    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. 🎁

  • @triplewinlin5576
    @triplewinlin5576 Рік тому +1

    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!

  • @marykaren7542
    @marykaren7542 Рік тому +1

    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!

    • @JanHowell
      @JanHowell  7 місяців тому

      No need to line in my opinion as well.

  • @karenh2890
    @karenh2890 Рік тому +4

    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  Рік тому +2

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

      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.

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

    • @JanHowell
      @JanHowell  Рік тому

      Yes, a great way to recycle
