I had the pleasure to test a new pattern from Michelle at Uniquely Michelle, The Set To Go Cosmetic Set.
As you can see, this is a two piece set, a pouch and a case. The strap on the pouch can be hooked through the loop on the case so that they can be carried as one. Let's look at each of these pieces individually.
The pouch measures 9 1/2" W x 7"H x 2 1/2" D. With boxed corners, it is plenty roomy. What I really love is the inside. The interior lining is covered with a layer of clear vinyl to make it easy to wipe out when needed and so that you can still see the beautiful lining. There are 2 clear vinyl slip pockets inside as well.
It is hard to see the vinyl, but trust me, it is there. I used a combination from Windham Fabric's Kinetic line, Triangles and Zig Zags in purple. I combined them with a polka dot I had in my stash.
The case is a little smaller and measures 7 3/4" W x 5 3/4" H x 2 1/2" D.
The lining in the case is covered with a layer of clear vinyl. There is only one slip pocket in the interior.
I really love this set. It was fun to make and is so practical with the vinyl layer. Even if you have not sewn with vinyl before, there are tips throughout the pattern that will make it a breeze for you.
If you have never made one of Michelle's patterns, you should know that they are very thorough, concise and easy to follow. They are full of pictures to help you every step of the way. You can get her patterns at her Craftsy page here or on Etsy here.

I'd been wondering if you tested this. :) Beautiful job - I love your fabric choices! I think the vinyl lining is a great idea, especially since the lining fabric still shows.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Candy. I loved using the vinyl. Such a simple step to keep the inside cleaner.
DeleteI haven't used the vinyl layering stuff yet. I love that you could use the lining of your choice since laminates are not plentiful - especially in purple.
ReplyDeleteIt was such a simple thing, too. I love the look of it.
DeleteThanks for testing this pattern Marilyn! Your work is always fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michelle! Another fantastic pattern!
DeleteGorgeous as always...love the fabrics you pick !!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Liz. I fell in love with this fabric line and bought some in turquoise as well.
DeleteNicely done Marilyn!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Daryl. I will definitely use the clear vinyl this way on similar bags.
DeleteThey are gorgeous. Those fabrics make me think of berries. Very practical.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Norma. Colors reminding me of Spring. Finally, the weather is looking more like Spring here, too.
