Lined Drawstring Bags

I've had the pattern for Jeni Baker's Lined Drawstring Bags for over a year but didn't make one until the Twas' The Night blog hop.  It's what I chose to make for the hopper I sent a gift to.  Now that my day is over I can show you it.


Then I made another one yesterday.  A bit smaller and this one only took me an hour.  Partly because I knew what I was doing and also because I didn't make the handles but used some ribbon instead.
 I love these bags.   
The pattern has 8 sizes to choose from and directions for creating your own custom size.
You can also see how Sara Lawson added an outside pocket to it here on her blog.
I'm gonna have to try that on my next one.  :)
