Class Title: Seatbelt Cosmetic Duo

Class Duration: 6 hours

Class Description: This sewing pattern will take you step-by-step to create a 2 piece set of cosmetic bags made from seat belt webbing!  Seat belts are shimmery and luxurious, yet durable and easy to clean and sew! The bags are fully lined and close with a zipper. The inward folding end panels allow them to open very wide letting you easily see and grab items inside. When not in use, one fits easily inside the other for storage. Great for cosmetics, computer accessories or, dress up one up with a ring fob and tassel to carry as an evening bag!  Instructions included to make with or without a handle and option to bind the zipper tape or leaving it exposed. 

Skills learned: zipper installation, zipper pull installation (if using zipper by the yard), zipper end hardware installation, binding zipper tape (if making handle option; if desired), working with seatbelts, sew in lined bag

Skill level: Advanced Beginner

Finished sizes (approx.):

Small: 7 3/4 x 6 1/2 x 2 1/4”

Large: 9 3/4 x 7 1/2 x 2 3/4”

Included in the kit: approximately 5.5 yds of seatbelt that I will precut, Cosmetic Duo pattern, and 4 zipper ends (cost is $25).
