Manly Treat Bag revisted
June 08, 2009
I received some questions about the Man's shirt treat bag featured in this post. Some of you wondered why I made it so small since the smallest cello bag SU sells is 3" x 5". This is a great question and here's why. When I thought about making this treat bag I thought that I would used the Sizzix Scallop bag die (I think the real reason was I wanted to buy the die). By using the die I only had to do the scoring for the collar.
Here is the treat bag re-done to use the SU 3 x 5 cello bag.
Here are the 2 shirts. I guess you could also say one is a medium shirt and the other extra large. The basic construction is the same. Here are the new measurements: 3 1/4" x 9 3/4". score at 4" and 5". The side that is longer is where you will score and cut for the collar. Place the 3 1/4" side at the top and measure down 3/4" on both sides and from the 3/4" measure and cut 1" in.
Fold the tabs in to form the collar. Add the buttons, pocket and top stitich as you please! I just realized that you could also add a little pocket on the inside and insert a gift card. Brilliant huh? I hope I am the one who gets to go when he uses this gift card! My hostess clubs are making this project this month. I hope they like it! I forgot to tell you that this paper is from the Sweet Slumber Specialty pack. It is a ittle heavier and textured, it looks like seersucker. This pack as well as the original paper I used, Parisian Breeze is on the Last Chance Accesories list. Hurry and order it before they are gone!
Hey Sharon,
Thank you so much for sharing this great project.
My clubs loved it.
Don't know what I'd do without you
