Gift Bags by N. Banks
Here is a real easy one to do and takes about 2 hours
from start to finish. You will need:
1
Green bag from Walgreen's or any other christmas color bag
Green
thread to match bag
4
5x7 pieces of white material
2
5x7 pieces of iron on stabilizer
2
Christmas designs, I used Christmas Bears by Laura (http://www.designsbysick.com/details/bearychristmas)
Thread
for designs,
1.
Take out the card board base in the bag, lay it aside for now and cut bag on fold lines (see below) so that you have a front and back.
2.
Iron the stabilizer to 2 pieces of the white material.
3.
Stack 1 piece of white material and the one with the stabilizer
together and sew over the Walgreens logo on the front of bag with a satin
stitch, repeat for the back of the bag.
4.
Center and hoop the front of the bag with the white material in
center. Set the Christmas design off a
bit to the left so that you have room to add the person's name the bag is for.
Make sure the bags handle and sides are out of the way before you start to sew.
5.
Place your hooped peice on your machine and stitch your design out. 6. Using your machines fonts, stitch on the front the person's
name you are making the bag for. This bag is for my granddaughter who loves bears.
Repeat for the back, but leave the name off. At this point you can add more designs to the front or back of the bag, just use tear a way stabilizer and sew any that you want.
Pin the right sides together, and sew using a ¼ inch seam allowance.
Then turn bag right side out and stitch the seam again. Place
cardboard base back in bag and you are done.
I have also made these for
Halloween bags for my grandkids, again using designs from http://www.designsbysick.com/.
