Free Pattern: Loopy Bags

One of my first spring designs, clear back in 2012, were these little bunny treat bags. They are quick and easy to make up and work great to hide for egg hunts as a special surprise. The pattern continues to be a popular one.

They have been a lot of fun and people have made them into a lot of cute variations. Scroll down to see more pix. If you need items for craft fairs these are a perfect choice!
