Make a Halloween Candy Bag  for your little ghoul by following these simple steps.

STEP 1

Cut 2 -11×12″ pieces of fabric for the outside of the bag and 2 more for the inside lining of the bag.  I used the gray Halloween fabric for outside and the orange for the lining.  You can always make the bag bigger than this by adding a few inches to the height and width.  My daughter is little so she doesn’t need a pillowcase yet.  Ha!

STEP 2

Placing the right sides together, sew a quarter inch seam around the two long sides and bottom of the outer fabric, leaving the top of it open.  Do the same thing to the liner fabric but leave a small opening in the bottom of it for turning.

STEP 3

Fold the corners down and sew approximately an inch from the edge of the fabric making a mitered corner.  Do this on both the outside fabric and lining.  Cut the corners off.

STEP 4

Take the lining and place it inside of the outside fabric.  The outside and lining fabric is still turned wrong sides out.  Then sew a quarter inch seam around the top of the fabrics.  Pull the lining out of the bag and then turn it all right sides out. Iron it out and sew a quarter inch seam around the outside of the top of the bag.

STEP 5

I made the straps quite short by cutting a 3x 16″ piece of fabric, folding it in half lengthwise, ironing it, and sewing a quarter inch seam down the edge.  Flip it right side out and cut it in half making 2- 1.5×8″ straps.  Tuck the fabric in on itself about a half inch and iron.  NOTE:  You can always make these longer by adding inches to the length.

STEP 6

Pin the straps to the outside of the bag ( I pinned mine about an inch and a half away from the outside of the bag ).  Sew the straps on to the bag.  I always sew a rectangle with an x through it.

That is all there is to it!  Easy!  I added a fabric flower to my little ghoul’s to make it more girlie.  I did a fabric flower tutorial that you can use to make the flower if you want.  HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
