Sew a quick cosmetic bag: Easy-peasy and super pretty

Sew a quick cosmetic bag - it's super easy and lightning fast! It goes without saying that the zippered pouch should also look stunning, of course!

When I first sewed the taco bag, I was totally amazed at how quick and easy it is. In one or two places, I even made the instructions a bit simpler.

Sew a quick cosmetic bag: Suitable for beginners

So, it is definitely suitable for beginners as well.

But advanced sewing fans will also have a great time with this quick cosmetic bag.

What you should be able to do (or can practice perfectly with this bag): sewing on bias tape.

I like using my anatomical tweezers^* for this. It makes shaping the bias tape much easier!

I actually always sew the taco bag when I need a quick gift - and it should still be something very special.

Sewing instructions: Video

And don't be afraid of the zipper: it isn't sandwiched between the outer fabric and lining here, but simply topstitched using a zipper foot.

You can also easily sew it with two zipper sliders. I show you how to do that in my sewing video:

If you want to sew the quick cosmetic bag classically with one zipper slider, you can find the instructions for the taco bag here.

Which fabrics and colors are suitable?

I really like the combination of rich denim blue and golden bias tape. The backbone of the bag is formed by a royal blue zipper with golden teeth.

I found a similar denim fabric^* online. The gold glitter bias tape^* is also available on Amazon, as is the beautiful zipper made of metallized plastic.^*

Also totally beautiful with floral patterns:

With a fabric that has a pattern that works in both directions, it's even easier!

The copper-colored zipper^* with wide teeth harmonizes brilliantly with the copper-shiny bias tape.^*

Vintage always works. Especially for cosmetic bags, I think.

Here I combined brown and pink tones with copper and orange.

The result is subtle - I just think the combination is stunning!

The base area of the finished cosmetic bag is approximately 20 x 7 centimeters.

Happy simple sewing,
