Be You Makeup Caddy

Introducing the Be You Makeup Caddy by Andrie Designs! Originally designed in 2025 as a heartfelt nod to a dear friend who loves looking and feeling her best, this pattern is a little celebration of confidence, creativity, and being unapologetically you.

Designed to be dual purpose, it is a secure and fully enclosed bag when packed away for transport. Once at your destination, use the caddy to organise your items for quick and easy access.

From makeup to medical supplies, crafting equipment and resources for art projects, the caddy is perfect for carrying more than just makeup! Featuring elastic loops and a zipper pocket, and available in two sizes, the Be You Makeup Caddy will quickly become your go-to for storage while at home AND away!

The Be You Makeup Caddy is a quick and easy sew, perfect for those who prefer straight seams and a tidy, professional finish (there are NO curves or binding in this pattern).

This pattern comes with two files – the pattern instructions/pieced pattern pages, and a large print pattern pieces file suitable for printing at your local print shop on the correct sized paper. It has 13 pages of clear, detailed instructions. It is suitable for an advanced beginner sewer. All pattern pieces have been digitally drawn. Wary of zippers? Don’t be! Throughout the pattern I give detailed and comprehensive instructions, diagrams and links to our complementary video tutorials to make adding the zippers an easy and stress-free experience.
