Make the gift bag – part of the gift!
Looking for a quick project that lets you dig into that stash of holiday fabrics – and get those gifts wrapped? I’ve found the perfect one! The talented folks at Connecting Threads are offering a free scrappy gift bag pattern, and it’s just the kind of project that’s fun, fast, and oh-so-satisfying to make.
This design is scrap-friendly, which means it’s a great excuse to finally use some of those beautiful holiday prints you’ve been saving. It comes together quickly—ideal for a cozy weekend of sewing or a last-minute gift wrap idea.
I can already picture these gift bags in gorgeous reds, greens, and golds for Christmas—or maybe frosty blues and silvers for a winter wonderland theme. Or, what about some holiday novelty prints – they would be perfect! The possibilities are endless!
I’ve included a picture of the gift bags below (the pattern includes four sizes), along with a link where you can download the free pattern from Connecting Threads.
Happy stitching—and have fun raiding that fabric stash!
