I made this pattern quite a while ago, but I still love it. It's incredibly easy to put together and you can make 2 bags from 2 fat quarters. It's one of my favorite patterns to throw together this time of the year. I typically like to start my Easter Sewing early - though my daughter uses these treat bags in her lunch year round.
Supply List:
------------------------------------
Orange Fat Quarter
Green Fat Quarter
Green Satin Ribbon
Fabric Scissors
Drawstring Puller
--------------------------------------
I placed the links to some great fats quarters and other supplies below. I've recently started buying more on amazon because I cannot trust myself at the fabric store. I always come home with a bunch of fabric I didn't intend to buy and I'm running out of storage space.
I swear by the drawstring puller for threading elastic and ribbon. I spent years pulling ribbon and elastic through with a big safety pin. Never again. The drawstring puller makes threading elastic ridiculously easy. I also use to to constantly rethread my tweens hooded sweatshirts, but that's another story.
I would say these bags take about 20 minutes to sew 2. I typically make a dozen or more when I sew them. I'm thinking about making some this year with food safe nylon so they are easier to wipe out. I filled them with sweet treats for Easter baskets and now my tween still uses them for snack bags in her lunch box. Made with cotton they are great for goldfish crackers, cereal, and other dry snacks. I think if you use nylon you can probably also fill with real carrots, apple slices, and more.
