Quilted Snap Bags are fun to make!:)
 

Grab a fat quarter or scraps, batting and and a tape measure. I posted a link to a tutorial I used with info on how I made my bags. Quilt your outer bag fabric or simplify and speed up the process with pre-quilted fabric.

Our guild is making these for make-up/toiletry bags for our local Women's Shelter.

Oh so cute! Thank you for sharing the tutorial link . . . I am a bag pattern collector of sorts. HAHAHA - I have yet to make any, but I have a large collection of patterns. ~smile~

nicely done, and a great donation

Those are cute, But I couldn't get the link to open.

Thank you! I checked the link address and it opens for me. Sorry you are having trouble. You can copy and paste the link address or type it in your search bar to get to the link. You can also go to u-tube under quilting videos to find many other ways to make a quilted snap bag. I hope this helps!

they look fantastic and very usefull

If you set out to make a lot of these, you can buy measuring tape replacement rolls instead of a whole measuring tape device. One roll makes a lot of bags...

And I thought I was the only one! :)

very pretty bags

Nice projects. Thanks for the link.
I will have to make some for the grandkids.

I have made dozens of these, well. almost. I did not quilt my fabric and did my bottom corners differently. Cute!

WOW! Those are really pretty and thank you for donating your time for a good cause. I especially like the first one-bright and pretty.

What lovely gifts.

HA - Phyllis! I suspect there might be a LOT like us out there . . . ~smile~

And willferg - thank you for the tip about just buying a replacement tape!

These turned out so nice! What a sweetie you are to help those gals out.

love your small bags
thank you for sharing and for the tutorial

Thanks for the link. BrendaK

These bags are really cute, and I love your choice of donation Thanks for sharing

I like making them too. I never thought as donations. Thanks,

Same here... some quilted, some not and all different sizes. I purchased my tape at Dollar Tree for just $1. I made a black one that fits in the pocket of my car door, to keep petty cash and stuff I might need but don't want to carry in my purse. Its totally hidden in the door pocket. I also use them for cosmetics, and even made long, skinny ones to hold my TV remotes, etc. Also gave many as gifts. The uses are endless. Thanks for the link. I know many will enjoy it.

Oh the door keeper bag is a great idea...very pretty...thanks and what a great donation item....Another tape idea is to ask your construction worker son to save you his broken tape...Worked for me...

These turned out really cute. I will have to learn to make these.

Thank you for the tip! I will pass along the info at our next guild meeting.

What nifty pouches...and endless possibilities with fun fabrics. Thank you for sharing, they look like a fun project.

I was able to go to a hardware and they had some pieces of the measuring tapes that were laying around. They gave them to me for nothing.

copycat - would you allow me use your pictures to show how cute these turn out? I'm going to share the tutorial on my blog - and would love to show off your finished bags? Thank you again for sharing!

Thank you for sharing , love it

Love these....and appreciated the idea of both the replacement tape and one from the dollar store. My husband thanks you in advance ;)

Thank you for the reminder...my late sister made these maybe 4 or 5 years ago. I have one put away in a drawer so I will always have it as I only take it when I travel.

very nice , I like have to make one. thanks

Those are lovely and so thoughtful of your group to make and donate.

Yes, I would be happy to have you post my photos on your blog. Thank you for asking.

Love your bags thanks for sharing the pattern.

Love all of your bags - fabric is great!
