Recent Lined Drawstring Bags

Happy Wednesday! I have quite a backlog of drawstring bags to share with you today. Some of these are even from the holiday season, whoops! These were all made with either my Lined Drawstring Bag Pattern or my free tutorial.


First up, a sweet floral bag! Before my daughter arrived, I put together a box of fabric combinations to turn into bags or other small projects. My thought process was that I could then easily grab a stack of fabrics when I had a spare moment to sew something without having to think too much. It worked out rather well, but I actually still have a few combinations waiting to be turned into something! This was one of them. I used the peek-a-boo lining variation in my Lined Drawstring Bag Expansion Pattern to make this bag. Otherwise it's an Everything size! The main fabric has been in my stash for a long time and is by Carolyn Gavin, love her artwork.


I bet you can't guess who I made these Christmas bags for! My seemingly endless stash of Hello Kitty fabrics has really come in handy lately. We did a combination of wrapping paper and reusable bags for my daughter, who enjoyed opening both. These were both made using the easy going variation in my Lined Drawstring Bag Expansion Pattern. One is an Artist size, the other is a Project size.


Last of the holiday bags! I made this group of 5 snack size bags to gift some sweet holiday treats in! They fit a jelly jar nicely.


Another Hello Kitty bag, this one Easter themed. I think I have Hello Kitty fabric for every major holiday! This one is Project sized!



These bags are both gift bags for one of Michael's coworkers who recently had a baby! The baby quilt is done and fits neatly inside the Artist size bag. The other bag will hold another small present. I used some of my Geometric Bliss prints for these.


And now and smattering of bottle gift bags! Michael needed a last minute bottle bag for a gift recently and I almost couldn't find one! So I decided to make a small stash of them so that we're better prepared for last minute gifting. These were all made using my Wine Bottle Drawstring Gift Bag Tutorial. This one features a fun print from Carolyn Friedlander and a sparkly accent.


Next I dug into my hand-dyed fabric stash! This is a fabric I dyed by first applying a wax resist with a paintbrush, then indigo dyeing! I am feeling a pull to start using more of my hand-dyed fabrics lately! I went with a solid exterior for this bag, no accent.


Another bag made from hand-dyed fabric, this time ice-dyed! I have a bunch of ice-dyed fabrics waiting to be used, it was nice to dip into my stash. I went with a solid exterior for this bag, no accent.



These last two bags were made with some fabrics by Sarah Watson that have been in my stash for many years! It is so satisfying to dip deep into my stash and use something I've been holding onto for so long.
