I’m So Fancy, Make Up Bag Pattern

"I'm so Fancy" Make Up bag sewing pattern with free printable!  This project was met by hysterical laughs from my 18 year old daughter today when I told her to go get me some “fancy” stuff to put in the make up bag.  “Mom, why do you know this song?” she asked in between gasps for air.  Apparently I’m just REALLY old to her. "I'm so Fancy" Make Up bag sewing pattern with free printable! But if you’ve turned on a radio at all this summer I’m sure you’ve heard this song playing over and over again.

  1. So….how much would you charge me for you to make it and send me one?! 🙂 I don’t sew, nor do I have access to a seeing machine to learn. But in all honesty – I’d rather just pay for someone else to do it! 🙂

  2. Hi, Melissa! This is adorable! I tried making a bag this weekend and it’s….wonky. The body is fine, but the zipper part is not. 🙂 I think I know where I messed up, so can you clarify what you mean by, “Press the zipper seams towards the lining pieces,” please? Do you kind of fold the zipper in half (lengthwise) and make sure both long edges are pointing toward the lining?

    Sorry if these are elementary questions, but if you saw the bag I made this weekend, you might understand. LOL Thank you!
