    Thank you Jan. I've always hated to through away all the wrapping paper at Christmas, after all the presents are unwrapped. Just think of all the tree's that will be saved. I'll be giving birthday presents, Anniversary, Easter, and many other presents, to people in these nice bags from now on. 🎁

    I would add the wonder under embellishment on the panel before sewing it together.... then do a contrasting zigzag stitch all around it just to add a little something extra. Such a cute bag!

    This is a wonderful tutorial, thank you! I saw one the other day that was lined and I am not sure that's needed for a gift bag, plus it seemed to be a lot of extra work. This one is so much simpler. My mother in law sent me a gift in a fabric bag last Christmas and it felt so great to be able to reuse it for the family member whose name I got in this year's gift swap. A great feeling to be able to reduce and reuse instead of recycle!
