Holiday Season- Drawstring Gift Bag

Normally I am very last minute with preperations for Christmas.

When I was tidying up my fabrics I found the holiday prints I got last year and it was too late to do anything with them.

I made them into gift bags with drawstring closure.

 I have two cute prints and a traditional choice.

 These snowmen and snowflakes are very fresh and modern.

The reindeer are so cute with their rosy cheeks and button noses. I am big fan of red and aqua combinations.

 I lined the bag fully with no exposed seams

 The corners are boxed so it can stand up and gives it a smarter look I think.

This fabric is my favourite so it gets two photos!

Are you preparing for Christmas?

Christmas Stockings

Christmas has been on my mind, as I don't normally do anything for Halloween. I have been looking at fabrics and after much deliberation, have bought this lovely patterned cream and red.

Rich Red Batik

The plan is to make stockings with it. I was thinking a classic stocking in the cream, with a red cuff.

There are many tutorials out there, pintrest has loads if you are not sure how to make them. I am so excited-will start this on Saturday

Handmade Holidays- aka Handmade Christmas

Make this Christmas -Holiday Season special by offering handmade gifts to your loved ones. And if you are a crafter, don't forget to make something for those in need. A blanket or a knitted hat can help someone in the streets stay warm. Share joy and goodwill.
