3) Cosmetics Pouch with Zip
There are hundreds of wonderful tutorials out there and I really struggled to pick just one.
 |
| Open Wide Zipper Pouch Hello Kitty Fabrics |
I settled for these open wide zipper pouches by Noodle head. Us girls always like to cram lots in and rummage around to find things. The wide opening is very clever and the fabrics used here are totally adorable. Open wide zippered pouch tutorial.
4) Drawstring Bag

| Zakka Style Patchwork Drawstring Bag |
Zakka style Patchwork Drawstring Bag tutorial by Patchwork Notes. Tamiko of Patchwork notes made this to keep her cat out of her kitting. For beauty Queens, this is a great choice for anyone who uses hair rollers- they have a habit of rolling away and hiding under the bed. The drawstring is easy to open for very young children and older arthritic fingers. My grandma has a mini one of these hanging from her bed post filled with dried lavender.
5) Fabric Basket- Storage Bin
Cute and romantic roses, gingham and polka dots decorate this very handy fabric basket. All beauty queens need a place for their cosmetics, hair accessories, make-up, dolls and clothing or lego bricks. This easy to follow Fabric Basket Tutorial by St Louis Folk Victorian is a pleasure to make, you will not want to give this away.
6) Fabric Storage Tray

Could not resist a tutorial by lovely Ayumi of Pink Penguin. Her fabric tray Organiser Basket Tutorial showcases the cutest fabric combinations and creates a shallow tray ideal for keeping small items like earrings, lipsticks, nail varnishes and eye pencils all in one place.
