Well this is what I spent my evening doing!!! This is the first time I have had a chance to touch my sewing machine in over a month. I think it came out alright.

That is so cute, love the raggedy edges, neat touch. I bet you were pleased to visit your sewing machine again :P

Trick or Treat :D That is an awesome bag, what child would not want to take that bag trick or treating??? Good job and I am glad you found your way back to your sewing machine, too!

the little oneshave not been very coperative lately so I couldn't get any time to sew or quilt. Now that school has started and both kids are going, I may be able to get to some of my projects that I want to do

That is really cute!! What a neat way to use halloween fabrics!!

Love the bag :!:
I know my granddaughters would love to get their treats in that one!!!!
Nice job...

Gorgeous! Now you only have 5 more to make, right?

You could sell those girlfriend!

That is very nice.
I plan on making trick-or-treat bags for my little ones, too.

This will make the 3rd year our DD has wanted to be the same thing and wear the same Cinderella dress. It was one of the $25 or $30 dollar ones that lights up!! DH griped about paying that much for it at the time bc he thought she'd only wear it once. HA! It actually saved him money! She's worn it for "dress up" and to a few Halloween parties. This will be the 3rd trick-or-treating trip! THe only problem is that it ISN'T washable with the lights!! Hello Tide-To-Go pen!

The baby will be wearing his Cookie Monster suit again this year. We bought it big, and he still loves it!

I don't know how many more years this will go on, but I'm totally amazed BUT THRILLED! Less aggravation and saving money! LOL!

I have decided to make the fabric bags bc the plastic ones just don't hold up well on a good night of candy-grabbing. The pumpkins are bulky...the fabric ones are WASHABLE! and will be used again and again. (seems to be catching on).

That is too cute! I bet the little ones will love them. Nice job!

Cassandra,
Did you make the sides and bottom out of squares or just one solid piece? How big is your bag? :D

the sides and bottom are out of 3"x 13" strips I used 1/2 inch seams

Very cute! They could use them as book bags also. Or tote bags, shopping bags, quilt store find bags, i just love bags lol.

I know I would have loved to use this going door to door! Though maybe a bit bigger. Between us five kids we'd usually get an extra piece of candy because, despite my father's plea not to, one would always chime in, "and it's our Dad's birthday too!"

like your trick or treat bags. i have been looking for a good size pattern to make for my grandkids this year. how big are your squares? have you made this bag a little bigger? how long of a strip did you make for the handle?and did you use low loft batting?about how much material did you use? lots of questions!!!! jeanette

Very Cute Bag! Great idea!

I used 7 inch squares with a 1/2 inch seam allowance so the squares wound up 6 inches sides and bottom are 3"x13" again 1/2 seam allowance I used batting that I got at walmart dont know what it was called but it looked like felt almost but wasn't it came on a bolt it was very easy to work with and cut I used my roatery cutter to cut it!! the handles ar 12 or 14 inches x 2 inches i just folded the fabric under and sewed a line down the middle then sewed to bag. I have not made it bigger but it can hold alot of candy for one bag it was like 1/4 yard of each of the materials so i spent all of 2 or 3 dollars making this bag!!! can't beat that price and they can use it over and over!!!!

Cassandra

thank you alot for sharing this pattern. my grandkids will love them.
greatly appreciate it so much. jeanette :)

Is this the first raggedy style bag you've made?

yes this is the first bag of any kind that I have made

Cassandra

Wow, really? You did a great job!
