A few more finishes from last year ...

Here are a few more finishes from 2012 :)   

5 minute bread bag - the one in the tutorial was too small for my loaves, so I made a larger version!  I didn't photograph the 2 bags I made that were too small, lol.
Laurel Burch bag set - a Christmas gift :)

Close-up of the zipper pull :)
Cowboy bag set - another Christmas gift :)
Today I made a wide open zipper bag (will get a picture tomorrow) - I still have to check the instructions several times when installing the zipper that way so I want to make a few of them to get the technique down pat.  I think it's such a great design - thank you to Anna/Noodlehead for a great tutorial!

Construction notes for the bread bag - to fit  a 1.5 pound loaf from my breadmaker:  cut tea towels to 2 x 13.5"w x [15"t ... finished] (or cut on the fold).  Cut tie to 30" long.  Fold fabrics RST with finished edge @ top, insert ribbon 2" from top, stitch down side(s) and across bottom, using 3/8" seam.  Trim seam down, zigag raw edges.  Tie a knot in each end of the tie, angle cut the end.

  1. Hi Sandra,
    I love the patterns on your materials, you get some pretty neat stuff girl! Those zipper bags must come in handy and they would be perfect gifts.
    Cheers, Anita.

  2. I love the bread bag. What have you got in it? Something good? I am so jealous that you have that fabulous zipper pull charm to match the fabric . Great zippies.

  5. Really like your fabric choices. The Laurel Burch bags are to die for! Have to dig my LB fabric out. Oh, and the pull is great too.
