Happy Halloween Ghostly Drawstring Bag - Halloween Spooktacular Challenge 2025

[AIMR (Linda -In the year 2025, I am happy to be alive! :us:)]

After making the Boo-tiful Bag, I went straight into using the second cross-stitch to make another.

Originally, I was going to do another project using the two pieces but I realized that I used two different sizes of Aida cloth so the black background ghost came out larger! Oh, well.

I wanted to use up some of my stash of Halloween fabrics so that I can buy new ones. Again, I used a mix of fabrics, made a frame around the ghost, and lined it with a purple spider web fabric. This one went a bit faster than the first because I didn’t goof the construction.

Back:

Size reference. It’s about 8x11.

Purple spider web lining.

I am going to use them as project bags for Halloween socks and stitching.

I love this one even more than the first. That back fabric is gorgeous and I love the color combos and overall look, plus your ghost is just adorable.
