Shopping Bags

In December, in a moment of madness, I decided to make shopping bags as Christmas presents from my daughter.  She loves In The Night Garden and Thomas The Tank Engine, so I bought some second hand curtains in both designs and upcycled them to make the bags using a pattern from Creating my way to success.  The pattern uses bedding, but I found the lightweight curtain fabric worked well.  I finished the last 2 bags I needed for presents on 21st December, just in the nick of time! I still have one of each type to sew for myself, but they can be done at my leisure!

I'm really pleased with the results, as were the recipients!

I finally found time to sew my bags together today!
