{sew} modern monday [the toast bag!]

{Sew} Modern Monday at Canoe Ridge Creations

it's time for  
{sew} modern monday!

toast2

i hope everyone had a wonderful thanksgiving weekend! now that the turkey and mash-potatoes are gone, the christmas tree is finally up, and the holiday baking has begun (i think i've already eaten a dozen of these yummy cookies!) it's time to kick the handmade gift making into full gear! while i may have been pushing a few sewing deadlines off .:ahem:. the heat is on. so to kick it all off, and to get the creative juices flowing, i decided to make a quick little lined drawstring bag using jeni's awesome tutorial!

i just love this tutorial! jeni's pictures and instructions are clear and precise, making for a wonderfully easy tute to follow. for my bag, i decided to use some of my yellow "toast" fabric and a geometric black & white fabric for the outside. i just love that toast!

for a little pop of color, i used a hot pink amy butler print for the lining and a contrasting aqua dot for the draw strings.

and done -- instant gratification! :)
