NOW I can show you what I was making for my students the other day. Charmed gift bags! Aren't they adorable?
Kim Walus of Bitty Bits and Pieces designed the bags to hold charm packs, and the "recipe" can be found at the Moda Bake Shop HERE. Kim often has great patterns and tutorials on her blog (right now she has a couple posts that demonstrate how to make cute crocheted flowers and covered button centers). For these bags, I just used fabrics pulled from my stash--four fat quarters will yield three of these cute little bags. All of the bags were made with the same floral for the outside, but I made the linings, handles, and pleated edges from several different coordinated fabrics.
I thought these bags, which hold charm packs nicely, fit well with the Schnibbles/pre-cuts theme of the class as did the "nibbles" I put in the bags. You might want to make up a couple of these to hold graduation gifts or summer vacation goodies. Or bridal shower gifts--after all, it's getting to be that time of the year. Isn't it crazy how quickly the year is flying by? I hope you're enjoying your weekend!
They are awesome! Is that a Mary Engelbreit flower print on the outside?
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I like how all the bags have the flower print and then you changed up the other fabrics. Unifies them so nicely.
ReplyDeletecute cute cute! the ideas are already swirling around in my head :)
ReplyDeleteHow very cute! Love the fabric you used.
ReplyDeleteVery cute, indeed. I'm going to take a class just to get all the goodies. LOL
ReplyDeleteThose really are cute bags. You spoil your students. That's probably why they come back.
ReplyDeleteYet another reason why I'm sad that I don't live closer! That black outer fabric - would you happen to remember the name of it?? I LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! They are adorable!~ I thought of Mary Engelbreit right away too, ~such a cheery print! I wish I lived close enough to take a class from you! ;-)
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I want to take a class with you too, it would be a blast.
ReplyDeleteYou're right - they are too darn cute! I think I'll make a few to use as gift bags. Thanks for a great idea.
ReplyDeleteLove 'em, Kim! Really sweet bags!
ReplyDeleteThey are so cute. Now I have to get busy and make a couple. You are right, great for small gifts. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteYour bags are even cuter than the ones I have seen! Love the fabrics, you are a wonderful teacher... I had never even thought of a "gift" for a student!
ReplyDeleteKim! These were the sweetest treats - you know how we women love our "gift with purchase". I had a great time at the class on Saturday - you are a patient, laid back and knowlegable teacher. The little bags were indeed "charming."
ReplyDeleteI managed to get all my tiny squares made this weekend and now need to bring them together as one!
Cheers!
Just darling!
