Lalaland what kind of bags are you doing for the troops .Would you please post pictures.Thanks Sandy :-D (sandy mac)
Well phooey, you would ask me that question after I have already mailed them off and I didn't take any pictures. They are the Am. Sewing Guild's 2010 charity project. You can find the pattern by searching for U.S. Troops Drawstring Bag. They are filled with toiletries and sent to the troops, who then give the bags to local kids when they return home to the states. To make mine unique I embroidered stuff on them like Peanuts characters, John Deere Tractors, mermaids, giraffes, koi, whatever struck my fancy. Now I'm kicking myself for not taking at least one picture.
