I made peek-a-boo bags for everyone on my Christmas list. These pouches are highly addictive and after some pattern finagling, pretty darn quick! They measure about 9 X 10 flat, with a vinyl window. I made tissue holders with the leftover fabrics--that's what you see inside the bags here.
I also made a few stockings using a fabulous free pattern from fabricworm; I will throw in a pic of my favorite one--bras and pink polka dots.
One for Mom and the other for her sister, my Aunt Bunnie (being sisters, I had to make them exactly alike, don't you think?)
One for my Aunt Maureen and the other for my boss Sonya--both dog lovers (click on the pic, this print is too cute!)
One for my sister Jen and the other for me!
a matching stocking for Jen--she's going to get a kick out of this!!
HaPpY HoLiDaYs!
May the coming year be full of happiness, laughter, prosperity, balance, and plenty of Chinese takeout!
UPDATE: I will be doing a tutorial for a bag similar to this over at Madame Samm's http://www.sewwequilt.com/ on February 8th!
Those peek a boo bags are too cute! Got a total kick out of the bra fabric, I remember you telling me you were making your sister a bra stocking but this is cuter then what I had in mind, she's going to love it.

Congrats on being a doctoral candidate! My friend is currently pursuing her second master's and delighted about the fact that the university also has a doctoral program that moves on from her master's program.
ReplyDeleteThe peek-a-boo bags are adorable! I just went and ordered the pattern! I love making bags and I can just see that these will make perfect gifts for Christmas next year!
