Christmas

I have a fun tutorial for you guys today! For ages I have wanted to switch to reusable fabric gift bags for Christmas gifts and this last year was the year! We got snowed in the week before Christmas so I put that time to good use sewing up a storm. It was such a fun and quick activity with so many ways customize and really make it your own, I thought I would share a how-to for you guys. I know there are like a gazillion tutorials for gift bags out there, but I decided to do a no-stress (or significantly less stressful) version for you based on what you have at home. Then, if you too are like me and you get snowed in you can still make some gift bags!

Supplies

• Fabric- as small as a fat quarter is great! I give more dimensions and samples at the end of the tutorial, but whatever you have on hand will work. Specifically Christmas themed is great, but anything will work really.
• Drawstring: ribbon, cording, twill tape, etc. If you don’t have anything (I didn’t), you can sew up double fold bias tape and make a drawstring out of that.
• Sewing machine and basic sewing supplies (cutting mat, rotary cutter, thread, iron, etc)
• A safety pin

I bet you guys have all of these things at home!
