I mentioned at the beginning of the week that I was in process of making some Easter goodie bags... I made and filled three bunny goodie bags and one carrot. They turned out just adorable!
And... as promised, I am sharing the links for the patterns!
I made hair scrunchies to hold the bag shut. The pattern (which is available in three sizes) suggested ribbon. I had some strips of Easter fabric in the stash that was given to me by a friend about 10 years ago.
After making the bunnies (medium sized bag), I searched for a carrot bag pattern, which I found for free at Connecting Threads, I discovered they also had a bunny bag pattern. Alas, I didn't need it. Maybe another year...
With the bags finished, I needed goodies to fill them. I wanted to go a bit healthier... the kids will receive plenty of sugary treats like peeps and chocolate eggs. I selected small bags of sour gummies (a favorite of Emma's)... they were on sale and touted "less sugar". Dave wanted to give them a chocolate and peanut butter egg, as they are his favorites... I caved at that. I included an extra scrunchie in the bags for the girls.
The carrot was a little trickier to fill... I finally settled on a shorter beef stick and a beef and cheese stick snack. I recommend taking the bag with you to fill to ensure that the snack will fit. ;)
Peter Cottontail hopped on down to the post office and got the gift box sent on its way.
I am not hopping off to my studio to get ready for the quilt retreat. I gave my machine a mini-pedi in preparation for it.
Keep Piecing,
