Mail Sack

I can no longer say that I only know how to quilt.  I now know how to make one bag, which I hope will translate to other bags and patterns.  I finally finished up the last bag that I was working on (I made 5 total) last night and now I get to share my creation.  I'm only showing one of the bags since the other 4 are Christmas gifts and I don't want to completely ruin the surprise.

I learned how to make the Mail Sack from Pink Chalk Studio.   I made a few alterations to the pattern, like having a single piece of fabric for the exterior and adjusting an inside pocket to compensate for a shortage in the interior fabric.  Overall, I think these bags turned out well and I can't wait to give them away from Christmas!

  7. this looks like a wonderful bag to me, the lining made with pretty fabric is much nicer to have than an ordinary plain lining, I am sure they will be well loved when received at Christmas, will not hop over to the link as I need one of these!
