Easy
to Make Gift Bags
A couple of years ago I decided to “go green” and
wrap ALL of my holiday gifts in re-usable gift bags. I took advantage
of after-holiday fabric sales and “Christmas in July” sales
to amass a bunch of holiday fabric.
It was a lot of work, but not as much as I thought it would be.
For me, sewing is fun and I can do some things pretty quickly so
it really wasn’t much more time consuming than traditional
paper wrapping (especially since I like to decorate every package).
Friends and extended family members got a kick out of opening
their beautifully decorated bags and my Christmas tree looked particularly
festive with all the beautiful fabric covered gifts and decorative
ribbons. So, even though my kids thought it a bit odd at first,
it turned out to be a real success (and I have all the bags I used
for the family to use again this year). So, if you want to download
