A Variety of Fabric Christmas Gift Bags

I hope all of you my dear friends and followers are doing well. This is a different time for us all. For me it's great to be able to get a lot of sewing done and not have to schedule anything, but I do miss seeing my friends, family and going to all of my stitching groups and seeing everyone as well as seeing all the show & tell.

One thing on my sewing list to do was that I decided to take out all the Christmas fabric that I had on hand and make some gift bags in a few styles and sizes. I still have a couple more to sew that I cut out and have more fabric to make more bags, but I will make those another time. I am glad I made these and was hoping to sell them at a craft show in November, but who knows whether that show will happen at all now? So maybe next year? I'll see what happens.

This is a simple drawstring bag.

This is a small bag like the one below only smaller. I added a Kam snap to close it. I wasn't sure if I wanted to add snaps on the other bags like this, so I just tried it on this bag.

I like these winter animals.

Inside I added a foam core board to stiffen the bottom of the bag. I covered it with decorative paper. The board is removable.

This is such a sweet little drawstring bag and I really like this fabric.

I used strips of blues and greens that I sewed together to create the exterior fabric first and then made the bag from the sewn together pieces. 

This is the other side of the above bag.

Here is a small and large bag in the same style. I love how dimensional the poinsettia looks on the large bag.

One small and 2 large bags.

Two small and one large bag. On the 2 small bags, I sewed together the scraps of all the leftover Christmas fabric I had used on the other bags I made in order to create these bags. I like the scrappy look to them.

A tall and small bag. Again the bag on the right made from fabric scraps leftover.

Two more scrappy small bags and a large bag.

Some of these gift bags sold and the rest were Donated.

Fabric Christmas Gift Bags

I had an assortment of Christmas fabrics that I didn't know what to make with them. I didn't want to make a quilt and I knew they wouldn't all look that great in one quilt together anyhow, so I decided I would make fabric gift bags and use as much fabric as I could that looked nice together. I ended up making 9 bags and I could have made a lot more using some of the fabrics that I still had left, but I didn't have the right contrasting fabric for the prints that I still have left. The bags are all lined with fabric too.

I loved the cardinals in this print. I only had enough fabric to make 2 bags. I didn't like any of the contrasting fabrics that I had left to go with this bag, so I used the wrong side of the red and metallic gold print for the contrasting fabric. The right side of the red fabric is pictured below on the top far right and left side bags.

It snowed a dusting here on New Year's Day, so I took advantage of the snow to take the photos of the Christmas bags. I also used the wrong side of the red and gold metallic print fabric in the bottom left bag. I actually think I like the color of the wrong side of the red fabric better than the right side.
