So I got an idea from another person on this board to do these for christmas gifts. They're so super easy to do!!! Takes me about half an hour from start to finish. They're grocery sack holders. They're about 9''X18'' and super easy to do!

What do you think?

Great Job ! They will love them :mrgreen:

They are cute that is what i did for my Christmas present, I started inApril making them i also made some table runners to match. I hope they enjoy them. The reason i made them is because they liked mine that is in my kitchen here is a couple of mine the red one is mine

Very cool!

Those are wonderful Christmas gifts!!! Very Pretty :D:D:D

Yes! Those are the pattern I used to make mine! You're the one who gave me the idea! LOL THANKS!

What a great idea for a gift!1

I do not know how to do a Tut i hope this help.

The squared are 5 inch i did 6 across and 6 down, sandwich it with a thin batting and a backing i used muslin do a stitch in the ditch around each square then make a casing at the top and bottom one for elastic and one for tie string. Put the elastic in first, tighten it to your satisfaction, then sew the bag together.sew the elastic casing close and go to the top the casing for the tie do not sew the casing closed, stop before you get to the casing , then make a long tie and feed it through the other end you made a garbage bag dispenser.

That's a great gift idea.

is there a tute to make these? what an awesome idea

I found this site which tute: http://saidosdaconcha.blogspot.com/2...y-carrier.html

That tutorial is slightly different than how I made mine. My squares are 3.5'' square. 18 of each color. I sewed them all together to form a 18'' square peice. I then right sides together sewed it closed to form a tube. Turned right side out and ironed. Then folded over a 1/4 inch amount on the bottom, and installed the elastic. Folded the same over on the top, stitched it down. Insterted my hanging material (like I would a drawstring in sweatpants) and then folded it over double to hold it tight.

I can get more detailed and do some pictures if ya'll want!

Those are great gifts...very pretty and usable!

Great job!! There's nothing better than a useful gift to give or receive!!

What wonderful gifts! They'll be well loved and used!

Great gift idea!!

Thanks for the tutes.
