Saturday’s bag….for holiday gifts
by cute2carry ~ November 8th, 2008. Filed under: Handbag Projects, Shop Cute2Carry.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.
