I decided to make Trick-or-Trick bags for my two little granddaughters this year. I usually buy them some sort of little tote and fill it with some treats, but this year I got more crafty.
I knew what I wanted them to look like but I didn't really have any idea of how to go about getting them to look like the idea in my head, nor did I have a pattern. I can sew, but I'm not the type that can just make stuff up and have it turn out fabulous without directions. But this was just a bag. How hard can a bag be...right? Well I found out it can be pretty difficult when you go about it the way I did. Trying to piece together different colors and making one color overlap the over--especially when you have never done it before nor have you ever seen it done. But after hours at the sewing machine and a little bit of frustration, I succeeded. The girls will have their bags for Trick-or-Treating.
The first sack I made for my oldest granddaughter. I lined the inside with the glittery purple fabric. The back section is the Halloween printed fabric.
This is the sack I made my younger granddaughter. I lined her's with the orange polka-dot fabric and again the back is from the patterned Halloween piece.
Wowwww these are great bags!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors and the front pattern
We don't celebrate Halloween here but I'd still love to have a bag like these :)
