Strip Bag

We had a Christmas party for customers at Tiny Stitches. They paid $5 to reserve a spot and then when they left, they got a goodie bag. Part of the bag included a little roll of 1 1/2 inch strips. I cut them all on the AccuCut and rolled them. I tied them with extra fabric and they really looked cute.

Of course, they also got some other things in the bag, including a discount coupon for a future purpose.

Any way, after cutting all the strips and rolling up the strips, we decided that we needed to also give them an idea of a project to make out of the strips.

This little bag is what I ended up with. The strips were 1 1/2 inches by approximately 22 inches or 1/2 the width of fabric. There were 10 strips and I simply sewed them together. Once sewn, I trimmed them to a rectangle, added batting and a lining fabric. We didn't include the lining/binding fabric but all the customer needs is 1/3 yard.

Here is the bag opened. It really turned out good and hopefully many of the customers will like it. Making it was fun but doing the directions was a challenge. It is always hard to write directions that can be understood by almost anyone.
