Recent Lined Drawstring Gift Bags

Happy Friday! Today I have a few recent drawstring gift bags to share! These were all made in the last few months with my Lined Drawstring Bag Pattern.


First up, this super scrappy indigo drawstring bag! This bag was using leftover blocks and scraps from two indigo quilts, my Indigo June Baby Quilt and Indigo Courthouse Steps Quilt. I pieced the blocks and scraps into "fabric" that was large enough to cut two exterior main pieces from. The accent and lining are also scrappy, cut from white on white fabrics that I over-dyed with indigo.


I've never made a bag quite like this and I had a lot of fun with it! I want to experiment more with using up leftovers and stretching the materials to fit. This is a project size bag, and it was made to gift the indigo baby quilt in! It's finished simply with white paracord for the ties.


This next bag was also a gift, for my friend Laura! She loves hello kitty too, so I took that as an opportunity to use some hello kitty fabrics! We swapped yarn earlier in the year, and I packed it up in this bag. I wanted to play around with some pom pom trim, and decided to add it to the seam between the accent and lining. I think it adds to the overall playfulness of the bag!


This is the everything size. I used the yellow measuring tape twill for this, which I don't use often!


I know I made this bag to gift another baby quilt, but I've managed to forget which quilt this held!! Whoops. This bag was made with prints from my Curiosities fabric collection. It's simple and sweet.


This is an artist size bag, which is my go-to size for gifting baby quilts. It's finished with paracord.


Last but not least, a cat bag! We wanted to share some of Dusty's favorite treats (any of the dehydrated treats, but especially the chicken) with one of Michael's co-workers and I thought it would be fun to send the treats inside a kitty themed bag!


I cut into some precious Aneela Hoey kitty fabric and actually remembered to use one of my woven tags. Another opportunity to use the yellow measuring tape twill and this time some cute wooden beehive beads.
