DIY * Pie bag

Here is the step by step tutorial to making your own pie carrier. In France we use these to carry a pie or cake, or even a quiche to a picnic spot or if you are invited for dinner to someone's house and you are asked to bring dessert. This version is made of waxed fabric so it can be wiped easily. The colours and patterns are up to you ! If you lack time or can't be bothered, the pie bags will soon be available from Mrs Monkey's online shop !

Place the edging trim along the straight edge of one of the half squares, open side facing outwards. Place the handle on top, ends facing out, and sew along the trim. Put a second half square on top, right sides facing each other, and sew along the same line. Repeat for the second half of the top of the bag.
