I been working on some Christmas Presents because of my budget i am making most of them this year these are Garbage Bag Dispensers

Those are cute!!!

I really should make some of those for my house.
I have a TON of plastic grocery bags. We use them for the dreaded cat box.

I like those and they are practical, something people can use :lol:
Not that they don't use the other things we make, but sometimes they are afraid to use them :? Hope that makes sense :roll:

Makes sense to me! :)

Your Christmas projects are
really great!! :D What a nice
idea for gifts. I should make
some, too!!
:D :D :D

I love those bag holders, I've made some for gifts too and everyone liked them.

We just remodeled our kitchen and I was thinking I need on of those, I wish I was on your Christmas list. I have been good most of the year, and I promise I will be good until Christmas. Maybe you could send one to Santa and he could bring it to my house.

Those are all really nice, Jerrie!! :D

Great idea and practical too!

Wonderful!! My sister gave me one like that. I love it. What a nice way to give of yourself and not break the bank.

Those are not only cute, but very practical! Way to go! :D

I like those Jerrie and I should make some. Love you choice of fabrics.

Those look wonderful. Very thoughtful and practical. Great presents.

Those are great!

Great presents- I love the burgundy and cream one.

(This is a definite gift they can use- tell them they will help the environment by recycling.)

What handy creations!

I like those, too. I'm not sure I have a favorite, although the burgundy might be a bit more striking. Excellent idea and they'll make great gifts. I used to have a Rubbermaid plastic bag dispenser, but it was very utilitarian and too small besides. Yours look like they should hold a good number of bags.

Great gift ideas Jerrie! I finally made one for myself and love it!

I've been intending to make some of these too! I want one for myself, but they would make good Christams gifts. How hard were they to do?

Love those. If you were in my family, I'd be HONORED to get such a lovely home-made gift. They are so meanigful. Have fun giving them out!

Very cute and useful too!

Hey Jerrie,
You and I are thinking alike. I am sewing many of my presents this year too.

I like you bag holders. I am sure the people that get them will enjoy the practicality of them, even though they are pretty to look at.

Great gift ideas.
As some of the others, I have one (almost worn out) and need a new one. Only I'm thinking longer. DD uses em for the cats, too.

Those are really cute! I love the colors you used! :)

They are very easy to make do it like you are making a 12 inch square the blocks are 3.5 inch i did 6 across and 6 down make a casing for elastic on one end and a casing for a tie that is it and sew it close

Jerrie, those are just beautiful....love your fabric choices. Saving the planet and giving the perfect gifts...I think you've nailed it!

Jerri, those are great. You gave me a great idea for some stocking stuffers I need to make.

Very nice.

That is a great idea! I may have to "borrow" it! Thanks for showing your work, those bag holders are lovely! And I really like that they seem bigger than some of the very little ones I've seen that only hold a few bags.

Those are great. I love the colors in the last one, but would be happy to get any of them.

Love your bags, especially the patchwork fabric you made for them. Keep up the great work. May in Jersey

Very cute!!! We call them 'ditty bags' here.. not quite sure why!! LOL I have one I keep in my pantry and I have another one down in my laundry room. they are great to have around and they certainly keep all the plastic bags in a more controlled environment!

Great idea! and the colours are so pretty...think I might need some of these too...thanks for the idea.

I made one of those for myself, but yours are much more attractive!! I will try a patchwork one, as well!

Does anyone have a pattern for the bag holder? I would so enjoy making one as a gift.

i sure like those. what a neat gift idea :D

GladGrams, I used this pattern:

I made mine pretty huge... we have both a dog and a cat to clean up after. hehe And I used the same fabric scheme she did... but I like the patchwork idea lots better!!

Great idea for a gift and I really love yours. I can't believe I've never made any...it's been on my list though, if that counts, lol!

That's what I like about this board: we piggy-back off of each other's ideas. I will definitely try this one. I made one of those bags using a souvenier wine sack (from a grandchilds trip to Mt. Vernon). I had no use for it in it's original state, so I ripped out the bottom and added elastic on both ends. Now I'll have to try my hand at the patchwork bag. Thanks.

Very Pretty and so practical too, what wonderful gifts :D :D :D
