The document outlines a project for making 'grab bags' designed by Bonnie Kozowski, featuring instructions for cutting and assembling the bags from various fabrics. It includes detailed steps, measurements, and diagrams to guide the creation of the bags, which are suitable for personal use only and cannot be reproduced without permission. Additionally, the patterns and materials needed are specified for both cotton and heavier weight fabrics.
