Hubby and I got married last October. My sister-in-law humored my crazy projects and helped me make custom Welcome Bags for Out of Town guests. They turned out so cute! All I did was purchase discount upholstery fabric, cut some handles, and she sewed about 20 bags. I filled them with mints, notepads, gum, maps, a welcome note, bottles of water, trail mix, etc. I wanted to make sure our guests who came from another state were nice and comfy :) We dropped these off at the hotel for the guests to receive as they checked in. I was very pleased with the way the bags turned out and we received many compliments!
They were pretty easy, too! I believe we just cut 9 X 18 inch rectangles, then she sewed the handles on the 9 inch edges, and finished up by sewing up the sides.
