Lined Drawstring Bags - Last Group and Wrap Up

Here's a photo of some of the bags in action

as we prepared for our early Christmas with 

Little Man and his parents last weekend.

The bags work SO well . . .

Re-purposed crumpled packing paper and/or 

air pillows/bubble wrap work great to "plump" up the bags

so the contents aren't quite so obvious.

I used shipping tags attached with large safety pins

for name tags - they also worked well.

And finally I have finished the last eight bags.

This is the smallest of the sizes I made.

The pattern calls this one the "CD bag" -

I named it the XXS size.

Here's another XXS lined with the

same fabric as the bag's body.

This is the third XXS bag - gotta love those lemurs.

This bag is the XS (my term) or the "DVD" bag (pattern term).

It is actually a very useful size

which surprised me.

A second XS bag made.

Elephants on the next XS bag.

A cool blue striped XS bag.

And finally the Perfect Treehouse XS bag.

Several of you asked about a tally of all the sizes.

There are ninety-two in all:

8 Extra Extra Small (CD)

10 Extra Small (DVD)

12 Small (Snack)

16 Medium (Everything)

15 Large (Project)

17 Extra Large (Artist)

and

14 Extra Extra Large (Laundry)

Now that they are finished,

I cannot believe I made THAT many!

The pattern I used is by Jeni Baker of In Color Order.

I know I'll make more 

if these wear out or 

a custom bag is needed but

it feels SO good to be finished

with this year-long project.
