The Reno Rounded Makeup Bag is a super cute little zipper pouch with a distinctive rounded shape and a surprisingly roomy interior. Designed as a makeup bag but useful for so much more, Reno is perfect for cosmetics, toiletries, sewing supplies, pencils or all those little things that somehow need a home. ❤️
The zipper opens completely at the top of the bag, allowing Reno to stand open on its own so you can easily see and reach everything inside. The fully lined interior gives it a beautifully finished look, while the compact size makes it perfect for travelling or popping into a larger bag.
Reno is also a wonderful scrap-busting project and a fun way to use smaller pieces of your favourite fabrics. And because it's both practical and adorable, it makes a fantastic handmade gift - although you may find yourself making "just one more" in another fabric. 😂
The PDF sewing pattern includes both inch and centimeter measurements, detailed step-by-step instructions and lots of photos to guide you through the construction.
SKILL LEVEL
Advanced
The Reno Rounded Makeup Bag is best suited to an experienced bag maker who is comfortable sewing curves. The rounded sides are the trickiest part of the construction and require a little patience and careful sewing to achieve a smooth finish.
There's nothing particularly complicated about the individual techniques used in the pattern, but the tight curves make Reno a more challenging sew than her cute little appearance might suggest. ❤️
