Stitch Lab Pattern Friday – Stitched in Color Makeup Roll

Project: Stitched in Color Makeup Roll – Downloadable Pattern

Dimensions: 13.5″ wide and 13″ tall with flap open. 8.5″ long when rolled.

Sewist: Melissa

Melissa used Amy Butler Lark – Quilting Cotton and Robert Kaufman Essex Linen Natural

Melissa loved the options for customizing this pattern – a blank space to get creative. The pattern provides pocket options to fit a variety of needs. She personalized the Makeup Roll by piecing both the back and pockets. She suggests applique as another way to show your style.

The pieced pockets look darling but Melissa found it added too much bulk when trying to make pleats. She also plans to line the pockets in the future, a method she likes in place of 1/4 inch seams.

Once the pockets were complete the project came together quickly.

Ready to wrap and put under the tree, Melissa’s Makeup Roll is a wonderful gift.

After the Holidays Melissa plans to make a Makeup Roll for herself. Perfect for storage and travel!
