Trisch is a beautiful cosmetic bag with a zipper and stylish panels. At the same time, it is also perfect for beginners: the illustrated sewing instructions describe every step in detail.
And the panels are really easy to sew. This is ensured by the many tips and explanations in the instructions. We came up with something very special for the panels: the proportions are based on the Golden Ratio. This is a clever technique that the old masters used to design their paintings and which ensures a balanced composition.
For this bag, this means: the panels look perfect in every variation. You are completely free to play with materials and colors here. And no matter how bold the mix is – the bag always looks gorgeous.
My tip: Be sure to check out my cute pattern hack for a cat-shaped cosmetic bag. You can use the Trisch bag as a base for this. :)
