Halloween Bags

Halloween is close approaching and thoughts began to turn to that old activity of trick or treat.  The grands are getting old enough to enjoy so I thought that I would put together some bags for all the goodies.

I went out on a limb and free hand cut my patterns.  To get the stiffness to maintain their shape, I use just a single layer of cotton quilt batting.  They are fully lined.

The girls have black cats and Julian's is a ghost.  I monogrammed the back.
 






Now I will get back to garment sewing.  Making something different is fun!

Happy Holloween!
