The Clover Cosmetic or Toiletry Bag – Sew and Sell!

The Clover bag pattern is for a very small yet super sweet cosmetics bag. The Clover bag interior is fully lined with no seams to bind. At each side of Clover is a small box pleat for some visual interest. A tab at each end of the zipper gives you something to grab while opening and closing the zipper. Clover is a deluxe storage bag for toiletries, or a handbag for a little girl.

Sewing Skill Level: Intermediate – You are comfortable with sewing, and have the patience to either learn to install a zipper, or learn a zipper installation technique that might be new to you.
