Ok, I’ve skipped Wednesday through Friday’s bags.  Those need finishing touches still and, well, Friday’s bag never happened.  I was too busy finishing a book, I confess, and being generally lazy.

Today, my theme is Gift bags.  I’m so “into” these; they’re reusable, and oftentimes much cuter than their paper counterpart.  I discovered fabric gift bags last year, and began making and using them then.   I have a stash for my own family that I use, as well as some that I make for others as part of their gift.

This year, I’m offering a series of them, in varying sizes.  The first style I’m offering was today’s project.

This bag is made from a winter white linen with a gingham candy cane applique.  Made with gorgeous french seams, I am really pleased with the results.  It’s a gift in itself!

Tie it closed with the drawsting to hide the goodies inside.  Measures 15×14″.  Available at my shop.
