Small Treat Totes for Halloween

http://www.allpeoplequilt.com/bags-pillows-gifts/bags-and-purses/small-treat-totes

Adorable quick project made from fabric scraps.

Halloween Bags

Made these Halloween Trick or Treat bags for

a church fall boutique.

Final product, might embellish with halloween buttons.

No pattern was used.  I cut coordinating fabric for outer bag and inner bag measuring about 14 inches wide and 16 1/2 inches tall.  Then I cut out a 1 1/2 inch square on the bottom.  The handles were cut 3 inches wide, folded in half for two 1 1/2 inch handles.  They can be any length.  Next I sewed the outer bag and the inner bag, then putting right sides together with handles pin inside and sewed around the top leaving about a 3 inch opening to turn right side out.  Lastly I top stitched the upper bag with two rows of stitching.

Made with Plymouth Worsted Marino Superwash

I didn't think this yarn made a very warm hat for cold Minnesota wind chills even folding over cuff.

Hot Bowl Holder

This hot bowl holder goes right into the microwave with a bowl on it and doesn't get hot.  I used two strands of worsted wool yarn for this project.

Whimsical hat

This whimsical hat was made from a pattern out of the book

'Hip Knit Hats' by Cathy Carron

It knits large so and I had to omit the last two knit rows before the edge.  I made it with Lamb's Pride Bulky 85% wool 15% mohair and it is so warm I think I can only wear it when outside in the cold Minnesota winter.
