Fabric gift bags sure are habit forming! My quest to give
gifts in reusable (and preferably handmade) wrapping has spilled over from
Christmas gifts to birthday presents. Using the Drawstring Bag Pattern from Jeni of In Color Order as a
guide, I made two bags to fit specific items for my sweet girl’s birthday,
using fabric* from my stash. Being a toddler, she was much more interested in
the toys themselves, so I reused the bags for the next family birthdays only a
few days later.
Giving gifts in pretty, reusable fabric bags gives me such
nice warm fuzzy feelings that I don’t think I’ll be able to stop anytime soon.
I’m already eyeing the scraps from these two bags and planning the next
birthday bag.
*Fabric used was part of a Happy! by Me and My Sister Designs for Moda jelly roll for the main sections, blue Sketch fabric by Timeless Treasures and purple small chevrons by Riley Blake Designs for the drawstring sections,
and an unidentified fabric from Spill the Beans by Barb Tourtillotte for
Clothworks.
Love your gift bags! I think I caught the bug from you!
