I Spy Bag

I'm making I Spy bags for my son's friend's birthdays this year. They are great in the car, doctor's appointment, church, etc.
Here's what you'll need:
  • 5" square of plastic vinyl (bought in a fabric section)
  • 2- 2 x 5" strips of fabric
  • 2- 2 x 7.5" strips of fabric
  • 7.5" square of fabric
  • polly pellets (bought at a craft store)
  • an assortment of items to "spy"
Here's what to do:
  1. Sew the 5" strips of fabric to either side of the 5"square of plastic.

2. Sew the 7.5" strips to the other sides of the plastic to frame it.
3. Top stitch around the plastic

4. Sew the back of the bag placing right sides together and leaving an opening to fill the bag. Clip the corners and turn right side out.

5. Place the "spy" items in the bag and fill with polly pellets until the bag is about 2/3 full. Whip or blind stitch the opening.Write on a label some of the items to find and stitch it to the back...and you're DONE!
Easy!
