Handmade Christmas - Shopping Bags

So let's see...where did I leave off before telling you all about my ambitious little project yesterday? Oh oh that's right...the handmade Christmas! I'm not done yet...oh no! I've got another gift or two to share!

A few years ago, I made my cousin Dawn some amazing shopping bags. I've been making shopping bags since before they were cool. They are so easy to make and I use them for everything. Ironically, I use them mostly for stuff other than shopping LOL! When I do use them for shopping though, the checker folks always LOVE my bags! It's good because I love em too...



Anyway, Dawn's sister really admired said bags. A little bird told me this summer that it might make a good gift, so that's just what I did! Each of these bags is lined in a coordinating fabric and they are completely reversible, so if you don't want the print you can use it on a solid side! They are made of a decor weight cotton, making them almost feel like a really soft cotton duck. It also makes them extra sturdy, and they wash well!

I love those! Do you use a pattern or do you just freehand it at this point?

I do make them freehand, but perhaps a how - to might be in the works ;) I think I really should! I've made them enough!
