I've used this pattern for a bunch of birthday party gift bags.....certainly a way to use random fabric, and I feel like it's much better than wasting paper bags, or gift wrap...something they'll use, rather than go directly into the trash! I put in each bag an inexpensive sparkly t-shirt, plus inexpensive matching necklace/bracelet combination. The girls loved them!

I used the tutorial from In Color Order to make some knitting bags! Blogged at esposetta.blogspot.com/2013/09/halloween-sampler-week-two....
After a fruitless attempt at finding suitable paperboard suitcases for these sets, had to resort to making a little lined drawstring bag to house the contents:
Applique flannel/washcloth to match the bag
Pink Flower Hairbrush
Pink Flower Toothbrush
Bath Fizzer
Bath Stars
Always makes me smile at how little girls are drawn to the bright pink :)
a little easy sewing last night, made using the excellent tutorial from:
sotakhandmade.blogspot.co.nz/2013/05/drawstring-bag-tutor...
Quite a lot of treats are able to fit into this bag.
followed Svetlana's (s.o.t.a.k handmade) tutorial to create this drawstring bag but pieced the front and the back, tried the pow-wow pattern by cluckclucksew and skipped the label.
Another view of the knitted treasure bag. This is my adaptation of this free pattern on Ravelry:

The yarn is hand dyed 100% wool. It is very soft. Knit it on small needles to make the knitted fabric dense.
followed again Svetlana's (s.o.t.a.k handmade) tutorial. This time I made the drawstring bag bigger, sewed a label onto felt (instead of leather), added a piece of fabric to hang the bag and sewed strings.

Here we have the new photos of my bags done by a great photographer friend. Over time he will be upgrading my photos for me! Kabalah Tree of Life Hand embroidered with metallic threads. This bag is big enough for a large sized Tarot Deck (e.g. Thoth) or Oracle Cards. People have also used these bags for jewellery, crystals, runes and more!
Amidst the vibrant energy of an outdoor gathering, a woman in a striking black lace top and intricate leg harnesses, coolly fans herself, perhaps contemplating the bold fashion choices of the man in the eye-catching, multi-colored shirt beside her. Her ensemble, highlighting her décolletage and legs, perfectly complements his flamboyant attire, as they both navigate the lively atmosphere, proving that keeping cool can be as stylish as the party itself.
I used Jeni's of In Color Order drawstring bag tutorial (incolororder.blogspot.com/2011/10/lined-drawstring-bag-tu...) and then an add on (docs.google.com/document/d/1X-liXCX7pB7vY1FYyYrR84kYkFaEL...) to add the pockets by Terri at Sew Fantastic.

* Fabric for your bag >>
Figure out what size bag you would like. Then to those measurements add 1/2″ on the left and right side and 2″ to the top for seam allowance and your drawstring casing. The bottom should be the fold of the bag. Notch the sides of the bag 2″ down from the top. Your pattern should look like this.
The bag I made will measure 9″ x 10″ after it is sewn. That means my pattern will be 10″ x 12″ or (9″ + 1/2″ + 1/2″) x (10″ + 2″).
Don’t forget to cut on a fold!
* Drawstring. I used cotton twill tape measuring 1/2″ wide. A pretty ribbon will just as well.
* Large eyed needle to thread the drawstring (a bobby pin or small safety pin will work too)
* Thread
* Scissors or thread clippers
* Sewing machine or thread and needle if you want to hand sew
followed again Svetlana's (s.o.t.a.k handmade) tutorial. This time I adjusted the size of the drawstring bag again, added strings and fabric pieces to create a backpack bag (inspired by this tutorial and a friend's idea). I added felt and a label again.

Enlarged & modified the Day Bag pattern by Nicole Mallalieu with drawstring closure & an elastic pocket for ipad...my favorite knitting tool! This was an experiment that still needs a little work...I don't like zipper closures for knitting bags since I always zip my yarn into the zipper at some point but I think this drawstring top is a little too big for this bag & wish the bag was a little bigger. WIP...
Misses and Woman's Bags: Style 1. a utility bag and Style2 a hand bag are both finished with a drawstring. Style 3 is smartly trimmed with saddle stitching, is an attractive knitting bag. Style 4 with a change purse at he side, makes the ideal shopping bag. For a convenient beach bag, use Style 6 ,make style 5 smaller and add a longer strap for the perfect shoulder bag.
