The bags are fantastic. I make family photo calendars every year and have saved them since my kids were little. I'm inspired to dig into and make some for family Christmas gifts for grandparents! Thanks to all for sharing!!!

Thank you, Paula! Yes, that thread gave me a bunch of trouble at first, and it's so difficult to see. I have a few more Mary Engelbreit calendars to use up and then I'm going to search some thrift shops for materials. I just love, love, love the bag idea and it's so awesome to see the what other sisters have come up with!

I love those bags. Jenny, your blog article was so fun to read too. What was the name of that transparent thread again? hehehe. This is a good refresher for that upcoming Holiday season. I think I now have a few ideas for making my own Christmas gift bags!

Your bags turned out great! They're fun to make, aren't they?

Has anyone else made the calendar bags from the MJ's book?
I did a couple to play with.
Being a pack rat, I have a few old calendars to do this with.
Whatcha think?
It was fun.

These are great!! Where do I find the instructions/pattern to make these? How difficult are they? I am not friends with my sewing machine so the easier the better. :)
Excuse the mess & the noise, my children are making happy memories |

They were fun to make.
I think I'll make a couple more as I've been saving calendars these last couple years...
This might be a good one to put in the magazine one of these issues!
Just a thought...

I hope they do put it in the magazine because I don't have the book!!! :) I'd love to make some horse ones as I have lots of horse calendars and a couple of horse crazy kidlets. :)

I fell in love with these bags as soon as I saw them in the book. You ladies did a good job on them, they look great. I have these on my "project list" as well. I can't wait to make them!
