Wow that's awesome, do you have a pattern you could post or do a tute to help us make one for ourselves/others we quilt with?

When I was a kid, a friend of our family made these for everyone. I loved mine(I didn't use it for sewing but I did love it and used it alot). This would be such a cute idea for a gift, and you could put some needles, thread, scissors, ect...in there too! :)

I made fabric "boxes" and then made fabric wrap bag. Inside the bag I put a box of brown sugar and then tied it closed and put one of those brown sugar bears that soften brown sugar as the tie on the bag and put a brown spatula inside the bag sticking out and put everything inside the "box". My friends loved the gift.
