Another gift bag

Just another gift bag. =) I have "helpers" who like to pick the fabrics! I am working on an owl ornament, but am having issues with the eyes. I tried to make "yo-yos" but ignored the tute author who suggested that the thread being strong (quilting) thread. I painstakingly sewed all the way around the first yo-yo, pulled snug and.....SNAP! Sighs. Anyone else have completed projects to share?

Cloth Gift Bag

Kristi has encouraged me to post my first YOC accomplishment. Here it is: An all-purpose reusable gift bag. I am trying to use materials from my stash to reduce my collection a bit. I used flannel for the bag and I braided yarn (6 strands) for the tie.
