The children seem to love them and they work up so quickly! You could even applique some fussy cut fabric from other halloween prints onto the front to dress them up.
I didn't have any little ones trick or treating this year so I have plenty of time to make them for next Halloween. I can probably still find some Halloween fabric on sale
I love watching your videos. I'm so tired of youtubers sticking their tongues out at Walmart or joann fabric. I want to say to them "Not all of us have moda or Riley Blake as sponsors". I've stopped subscribing to anyone that starts sounding like the quilt police. My great grandmother made beautiful quilts using old clothing and flour sacks. Thank you for not being a fabric snob.
Hello, thank you so much for your comment! I have to start with telling you that my grandmother and great grandmother made beautiful quilts with old clothing, as well! At around 7 years of age, I used to sit on the floor by the treadle sewing machine and hand my great grandmother little scraps of clothing that she had cut up into pieces to make crazy quilts. My mom still has three of those beautiful, old quilts. I’m definitely not a fabric snob, ha ha. I shop at a local discount department store that is only in the state of Maine called Mardens. (I actually did a video on it not too long ago). Anyway, the only time I get any brand name or pre-cut fabric is when it’s gifted to me. Talk about pricey!
Viola! You’ve done it, again! I made bags for the grands last yr & all I could think was I wish I’d seen your tutorial then!!! Your tips are right on & make such a difference! I do love Halloween! So now I can make future bags “the Marie Way” & perfection shall reign! 🎃👻🎃
These bags are so cute. I’m thinking of making some with different holiday fabrics to take as shopping bags. Happy Halloween! Can’t wait to hear about your cuddle time with grand baby.
Hi Marie - Great Halloween Trick or Treat bag tutorial. I wish I had something like this when I was small. But, I think these would be easy enough for me to make for two of my granddaughters who are close by. You have a great week!
What a perfect Halloween bag, Marie! I may have to make one for myself and go trick or treating! If I keep shrinking, I could easily pass myself off as a kid! I would just tell everyone I’m dressed as an old lady! Have a super duper day, Pretty Lady!
@@rachelburgener819 I’m a bit much at times, but I have so much fun with Marie, I feel like I’ve known her personally for a long time. This is such a nice group of people!
Loved this video. So cute. We don't get many Halloween trick/treaters here.Not many children live here.But I just may make some smaller ones and give them out with the treats in them. Cute even to put little gifts in at Christmas/ Easter. Thanks again for the idea and how to.
Marie you had me wondering what you were doing there for a moment! Then the magic happens when you turn the bag right side out! This Halloween bag is so cute, easy to make, and also would make a great gift bag or small shopping bag! I have a lot of fat quarters so I will be making a few of these. Thanks for the video Marie, I love watching you!!!🎃👻💀
The Halloween bag is adorable but I think I will do some of these for Christmas. The grandkids would love these esp. the little girls. They would also work well for extra Christmas gifts to keep on hand for the mail carrier and the likes. Thank you.
You smashed it out the park again sweetness haha...I have never seen such a neat way of turning a bag. Oh and those pillowcases were our angel outfits, our hot water bottle covers and Santa's sacks lol I'm sure there's many more...sew on with the halloween bag 😃
I love your simple Halloween bag! I am looking forward to making them for my grandkids! I had bought some glow-in-the dark Halloween patches, they will look so cute on the bag.
Hi Marie, greetings from Melbourne Australia. I love your Halloween Bags, but am also thinking great for Christmas gifts as well. Hope this finds you well.
I'm trying... the day after I did my What's up Wednesday last week, my husband went into the hospital. So, everything has been crazy around here between him and my Mom.
Adding to my last comment; the pattern works for Christmas bags, too! I live in a retirement building, and many ladies like that size bag for carrying small items around with them!❤😊
Yes, it would work with any fabric, for sure! I needed a themed video that week, since it was close to Halloween at the time, so I just happened to make it for Halloween. I bet your ladies WOULD love them - great idea! 💕
I realize this video is old but I really like this pattern and I want to make quite a few. ?? Finished bag measures approximately 10 x 12 is that about right? Also, those corner stitches to hold the two layers together, are they supposed to end up at the top of the bag or should they end up at the bottom of the bag? Love your video and hope to see more
Hi Linda! I’ve actually made quite a few bag videos and this is a beginner friendly one and quite popular. I’m glad you liked it! When you sew those two parts together, they should end up at the inside bottom of your bag. I show the same method in all my tote bag tutorials, even though I often “box” the corners of the regular tote bags. I hope I was a bit helpful!
Marie did you make your wrist pin cushion if so could you show us how you made it.thanks for sharing your treat bag❤.I am going to make three for the triplets in the family their five years old two girls and a boy they will love them.
Hi Dorothy! Yes, I did make the wrist pincushion and I have a tutorial for it, which I will link at the end of this comment. I’m so glad you enjoyed the Halloween bag and I hope you have a lot of fun making them. I’m sure the children will enjoy them, and be happy that you made them some! Happy sewing! ua-cam.com/video/pLkNmFHWzCk/v-deo.htmlsi=6bRokkcc4QenMqQB
Hello Angela and thank you so much for such a sweet comment! I hope you enjoy sewing these for your grandchildren and I bet they're going to love them!
I've never used a sewing machine in my life. I've inherited one and decided to try using it. I've just made this bag today and it turned out great. Thanks!
Such a great tutorial, you made a beautiful bag and explained it great I am going to make some of these for my little ones thank you so much for sharing I love it!
Thank you so much! This girl as my first time here, and I already made one of these. This was easy and fun to make, very good tutorial. I'm making one for each grandchild 😊
Hi! Yes, I am 🙂 I'm from Augusta, but I live in Aroostook County now. Hello, fellow Mainer 👋 I'm glad you found the video helpful! Have fun sewing 🧵🪡✂️❤️
I keep returning to this pattern because it's so easy and I've used this in combination with your scrappy charm autumn tote bag to make a gift bag. I'm going to use it for a quilted shoulder tote bag next. Thank you for sharing your ideas and sewing tips with everyone.
Wonderful! I am so happy to hear how helpful you have found this video. You definitely made me smile. Thank you so much for watching and for your comment
Yikes... yeah, I ran into that too, as I'm sure you saw at the beginning of my video. The only thing I can suggest is if you have enough of the same fat quarters , you could cut them down the middle and piece them together. I hope that makes sense! Best of luck!
That's what I was thinking, and since they're for trick or treating I think being patchy would be cute! Thanks for responding, your video was so helpful in getting me back into one of my favorite hobbies. You are appreciated 💛
Hi Marie, love your tutorial, to make it easy in turning the straps instead of safety pin I use a straw and a bamboo skewer its easy trick much faster no struggles try it 🤗 just make sure to sew one end side put the straw inside the strap than take the the skewer stick pushing inside bringing it to the other end then pull the rest out walla turned the strap inside out😁😊🤗 the straw makes it supper easy🤩😍
I'm glad you enjoyed this tutorial. As far as the straps go, normally I don't make a strap this way, as they're not my favorite way to go. I like to put batting (or interfacing) inside most straps that I make. I have seen people use that straw method before (with larger straws), but the only straws I have are the little plastic ones for soda and I don't think that much fabric would fit through that. Would it? Now you have me wondering, hahaha.
@@MariesScrappyCreations good morning Marie, love all your tutorials & projects, may I ask where you from are you in connecticut? I want to catch you in one of your live stream ,I'm from the big Apple New York 🤗😁😍 "Bronx" live across the East River from the airport🤗😁🙃love your scissors where did you purchased the most of my scissor don't last me is amazing we have so much in common I have the same sewing table but with one drawer also the light behind the sewing machine love your set up Marie get well soon
Good morning, Ada! Thank you so much, your enthusiasm makes me smile! Normally, I put out a tutorial Sunday mornings at 5 am EST and then on Wednesday at 10 am is my usual live stream of What’s Up Wednesday. I used to film the WUW, but most recently, I have been doing them as a livestream so I don't have to edit, as well as I love to connect with all of my subscribers. It's just been since I have been sick these last 2 weeks that my schedule is way off because I didn't have anything filmed ahead. I actually live in northern Maine, not in Connecticut. Maybe we were talking about Connecticut in a video? Probably the time where my sister-in-law came in to the chat (theyre in CT). I have always wanted to visit New York City, you're so lucky! My husband was born there (in Brooklyn). His mother was from here in Maine and went down there and met a man, had my hubby and then ended up coming "home" a few months later.
When I saw you cut the straps and said, "You get enough strips for two straps," I thought, why not make a handle out of each strap and then the straps would match the lining and the bag. So, make one cut and have one set of handles and the rest of the material would be for the bag. Just have a larger bag.
Can we make a fully lined Trick or Treat bag, complete with handles from just two fat quarters??? Join me while we do just that, as well as we'll make sure to hide any opening we make!
You'll need two fat quarters or yardage equivalent for this project!

I remember when I was younger Halloween was for 3 days of trick or treating. 😊 Donna from Pennsylvania
This is a great Halloween bag. It would make a great bag for any occasion. I really like the process you used.
My birthday is Halloween and this bag would be cute to make.
I will have to make a couple of these Halloween bags for my great grandchildren
The children seem to love them and they work up so quickly! You could even applique some fussy cut fabric from other halloween prints onto the front to dress them up.
My favorite season of the year is Halloween.
You are a good teacher!😍
Very nice Marie going to make some for my grand babies thank you for sharing have a great day all the best Donna from Canada
Good morning Marie. It is 7am here.

Thank you so much!
Very nice style 👌
Thank you 😊
Love the Halloween bag. This pattern would be useful to put any gift in it for a child using fabric to match the hoilday.

Halloween
Thanks!
This is a great tutorial to teach someone how to make a bag. Especially if it is their first time sewing.
I found it faster to sew one end of the tube closed and turn it using a chop stick.
When I saw you cut the straps and said, "You get enough strips for two straps," I thought, why not make a handle out of each strap and then the straps would match the lining and the bag. So, make one cut and have one set of handles and the rest of the material would be for the bag. Just have a larger bag.
Hi Richard! I thought of the exact same thing... right as I was filming myself cutting it. Like you say, a bit wider of a bag. Ah well, lol.
