What You'll Make
This comprehensive pattern includes instructions for three different bag sizes to suit all your gifting needs. The large bag measures 20" x 14" x 6", making it ideal for bigger presents like sweaters or books. The medium bag at 14" x 12" x 5" works perfectly for medium-sized gifts, while the small 12" x 10" x 3" bag is just right for jewelry, gift cards, or small treats.
Perfect for Beginners
These gift bags are designed to be fast and easy to make, requiring only basic sewing skills. The simple construction involves straight seams and a practical drawstring closure that keeps contents secure while looking elegant. Each bag uses minimal fabric, making this an economical project that's perfect for using up fabric scraps or fat quarters.
Features and Benefits
The pattern includes detailed cutting instructions and step-by-step assembly directions with helpful illustrations. You'll learn how to create professional-looking boxed corners that give the bags structure and depth. The drawstring closure is both functional and decorative, using coordinating cording or ribbon to complement your chosen fabric.
Fabric Requirements
For the large bag, you'll need 1⅛ yards of fabric, while the medium requires ⅞ yard and the small bag needs just ⅝ yard. The pattern also specifies cording lengths for each size, though you can substitute ribbon for a different look.
