	Patternlets Pumpkin Bag Ideas P05 Pumpkin Patternlet (or any of the patternlets!) FOR A PRINTABLE INSTRUCTION PAGE, CLICK ON THE PICTURE I purchased a pre-made denim bag from my local craft store and appliqued the pumpkin to the front (I used the machine to put on the buttonhole stitch. It was just a matter turning the bag so there was nothing behind it. Sew, turn, sew, turn, etc. It was actually a lot easier than I thought it would be) Then I cut a strip of orange fabric 2 1/2" wide and enough length to get around your bag plus properly overlap in the back. Turn the strip with the wrong side up and fold the front edges of the strip to the back and meeting in the center. Iron all edges. (Be sure to turn under one end of the strip and press. This will be the edge that overlaps the other edge in the back of the back to give it a nice, clean finish.) Pin the strip to the top edge of the bag, and sew a seam along the top and bottom edge. Embellish with buttons.
Patternlets Curtain Ideas P05 Pumpkin Patternlet (or any of the patternlets) Make your favorite patternlet into a curtain or valance. You can also mix patternlets- for instance, use P05 Pumpkin and P06 Turkey for great Thanksgiving decor. I made this one a double thickness (the back is lined with the same orange fabric as the top of the valance) Depending on how much ruffle you want, measure your window and make the width of your valance either 1 1/2 or 2 times this length.
	Patternlets Winter Sweatshirt Ideas Combine P01, P02, and P04 to make this sweatshirt to keep you warm through all of the winter months! And add more embellishment as it suits you! Buttons around the neckline, or stitch a cute saying like "Happy Winter" or "North Pole Bound"
Patternlets Fall Sweatshirt Ideas Combine P05 and P06 to make this sweatshirt. Add a saying like "Be Thankful" or "Pass the Stuffing"
	Patternlets Bag Ideas P01 Snowman Patternlet (or any of the patternlets!) Use this pattern to make a gift bag to put your towel or other goodies into. Simply trace the patterns onto paper or cardstock (you will probably have to make templates first to trace around), cut out, and glue onto a paper bag, a gift wrapped in kraft paper (and write To: and From: on his belly) or even size down on your scanner or at your local printing or office store and put on the front of a blank card!
Patternlets Ornament Ideas P03 Square Snowman Patternlet Use this pattern to make cute, little ornaments for your tree or as gifts. You could even make a towel, roll it up, and attach an ornament to the front with raffia or ribbon. To make these, simply follow the directions on the pattern, except cut the large square to 3 1/2" for seam allowance. I used very thin jute or hemp string, but you could also use thin ribbon.
	Frankie Denim Bag This is a large denim tote bag I purchased from Joann Fabrics. It's 18"w x 13"h x 4"d. I cut a square 10"x10" for the background square and purchased 4 large buttons for each corner. I did a buttonhole stitch around the edge of the square.Follow the patternlet directions for making the Frankie. I purchased one black bandana and twisted it and tacked it down with black thread in several places. Add two buttons to each end of the bandana.
Candy Corn Gift Bags This is super easy and a great bag to put the matching towel in as a gift! It is an 8x10x4.5 kraft paper bag. The orange background square is cut to 5x5 and the smaller black square is cut to 4x4. Both squares are adhered using fusible web, just like the candy corn. There is no stitching involved, just use a thin, black marker to write the words "From One Corny Friend... To Another!" Add one orange and one black ribbon tied around the handle.
	Candy Corn Goodie Bag I loved this one! Easy and a great gift for friends, teachers, and kids! Cut two pieces of black fabric to 5.5"x8.5". On one piece of fabric, place your Candy Corn (follow patternlet directions) on top, approximately 1-1/4" above the bottom edge and stitch using a buttonhole stitch. Lay one piece of fabric on top of the other with right sides together. Using pinking shears, cut the top edge of the bag (one of the 5.5" sides). Sew a 1/4" seam along the two, long sides and the bottom. Turn the bag right sides out and fill with your goodies. Tie 1 piece each of a brown, orange and black ribbon into a bow to close the top. For the tag, I just printed "from one "corny" friend to another" on the computer, cut into a rectangle and clipped the top corners to resemble a tag. Punch a hole to run one strand of the ribbon through and age the edges using a brown ink pad.
Candy Corn Denim Bag Purchase a 10"w x 9"h x 3"d denim bag. Cut a block 6.5"h x 8"w from a black background fabric and also a piece of heat n bond lite. Iron the heat n bond to the back of the background piece and then iron the block to your bag. Place three of the candy corns on top of the background block (follow directions on patternlet for applying fusible web, etc.) Sew around each candy corn piece and around the edge of the background block using a buttonhole or blanket stitch. Hand-sew a wooden button in each corner of the block.
