Toiletry Gift Bags

During the mad Christmas Present purchasing frenzy, I was unable to find already-created gift baskets that I liked at Bath & Body Works. So, I decided to sew up a few cute little gift bags and create my own.

I didn't just want shabby little draw-string bags, though, I wanted something a tad more chic. So I did a hack on this tutorial, made my own patterns to ensure everything fit inside and came up with these:

Not half bad for my 3rd project with my new sewing machine. I would have loved to have cute buttons and perhaps some ribbons/lace embellishments, but a) my sewing machine doesn't do button holes and b) I was running out of time!
