Lined Drawstring Bags with Olive the Ostrich- Plus, a Giveaway!

Olive the Ostrich Fabric
When I was contacted by Laurie Wisbrun about trying out some of her new fabric line, you had better believe I was super excited.  YES!!!
002
This new line features pairs of loveable ostrich, valentine-y heart prints, and a great coordinating pattern that may be my favorite of the whole line.  I wanted to make something for my girls, so the lined drawstring bag tutorial from In Color Order was the perfect choice.  Looks like someone else thought so too…
006
Ah!  An ostrich friend.  Definitely popular with the ostrich friends.
005
This gray heart print is the perfect gray, just so you know.  I loved it.
010
My girls have been using their bag as a holder of their pretend pixie-dust, which is really just all their sparkly necklaces, headbands, and bracelets.  They grab the imaginary dust and say “Pixie Dust away!!” It is really cute :)
013
These bags are really great to use as gift bags too.  A little 6-year-old friend got this one as her gift bag last week at her birthday party.
009
TOO cute, right?
002
Would you like a fat quarter pack of this fabric??  Robert Kaufman and Laurie Wisbrun have this lovely stack for you!! Leave a comment and I’ll pick a winner on Sunday!
Pin It!
