Tartan is a classic colour scheme for Christmas decorating and you can find lots of tartan fabric in traditional Christmas colours of green and red. I had a bundle of Christmas tartan in my stash and it has a lovely gold thread through it – perfect for holiday gift bags. If you are looking for a quick and easy sewing project that will make a lovely gift, I have just the thing for you: the Pocketful of Sunshine Bag!
This bag is perfect for wrapping small presents and adding a personal touch. It has a cute external pocket where you can slip in a gift card or a gift tag with a message. You can make it in any fabric you like, but I think it looks especially festive in tartan/plaid. I add a low volume print for the bag exterior to freshen up the tartan for a lighter look.

I love the external pocket – ideal for add a gift card or gift message. The bag has a flat base so it stands up by itself.
The pattern for the Pocketful of Sunshine Bag is available in our Etsy Store and Pattern Shop. It is a beginner-friendly project that you can whip up in an hour or less. Plus, it is eco-friendly and reusable, so you can save on wrapping paper and plastic bags.
