Trick or Treat Goodie Bag

I'm in the process of making my son's Halloween costume and decided I wanted to make him a cute little treat bag to carry.  I thought it would be a simple, quick, stress free project since I've made bags before and they aren't too difficult or time consuming.  As soon as those thoughts crossed my mind I should have stopped myself and went to the store to buy one. 

 

I ended up screwing up on multiple steps which is why I didn't even bother with the simple bag tutorial I had planned, and ended up scrapping a few details just to get it finished and out of the way.   I think I was having an off crafting day, either way I'm glad it's finished and it will work for holding all Grant's little treats this year and maybe next year I'll get to make the cute bag I had planned.

a few things i've done

Ok i don't have anything recent that i've made since i've been all consumed with my son since his birth (i have now given up on trying to get him on a schedule), so here are a few things i have done in the past few months.  i should have something new made this week, i just bought the fabric to make two christmas gifts for friends and i have to have them done by thursday.  So as long as i remember to take a picture i'll be all set.

one of my favorite things to make are baby items, s when my cousin-in-law's wife was expecting i put together this basket of goodies, a mix of store bought and homemade items. sorry about the crappy photo quality, these pictures were taken on my cell phone months ago.

she planned on cloth diapering her little girl so i made 2 sets of diapers with bibs.  I got the pattern for the diaper at the nappy network.

this buttercup bag i made last year, it was suppose to be a gift for my sister's birthday but ended up being too small for her so now it is going to my niece for her birthday.  i think it turned out so cute and it was really easy too, even for me, who is not the best seamtress.

the black apple doll is still waiting for a home but i saw her first on homemade by jill's blog and thought she was so cute, i had to try to make one even though as of now i have no one to give her to.
