An easy to make Envelope Bag

Wendy has made some great envelope bags out of some of her weavings. They are so easy to do and I thought it would be a great way to use up some of the quilted pieces I have around from various projects. You have to start with a square and then it's a simple fold. I took a paper pieced block I had made in a class a few years back, stitched it to a piece of flannel and turned it right side out. I'll probably do a bit of stitching on this before I make the envelope shape but I wanted to show it to you. So here it is. Thank you Wendy.
