Birthday Bags

I bought a pattern for a lined drawstring bag, which comes in many different sizes.

I can't even tell you how many bags I've made over the years.

I work with Young Women, ages 12-18 years old, in my church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints.

We give a little gift to the girls who turn 12 and join the Young Women program.

I make a bag for each one of the girls, and we fill it with an ios lip balm, and some uplifting literature.

I've taken photos of all the bags I've made in a little over 2 years.

The girls are really excited to receive them, 12 is such a sweet age:)

You can find the tutorial here.

The bags I made in these photos, is the smallest size, about 4" X6".
