A really quick project and pretty too. And it looks quite easy to make so I think this is a definite winner all round! I love little baggies like this to put little gifts in or even as a gift itself. And they can so easily be made in any shape or size you like.

I make bags like this all the time to put gifts in and these are great for storing toys too. You can make them any size you want and out of fancy or fun fabric and use cord or ribbon to finish.There is so many fun ways to finish the bags but the best part is they only take a few minutes to finish. I love this tutorial because it has shown my a faster way to make these bags. I give this a five star.

This bag is super easy to make. I am always looking for a bag to put my knitting and crocheting projects in and this will be perfect. I can make some as gifts as well. Also you can make them to use for shoes and other things when you travel. So many uses! Thank you.

This has to be the fastest sewing project of all time plus it is a really pretty bag too! The pattern is wonderfully easy to follow and there are detailed photos for every step so it really is impossible to go wrong. I made 2 this afternoon in under 30 minutes, including fabric selection. Quick AND easy? What could be better!

This is a fun and easy project that can be dressed up or kept simple. We made a ton of these, unlined, with simple drawstrings for a non-profit project donating school supplies to impoverished areas, and putting them in this simple drawstring tote for them to carry. We used fabric scraps, heavier cottons, brightly colored and was a wonderful way to help others via sewing! Thanks for sharing!

This is a cute and simple tote bag for a first project for my niece! She's 12 and likes to do arts and crafts, and has wanted to sew something. She wanted to sew some tiny doll clothes, but that stuff is so fussy. I don't think it's for a beginner just because it's small! Try putting snaps on a 3 inch piece of fabric! So this tote will be perfect for her first project!
