I absolutely had to say thank you for the pattern. This was so fun to make and my DIL has already asked me for 2 more!

It would be nice to make them to fit over a plastic container full of cookies - 2 gifts in one.

Thanks to frenchfryqueen for posting a link to the instructions in her thread: http://www.quiltingboard.com/links-r...s-t230949.html

I love these soooo much! Already planning to make these for my co-workers for holiday gifts. I'm going to have fun picking out the fabrics for everyone, specific to their interests!!

Just had to add my thanks for the pattern. I have made a few and will be making Christmas ones to fill with goodies for lots of the elderly in our local nursing home

I used Pellon fusible thinking that, with ironing, it would hold its shape better. I don't think it made much difference so you could use any thin batting and get a good result.

I had no idea when I posted that tutorial, so many people would start making them! I'm absolutely tickled pink to have started a ripple on here. Everyone's looks so pretty. I may have to make more and post them just to keep up with you guys!
