Supplies

Two coordinating fabric (one is preferably upholstery weight)
Zipper
Coordinating thread
Pins
Sewing Machine
Scissors
Ruler

Step 1

Cut two pieces from each fabric of your choice, with each piece measuring 5 ½ x 9 ½ inches.

Step 2

Lay one of the outer fabric pieces face up on your table. Place the zipper on top, face down, aligning the top edge of the zipper with the top edge of the fabric. Next, take one of your lining pieces and lay it right side down, ensuring it also meets the top edge of the zipper.

Step 3

Pin along the top edge so that all three pieces—the outer fabric, zipper, and lining—are securely attached.

Step 4

Baste the pinned pieces together using needle and thread, then sew along the top edge with your zipper foot. Once you’ve sewn it, flip the outer fabric so it’s on the outside, right side up.

Step 5

Now place the second lining fabric right side up on your table, then sandwich the pieces you just sewed in between, and finishing with the second outer piece right side down on top.

Step 6

Pin, baste, and sew along the top edge with your zipper foot, just as you did for the other side.

Step 7

After sewing, iron the outer pieces flat. Then, fold them together so that the outer pieces are right sides together, with the lining pieces sandwiching them in between.

Step 8

Pin at the opposite side of the zipper and sew along the bottom edge, securing all the layers together.

Step 9

Move the zipper to the middle and unzip it halfway. Sew along the two sides, making sure to sew through the zipper; pinch the zipper together while you’re sewing to ensure a smooth finish.

Step 10

Pinch each edge in and use your ruler to measure 2 ½ inches across.

Step 11

Mark the line with a pen, then pin next to it. Sew along the marked line, and once done, snip off the triangle ends. Repeat this process for all four sides.

Step 12

Fold the bag inside out so that the outer pieces are on top, and you’re all done! Enjoy your new mini boxy makeup bag!
