Reuseable gift bags for Christmas



You can get rid of pesky wrapping paper and enjoy these reusable gift bags for years to come.  Great way to use up scraps of fabric you have laying around.  I used the tutorial from this blog:  http://sewmanyways.blogspot.com/2010/12/tool-time-tuesdayhandmade-fabric-gift.html  I like her tutorial because the ribbon or trim whatever you want to use to tie the bags are attached to the bags and I don't have to do a casing.  This is a great beginner project or a great project to teach to the kids or grandkids.

These were both fun and easy to sew!   Happy sewing
