I make these to take over gifts, kids love them because they can haul away the gifts they get in the bags. You could make them from a fall themed shirt if you wanted to make it a trick or treat bag. The bag is lined to make it less stretchy. I cut the ribbing off the bottom and turn it into a turn down for the top of the bag, the handles are cut from a sleeve.
Some of the pics are a bit blurry. When you sew the ribbing to the bag top, you will have to do a lot of easing. You are sewing two stretchy fabrics with a non stretchy fabric in the middle so there might be some pinchy pleats but they won't show as they will be hidden by the folded over ribbing. this is how I cut the shirt up, I trim the seam allowances from the ribbing on the bottom [ATTACH=CONFIG]136835[/ATTACH] this is how I cut the handles. I cut them four inches wide, fold and press with raw edges to wards the center and a ribbon sewn down to cover the raw edges. [ATTACH=CONFIG]136836[/ATTACH] sew the lining and insert it inside the bag. I have to adjust the length of the ribbing to fit the opening. I insert the handles so that when the ribbing is sewn down it can be folded over the top of the bag and the handles are sewn up in between. [ATTACH=CONFIG]136837[/ATTACH] here is a blue bag finished [ATTACH=CONFIG]136838[/ATTACH] finished white bag [ATTACH=CONFIG]136839[/ATTACH] the wrong side of the white fabric looked like snow to me [ATTACH=CONFIG]136840[/ATTACH] so I made this mini snowman pillow. It would look cut on a mantle or credenza [ATTACH=CONFIG]136867[/ATTACH] |
Cute idea! May have to try this.
What do you use for the lining? |
I just used some woven fabric from my remnant bin. You can use any coordinating fabric. I usually pick something I am no longer in love with.
