Cloth Shopping Bags

The cloth shopping bags that I whipped up as a Christmas present for my mom were a big hit! She loved them :) I was actually surprised that my sister seemed to be really interested in them as well. She's not usually into anything that I make but she asked if I could make a couple for her to. Good thing the local fabric shop is having a super new year's blowout sale! I can't wait to dig through the bolts of material to load up on great fabric. Gotta love sales!

Coth Shopping Bags in the Works

I've been busy busy trying to get my last minute Christmas gifts sewn up :) There were a few special things that I wanted to make for my mom this year and cloth shopping bags were high on my list. She has bought a couple of the ones you pick up at the end of the grocery checkout counter but they are so blah and boring. Personally I would have loved to have made her some lime green ones or bright yellow because I just love those colors but she likes basic black usually so I found this great print at an equally great price and new it would be perfect for her :)

I couldn't leave them just plain though *grin*. So I appliqued some birds onto the front of them for a fun funky look :) I just have to finish sewing the lining in later on today and they'll be ready to be wrapped :)
