Snappy Scrappy Bags |

I’ve been tackling some big projects around the house. Primarily, renovating O-Man’s bathroom, which I’ll be sharing soon. That led into needing to totally revamp the linen closet (which had never been organized properly). So organizing the craft room continues to be put on the back burner. But, I can’t not participate in the monthly Craft Room De-Stash Challenge. After all, if I use up the supplies I have, it will be easier to organize the space! Whipping up a few of these snappy scrappy bags, perfect for holding gift cards, was a nice quick project for the challenge.

I’ve made these several times over the years. Because of that, I didn’t really think about taking pictures along the way (remember, focused on big house projects!).

The secret to making the snap closure is a retractable tape measure. The first time I made these, I was able to use a broken one. I’ve actually made enough of these to have needed to purchase a new tape measure just for these.

These worked up really quick since I had already pieced the fabric together. In one of the previous challenges, I shared my quick crazy quilt for fabric de-stash. Sometimes when I feel like sewing and don’t have an actual project in mind, I’ll stash bust through a scrap bin. Then, when I want to make something like these, it becomes a super fast project.

Of course, this is a great project using scrap fabric that is big enough to be only one or two fabrics.

Sometimes I make these little bags with a bit of fusible fleece and line in another fabric (or pieced fabric) and sometimes I line them with felt.

I don’t remember the tutorial I originally followed to make these, but I did find this tutorial which is similar to how I make my snappy scrappy bags. I think I might need to make some with a ruffle now! Now, let’s see what everyone made for the challenge!
