Brown Paper Bag Pouches

I'll admit it, I'm in love with brown paper bags. They fall in line with my passion for school supplies and office supplies. *Ü*
 
 
I folded them into pouches and sewed the edges.  First time EVER sewing....I bought a little machine and found a You Tube video on how to use it.  Probably will never be a seamstress, but I'm pretty happy with how these turned out.





 
I used the new Sketched Birthdays stamp set, Gingham Garden Designer Series Paper, Paper Doilies, Natural Trim Ribbon and lots of little accessories.
 
 
These little pouches were for my first level inventive gifts for a job well done.  Nice works ladies!
 
Thanks Sarah Sagert for the inspiration and sharing the idea of making tags for a paper bag pouch on Stampin' Connections, our demonstrator share site.

  2. Oh my gosh, Becky! You should have heard me squeal at your post today!!!!! I just love little paper bags, and I have to admit that I'm kinda bummed when I open a box of goodies and the brown paper packing isn't there too often. I am serious!!! I LOVE this group of projects. I'm a NUT about school supplies and TAGS!!! Love you, girl, Celia Cawthon

  3. Are these bags made from the brown packing paper that we seldom get anymore? Of course who doesn't like a good bubble pop now and then?!

    These are so nice, can you say class time?! TFS

  11. Yea, Becky, I feel for you. I have a gorgeous Hurskqvana Viking machine that cost a small fortune that only ever gets used on my cards. I bought it years ago to try making curtains and baby bedding for the kiddos. The manufacturer would probably shoot me!
    Fab project...totally never thought about paper bags that way!
