Fold-Away Shopping Bags (aka Last-Minute Teacher Gifts) . . .

My girls really wanted handmade end-of-year teacher gifts this year, and I didn't really think I'd get to it. But then I came accross this tutorial; and in no time at all, these little fold-away shopping bags were done. I've made something similar to these before, and try to keep one in my purse ~ it's come in handy many times!

Linking up to Confessions of a Craft Addict.

Oh thanks for the link to the tutorial! This is great. But I think what makes them really great is the fabric you used!

What a handy bag to have and the fabric you used is wonderful!

What a great idea and once again the fabric is nice and fun; just right for a teacher. I usually have one in my purse too....however it is not handmade and handmade is so much better! :D

Those bags are great! Off topic, but is your daughter on the left wearing hand-knit socks? They look gorgeous!
