Christmas Retro Drawstring Bags

October 29, 2016 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 5 Comments

Christmas Retro Drawstring Bags - sewing tutorial by A Spoonful of Sugar

The Retro Drawstring Bags were so much fun create (you can find our free tutorial here ). Here is a Christmas variation, featuring an English Paper Pieced Hexagon. They are made from the super cute Christmas fabric range, Flower Sugar Holiday by Lecien Fabrics, available from Ministry of Fabric and Sew Stitching Happy. Flower Sugar Holiday is perfect for fussy cutting – it features stars, ornaments, and candy elements.

I used a Fiskars Hexagon Squeeze Punch, Medium  to punch out the 1/2 inch hexagon papers needed for the hexagon flower. These little fully lined drawstring bags measure 4 1/2 x 6 1/2 inches – perfect for holding a small gift or a gift card.
