Treat Bags

Last year right before Halloween I came across a tutorial for some adorable Halloween treat bags by Fishsticks Designs.  I didn't have time to complete any last year, but this year I did.

The bag is wonderful, it has a nice wide opening for seeing what is inside.
When you pick up the handles though, it closes up so the treats stay put.
It came together very quickly, the longest step is fusing interfacing to the fabric, and even that doesn't take long.

The fabric I used came from Riley Blake.  I had purchased two fat quarters (for the outer fabric) and a half yard (for the inner fabric) to make 2 bags, for a total of one yard.  This wasn't quite enough fabric, if you are making 2 bags I suggest 1 1/4- 1 1/2 yards total.
