Bags for the Girls

For Christmas gifts this year, I decided to make bags for some of the girls on my list.  Typically, I forgot to take pictures of half of them.  I followed this handy tute to make a camera lens pouch for my friend Natalie.  I used the rest of the tinkerbell material I got for a gift for my niece last year to try out this knot bag tutorial for the same niece.  Then I just kind of guesstimated to make bags for two of my sisters-in-law and my sister (which I did, miraculously, remember to get pics of). 

My sister got this one.  It's a pretty simple bag, I made a seam with top-stitching down the center of each side, but other than that it's just a rectangle (reinforced with fusible felt) with the bottom corners squared.


 And two of my sisters-in-law got these:



I've had a request for the pattern for the gathered bag, so it's moved up on my make-a-tute list.
