Halloween Sew Together Bag

We are having a secret Santa exchange at work.  I drew Kate's name, and I made her a Sew Together Bag.  Kate loves Halloween, so I used Halloween fabric.

If I were making this again, I would have changed the way the pumpkins are oriented, but overall, I'm pleased with this bag.  I took my time and tried to do my best sewing.  Kate was in the Sew Together bag class that I took earlier this year, so I know she will appreciate all the time I spent making this for her.

I sewed the binding by hand to make it as neat as I could.  If it were for me, I probably would have machine sewn it.  

My zippers went in well, but I just saw a tutorial I may use next time that shows how to make fabric zipper stops.

I had enough time to embroider a label for the inside.    I filled the bag with Christmas chocolates and wrapped it in green Stonehenge fabric, a favorite of Kate. 

 This was such a fun gift to make, and I can't wait to give it to her at our reveal party!
