Packaging: French Clip Art

August 16, 2011 By Spoonful of Sugar - 11 Comments

I discovered lots of lovely French Clip Art today over at The Graphics Fairy, including a free label of the French Chocolat Cafe.

I resized the image and printed it on some little white paper bags. I added some striped grosgrain ribbon and Japanese washi masking tape.

Perfect little gift bags for chocolates or treats.

I was inspired to print on paper bags after seeing the Halloween Bags over at Domestic Anarchy.
I have linked this project up to Brag Monday at the Graphics Fairy.

Sharing a closer look at the Handy Drawstring Pouc Sharing a closer look at the Handy Drawstring Pouch today — a sweet little project that’s as practical as it is pretty. I stitched this one in the blue and gold colourway of the Tilda Songbird collection and love how the soft watercolour florals shine in a small make. The pouch features cleverly shaped panels (with no boxed corners), stands tall when in use, and folds completely flat for storage. It’s also reversible, which makes it such a fun and versatile sew.   These little pouches are perfect for organising your sewing room, gifting to a friend, or popping into a project bag.The pattern includes three sizes, and you can find it in both my Pattern Store and Etsy shop. Comment HANDY and I’ll send the link straight to your inbox.A big thank you to @tilda_australia for gifting the beautiful fabric.#tildasongbird #drawstringbagpattern #aspoonfulofsugardesigns #tildafabrics #sewingproject
