I made a couple of drawstring bags for Eli today!
I followed my favourite tutorial found here to make
the smaller one.
To make the larger one I increased the
measurements to this:
measurements to this:
Main outer: 14 1/4" by 12 1/2" x2
Accent outer: 4 1/2" by 12 1/2" x2
Lining: 18" by 12 1/2" x2
I'm recording them here so I have them for future
reference.
I'm making plans for this;
there is definitely a dress and quilt earmarked for
these!

Nice bags!
Is that Gertrude Made barkcloth? You will have lots of fun with that. I wonder which will be the dress.
Those bags are adorable-such great prints!
I love the bags you made for your grandson. My grandson loves the bags I make for him. He puts his treasures in them. So much fun to have a 3 year old around. Can't wait to see the dress you will make out of the pretty fabrics.
DArling..I must start on some of these for the holidays
Definitely love the bags, and wish I had a little one to make them for. You will enjoy teaching him to put things away in it. As for your fabrics... you definitely came across a real "find!" What a haul for you! I know you're thinking of making a merino dress, but are you planning a barkcloth quilt too? I wonder what that would feel like. I just keep picturing skirts and dresses. All of them made by GertrudeMade are SO gorgeous! I'm generally not a "flower person," but I completely appreciate the femininity of these prints. Enjoy cutting into them!
The owl and alligator are adorable. Drawstring bags are great projects.
Lucky boy! Lucky you!!
The bags are a fun idea. Children love to collect things in them and cart them everywhere. Gorgeous fabrics in the bags. And it looks like more gorgeous fabrics in your plans!
Super cute drawstring bags, Suz! They will be perfect for all kinds of treasures.
Oh, swooning over the OutBack Wife fabrics and excited to see what you will make!
