Small Cosmetic Bag
A while back (at least a year ago) I found this corduroy skirt at Goodwill that was a terrible cut, but had such awesome fabric I had to buy it and take it home. It has been sitting, lonely and forgotten, in my fabric stash. Today I used a piece of it to make this little bag to carry my makeup brushes.
There are a bunch of tutorials to make bags like this. I used this one and this one. They are basically the same, although they have different techniques for the corners. The first one sews the corners and then cuts and the second one cuts and then sews. I decided to cut and then sew, because I wanted to make sure the corners were even.

New Sewing Chair
I desperately need a new chair for when I sew. I've been working hard to crank out new stuff for my shop, but it is killing my lower back. I'm going to have to look into the kind of seats that are out there. Maybe there are chairs specifically for sewing? Any suggestions?
