Xmas Gift Bags

As part of my "handmade" Christmas, I decided to make some bags in a few styles and sizes for gift giving.

There are so many festive fabrics around so this was a great opportunity to use some of them in gift bags which can be reused.

The first ones I made were a satchel style bag which folded over and was easily secured with some ribbon and a button.

Then I used the Lined Drawstring Bag tutorial by Jeni @ In Color Order to make a few more bags.

I adjusted the pattern to make some of different sized bags to use for a bottle of wine and also a tiny gift one suitable for some jewellery.

My favourite bags are probably the cute Koala drawstring bag and the sparkly reindeer gift bag. 

And they looked so cute amongst the wrapped gifts under the tree.

This was on my FAL Q4 list for this year so linking up with the 2016 FAL team.
