I bought the fun Anny Bag pattern from my blogging friend Anny of It’s Sew Anny, and I decided to make my first one using Christmasy remnants. Although the pattern calls for ruffles on both sides, I left the back unruffled to show off this fun print. The pattern has fabric measurements for two different sizes, and the lined bag has a flat base and two large inside pockets. It was REALLY fun to sew, and I’ll definitely be making more! Check out the Anny Bag and Anny’s other great bag patterns at the It’s Sew Anny Etsy Shop . . . thank you, Anny! ā„

Cute bag with all those ruffles!
Thank you, Linda! I’ve been making lots of ruffly aprons, so this seemed like a good next project! š
I love me a ruffly bag! I also love that it has split personalities, so if you’re feeling ruffly, you can rock that side out, or if you’re feeling more straight-laced, you can rock the solid print. Nice work, Katherine!
Split personalities . . . I like that! š Hmmm . . . half the people I know call me Kathy and the other half Katherine, so maybe I should choose a side for each name . . . š
Yea! I’m so glad you like the bag! Great job and I love the way you left it unruffled on one side! What a super idea!
Thanks again for the great pattern, Anny! Your directions were VERY easy to follow, and I hope you get LOTS of orders! Hugs, Katherine
The bags are lovely. I am really getting into themed stuff lately. Using it and then putting it away rather than using it all year around. It makes a fun time, even more fun!
Thank you, Sharon! A friend gave me a box of Christmas fabric remnants a couple of years ago so I’ve been having lots of fun using it in different ways. š It was fun choosing the different designs for this bag, for sure! š
Very cute and festive for the holidays. Love it!
Thank you, Jeanna! I love how BIG the bag is too . . . it will be nice for carrying things to Christmas celebrations! š
Love this cute bag. Are you selling these? So many deadlines. No time to attempt the pattern. š¦
So far I’m just sewing and crafting for fun and to make gifts . . . maybe someday I’ll start a little business! Thank you for asking, though . . . that’s really sweet! š
Fiddlesticks. š All those lucky friends of yours with cute gifts for Christmas this year! š All your goodies are so cute. I follow but don’t have time to comment much. With five kids – just signing in is a feat. lol
How well I remember those days! š Hugs, Katherine
Aw! š I think they all grow too fast! Hugs. š
Love the ruffles – adorable!
Thank you, Sonya! š
Very cute Katherine! Great idea to leave the ruffles off of the back to see the cute fabric. Hugs, Tamara
Thank you, Tamara! I’ve had the pattern for a LONG time so I was very happy to have a little spot of time to sew it this weekend. š
cute as can be…love to add to the festivities of Christmas with fun looks…
Thank you, Marilyn! I’ve never had anything like this before, so it WILL be fun! š
adorable! that would be great to pack stuff in for a teacher gift!
I agree . . . perfect!!! š
Yes, I too love that you only ruffled one side…did I tell you that I bought a bag from a woman who crochets with grocery bags? Very cool. The one I bought she used Mary Kay pink bags as her material.
What fun! That is so clever . . . and I LOVE Mary Kay pink! š
I have liked this a numerous more of your posts to FB. I hope that it helps. You are so creative.
That’s so sweet of you to share . . . thank you! š

Love the Christmassy print. Great idea for presents.
Thank you! I was so lucky that a friend who was changing hobbies gave me a box of Christmas fabrics. Last year I made “mini-pillow ornaments” and this year I made this bag and I’m working on some bunting. š
Lovely bags, looks wonderful !!
Thank you, Izabel! š
So festive and charming! I love them!
