I met a friend this afternoon and wanted to take a little something to give to her, so I whipped this up before I left the house. {Yes, it was that easy!}

I used two pieces of unbleached muslin, cut the same size, andstamped a design on each piece with some StazOn ink.
I sewed the pieces together, trimmed the corners...
...turned, pressed, and filled with chocolate.
Gave it away to my blog friend, Marlene who
I had the pleasure of meeting for the first time
today at our local scrapbook store.

You know what? I think I could make that - this looks divine and I love it! If only the sewing machine wasn't packed away and I had a table or bench that could be cleared to use ;-)
That is such a great idea and, as you say, simple enough to make in a hurry. I love it!
Isn't it fun meeting blog friends for real!
Wow - how quick and simple a gift is that? Stored away in my head for future use, thank you.
*sigh* You are such a lovely person, Deb. x And you know what, I think even I could manage a gift bag like that ... where can I find unbleached muslin?
So very pretty! I'm always drawn to things made from linen or muslin. I love their simplicity.
You are so creative and thoughtful...love it!
Lucky Marlene :-) It's so sweet and pretty! What a lovely stamp... xx
It was really good to meet you in person yesterday Deb. Thanks for my "sweet" gift, love that you always create such lovely goodies. Looking forward to seeing what you make from the book.
OK, now I need to add unbleached muslin or linen to my shopping list! Thanks for sharing the tutorial, I will definitely be trying this one, the little bag makes such a difference in turning a little bag of sweets into a proper gift.
My niece loved the little bird by the way. She was fascinated by its little yellow legs!
That's my girl! Talented AND thoughtful! Very sweet bag! And cute picture of my DD! xo
Love the way you 'just whipped it up'....though it does look fairly simple to make....or simply gorgeous.
Great gift. Thanks for the tutorial. It's a wonderful thing to meet a bloggy friend in person.
you just whipped that up. ugh. that would have taken me a week. xo!!
What the what?!?! You AMAZE me! Such a sweet way to add that personal touch, makes me want to make a bunch for Christmas gifts. Did you just cut the top with decorative scissors? Love!
Beautiful,it makes me think even I could have a go at that.It looks so crisp and I love the design on the stamp- a lovely gift x ( It would probably take me about a week to do though!)
That's a really cute bag! Just wish I could sew;)
P.S. Thank you so much for stopping by my blog!
What a cute little bag and so easy...thanks for the little confidence booster about etsy...will be keeping my fingers crossed!!! Enjoy the week!! Kirsti xxx
