Fabric Gift Bags

I have become obsessed with fabric gift bags lately. The only design I could come up with was a fairly simple lined bag and I was certain there would be some awesome tutorial online to show me. How to make a snazzy bag. Nope. Everything I seemed to find was a one layer bag without anything snazzy.....So I decided to make one.

 Pretty meh so I made another but this time with boxed ends.

I put a box of goodies in this bag to show the boxed ends

 A little better but still not snazzy.

Then I took out some left over christmas fabric (used it to make a basket inset long before my little one was born) and got the red leftovers from a stocking project.  And I stitched up a snazzier bag. Much better.
So far these are my favorite. One even has a silky feeling liner.

 I even decide to make a draw string bag. It didn't go quite as well though. I wanted the drawstring further down on the side.




Oh well, guess I'll have to try that one again. I'm thinking next go around there needs to be some sort of ribbon trim around the top .... maybe with an elastic middle. We'll see what the fabric stash holds. Maybe a tutorial is in your the future?
