Kiss and Make-up



Hot off the machine: 4 extra-roomy makeup bags. Can I get away with calling them cosmetic cozies? All are made out of the embroidered denim fabric I have been dying to use. Zippers to me are like a knock-out pair of shoes: you want to get them noticed not blend into the scenery. So, of course, nothing but vivid colors would do for these bags. They also have a tab on either side of the zip, making it a cinch to open and close.


Inside I put a cotton print. I was sure to seal in all the seams- I personally hate looking at frayed edges or flaps of fabric. To me it's the little finishing touches that make it just right. It took a few solid hours of hand sewing, but don't think it was drudgery. I also managed to sigh my way through 3 chick-flicks and massive amounts of hot tea at the same time. "Me time" just doesn't get better than that!


I love the two handle look. The flush one can be used to attach to luggage (just slide over your pull-up handle or through the attached straps), the loop can be worn around your wrist, and both can be used to hang on coat hooks.



You can see more pictures, or pick one up for yourself in my shop. Oh, and as a special treat for my readers: buy one or more of these four make-up bags and get free shipping! International included! The offer will be extended to your entire order (in case you want to pick up anything else while you are there) and is valid from now all the way through Valentine's Day!

All you have to do is put the phrase "I saw it on momfetti.com" in the "message to seller" box or convo me with the same phrase as the subject line. I will either give you a refund (if you have already paid), or re-invoice you. It's that easy!

These look so beautifully made - and so nicely finished.
