sewn. For a treat I also included a few brush rolls at the bottom.

I JUST LUV ALL THE STUFF U HAVE.IAM GOING TO TRY MOST OF THEM.THE IDEAS ARE SO WONDERFULL I CANT RESIST MYSELFtanks again
Just wanted to let you know that the **admin edit** site is a bad link; when I click on it, I got a big security warning that it contains malware and will cause trouble if I go there using that link. So you might want to remove this one or let the owner know their site has possibly been hacked recently.
Thanks for all the tips and good ideas…as always.
**From Tipnut: Thanks very much for the heads up Debra, I checked that site and it has been hacked so I’ve removed all listings that referenced it. I appreciate that you took the time to let me know, thank you
Can hardly wait to make some of these for my self and as gifts
These are lovely ideas – I can’t wait to have a go at some of them.
I printed out the instructions for the envelope style makeup bag tutorial, however, there is no sizes offered and I do not know what size to make,the pattern. Does anyone know?
Loved your envelope style bag, BUT before I begin, you give measurements of
10″ widening to 12″ on the bottom for the bag body, and then 10″ wide for the envelope top, but no measurement for the height of bag body or the envelope top. Thanks for the great projects!
