Christmas Gift Bag

November 29, 2020 By A Spoonful of Sugar - Leave a Comment

Fabric gift bags are eco-friendly and are a great sustainable option. They can be re-used year after year. This year, I have added to my gift bag collection with these Handy Drawstring Bags. It is like giving two gifts in one – the bag and the gift inside. Best of all they can be reused year after year.

These handy drawstring bags can be easily made in around an hour and are perfect for wrapping a smallish gift. They suit square gifts and have a clever construction method that used shaped panels rather than having to “box corners”. Very quick and beginner friendly. The pdf sewing pattern is available in my Etsy store for immediate download.

How cute is this little sewing machine ornament that I found recently at Typo ? Perfect for decorating my sewing room this holiday season.

These handy drawstring bags coordinate perfectly with the Jingle Bell Coaster set I made recently. They feature the super sweet Polar Magic fabric range by Lemoni for Figo Fabrics.

The Handy Drawstring Bag is very versatile pattern. In fact it is my best selling pattern this year. If you need more gift bag inspiration, check out the bags I have made –
