    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 love your tutorials. ❤ You way of talking is articulate and pleasant. I really appreciate that you don't over share at the beginning and you let us get right into the promised content. I don't really need to know that your dogs are at the vet, granny's in the nursing home, and your kids are flunking algebra. Unless it's part of the project, like making a wheelchair caddy for granny in the nursing home. You get the idea. Btw, do you have a tutorial for a wheelchair caddy? I've watched several, none of which I was thrilled with, and ended up designing my own. Which I was also not thrilled with. 😅 Thank you for all your tutorials. I have learned a lot and I feel richer for having you in my life experience.

    • @heatherstrom

      Btw, I want to use French seams. Do you think that'll work with the casing opening method in this tutorial? I'm going to try it.

    • @JanHowell
      @JanHowell  4 місяці тому

      You are so kind! French seams would be great. Let me know how it goes.

    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!

    Cute, simple, and minimal fabric required since they are unlined bags. I like the sort-of-buttonhole method you used for the tie openings, haven't seen that before!

    • @JanHowell

      Glad it was helpful!

    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!

    • @JanHowell
      @JanHowell  Рік тому

      No need to line in my opinion as well.

    Great tutorial! You can make this size bag with a fat quarter, right? Haven't used Wonder Under in ages. Would love a tutorial! I already purchased Christmas gifts for my oldest granddaughter. They're awkward to wrap, so I think I'll make bags instead!

    • @JanHowell
      @JanHowell  2 роки тому +2

      You can make the bags any size, so you could use a fat quarter.

    I would rather make a gift bag than use wrapping paper that will be thrown away. Another option to reuse and recycle ♻️

      I use wonderunder. Trace your design onto the wonderunder and then cut it out. Remove the paper and iron it onto your project.
      I will be doing a whole tutorial on wonder under real soon.
