Tiny Treats
September 17th, 2010
Trick-or-Treat… smell my sewing machine feet.
Make some Tiny Treats bags from my pattern in the Fall 2010 issue of Quilts & More. I have two projects in this issue - one is my Tiny Treats bags project, and the other is my Dressed to Impress organizer quilt project (kit available at the Fat Quarter Shop). But there’s more… MUCH MORE.
I love this Halloween fabric. LOVE IT. So bold, graphic and clean.
I’m hording my wee little scraps of Boo Boo Bears by RJR Fabrics left-over from the project.
No pets allowed in my sewing room… but one rare occasions I allow the villagers in and let then think they’ve snuck in (and can’t be seen).
This fabric made my heart skip a beat! Confections by Caleb Gray for Robert Kaufman Fabrics.
I had no choice but to lick the fabric.
Can’t stop. More bags in in the works. Instead of ribbon, I’m using 3″ strips of fabrics (double folded inward/finished at ¾” and edge stitched - same method as my Poochie Bag’s straps).
I love mixing and matching Elizabeth’s darling new Red Rose Farm line with P&B Textiles. I’m making some Tiny Treat bags for Elizabeth’s Market booth - and since I’m not done sewing them… they’ll have to wait to be seen at Market!
My Lecien fabric-sister - Rosalie Quinlan and her newest line of Sweet Broderie. I’m going to send these off to Lecien’s Market booth - IF I have the will power to let them go once I’m done sewing them all up.
I am so in love with this fabric! It sings to both my loves of vintage and modern fabrics. Sing-out-loud sing… like Aretha Franklin beltin’ one out.
Thinking up what goodies would be good in the Tiny Treats bags is next!
PS… Emma Thomsen is hosting a give-away on her blog - a 12 fat quarter bundle of my Holiday Happy fabric. HURRY… her give-away ends soon!

September 19th, 2010love the bags!! i have the issue with me here at work and i’ve flipped through it quickly so far. the little bags caught my eye, but i hadn’t looked enough to realize they were your pattern.
i’m sure once my son sees them, he’ll want a bag or two made for him. and they’re great for the holidays.
September 20th, 2010Yummy fabric! They are such happy little bags in a happy looking studio!
September 20th, 2010love them, making the tiny bags for my daughters bday tea party…..now i definately need to get started on the quilt organizer for her princess room…thanks for being such a great supporter of the crafts and superb designer.
September 20th, 2010Oh Monica, those little bags are so precious! And I bought that magazine! It is the first quilt magazine I have purchase. You see, I WILL become a quilter this year!
September 20th, 2010I plan to make some of those little bags when I get finished with some pattern testing and then I have to make some leggings for Ahnalin. After that, a few bags will be my “Treat” to myself for being a good little soldier.
Happy Monday Monica! I hope your week is creative and happy.

September 21st, 2010Hi Monica, I love, love, love the bags! Even more, I love the photos. They are always crisp, clean and bright. What camera do you use?
Thanks for sharing!!!
September 21st, 2010Hi Monica,
September 21st, 2010I luv your little halloweenie totes…
I am hosting a “Halloween HO Down” camping trip the 1st weekend of October and these would make perfectly ‘boo-tiful’ gifts filled with treats for the girls…. It will be a group of us ‘Sisters on the Fly’ here in the Inland North West,,,and we want to squeeze in one more ‘Glamping trip’ before we tuck our vintage trailers away for the Winter.
I know the gals will love receiving these little cuties…Thanx for the idea.
>^..^
m, those bags are sooooooooo cute!!! i have the same blue lidded water bottle as you. that made me grin. :)
September 22nd, 2010I bought that magazine just for this little bags. So far, I’ve made four. I need to make more!
September 22nd, 2010Aren’t those the cutest little things. I bet they are fun to make too. Can’t make just one? Sort of like Lay’s potato chips?
September 23rd, 2010Oh Monica, your photos are so delicious! Just the bit of brightness & happiness I needed to see this morning. Your bags are adorable…I need to run out & grab a copy of that mag!
September 25th, 2010happy weekend, xo

September 25th, 2010What a fabulous eye you have. All these combinations are just darling. Total eye candy. Love it!
September 27th, 2010Absolutely gorgeous photos on your blog Monica! A visual feast!
September 28th, 2010I wish I had seen this before my retreat or I would have made those little bags for my family! I still can. Of course. And I will. I love tiny bags. They are so cute. Love them for halloween and for any time. Love that new Lecien fab. too. Fun stuff Monica. I think Pat’s new rulers are great.
September 28th, 2010I made Tiny Treats for my grandkids. So cute. Was wondering if you could share where you got the template for the name tags and how they are done.
Also, can I have permission to make some to sell at an upcoming faire?
So happy to find your blog through the Quilts and More.

September 30th, 2010I LOVE these little bag patterns…I bought that exact magazine for the little bags and the cute pincushion and lap top bag. I love the photos of the bags. I hope to make some very soon.

I know I left a comment on the day you posted but now I don’t see it. I love all the bags and am making similar ones for kids for Halloween.
October 2nd, 2010Those little bags are SO. Very. CUTE. I love the spider web fabric! I’m going to get that magazine NOW and make some myself. Thanks for sharing that pattern!
October 4th, 2010Of course the pattern is from YOU! :)
October 5th, 2010I didn’t notice until now, and I’ve already made two bags… so easy, cute and fun to make!!
I love your blog..it really makes me happy with all your beautiful stuff. Love the bags so much..^^
October 5th, 2010Greetings Ms happy Zombie,
October 6th, 2010Your Tiny Treat bags are gorgeous and I have made some.. quite a lot actually. I had them displayed pleasingly in my sewing studio, until I had a rather tragic incident here in Scotland UK. My 3 year Granddaughter took 12 beautiful Tiny Totes home, with the belief that I had made them for her. “Mama (that’s me)thank you for making these pretty bags for me.” she said, and I couldn’t tell her NO, could I? Anyhoo back to the cutting board. Thank you for a fab pattern.
