DIY Goody Bags

My sewing machine used to be my grandmother's. She probably bought it in the fifties, and it's so heavy I have to ask my husband to carry it to the table, but it still does the job wonderfully well!These goody bags would be perfect as a classroom treat or for party favours at a birthday party (as seen on Vlijtig). I used pages from an old Milk magazine, cut out squares about 15x15 cm (6"x6") and glued the outer ends together to make a tube. Then I sewed together one end, filled it with a mix of raisins and almonds, turned it 90 degrees and sewed together the other end. Presto! I left some thread at the ends, but you could also use zig zag scissors for an interesting twist.xxx Esther
