Just a few bags

I have not been idle while my daughter and little grandsons were here. I had to snatch time where I could so that I could sew a few bags that my daughter requested to hold various items for her trip home.


This is a little drawstring bag to hold a bunch of little animal figurines that Luc has. They help to keep him occupied on the long flight home. Approximate size of the bag is 5" X 7".

This little bag was made to hold diapers, sanitary wipes, cream and a change pad.

Ikea fabric was purchased because it was a nice weight for a little bag (and it was on sale.) This one holds a change of clothes for each of the little boys - just in case.

Both of these little zipper bags started off as 12" X 12.5" rectangles and I used a 1/4 inch seam allowance. Handy little bags to keep things organized in a backpack.

I am linking up with The Needle and Thread Network and Esther's blog.
Go check out what others have been working on this week.

  6. It is quite satisfying making little bags isn't it? I'm making lots at the moment as the project I am working with needs an ongoing supply for kids going into crisis care.This group is very close to where I live, and I'll be dropping off my first dozen bags today, plus some extra bits and pieces.
