10 Minute Christmas Fabric Gift Bag Tutorial

[@joycew3086]

Oh I love your voice. Almost soothing and relaxing 😌

[@alandacraft]

Thank you Joyce 😊

[@suebean3873]

Very cute bags. I think I may sew off the bottoms of the bag, like the corners. It makes it sit better but otherwise, what a cute idea, and the fabrics were so pretty. Thank you!

[@alandacraft]

Absolutely Sue . The bottoms could easily be boxed. The fabric was one of the few pretty pieces on offer. Our local fabric store didn't have much in the way of nice Christmas fabric this year.

[@cynthiapadget5770]

You could make some Christmas treats, fold into cloth coordinating napkins and have a great set. Thank you for sharing! I love how you did this - I have struggled in the past with drawstring bags.

[@alandacraft]

Thank you Cynthia 😊. I am so glad you enjoyed the tutorial.

[@nocomment4642]

This is super ! Turning the top over makes it look pretty and neat at the top without the need for lining and your tutorial is lovely and clear.I look forward to making some if these.Thank you 🦋

[@alandacraft]

Thank you for your lovely comment 😊

[@maggiedalton997]

Thank you for all your tutorials, I love watching both you ladies, you're so clever and have saved me many headaches particularly with my ScanNCut - have been following you for about 8 years now - Thank you and Merry Christmas xxx

Super cute, and a great idea for the remaining Christmas fabric I have from a previous project! Thanks for sharing!

[@alandacraft]

Thank you 😊

[@janicetarr7633]

I have seen many videos on the Easy Gift Bag! I found yours to be the easiest of all of them!!!! Thank you very much!!! Merry Christmas!! Everyone will be getting their gift in a gift bag this year! Love how simple you do it!

[@candydv]

Great tutorial! Sew easy! I just made a few to put little gifts in for my daughter’s friends.

[@marybarratt2649]

Tfs, it has simplified bag making, making it more precise and gives a perfect finish.

[@alandacraft]

Thank you Mary 😊. These are so quick and easy to run up and it's a good way to use up some scraps.

[@helene615]

Glad I found this! I need some small bags for "treats" for adding to gifts. This is quick, easy and not expensive. If I don't have ribbon, I could see if I have anything else around that works work and still look nice.

[@alandacraft]

Thank you Helene I'm glad you like it 😊. Absolutely, yes, you don't need ribbon, I have used cord and even some lace.

[@letyxmontelongo]

[@susannoble4417]

Great- but not 10 minutes!

[@estherfilip3275]

So beautiful!

[@Sasslette]

Great idea for a special bag for a gift!

[@janirwin1]

So simple and clearly taught. Thank you for your help. I love it.

[@alandacraft]

Thank you for your lovely comment 😊

[@Caaaasey]

Thank you so much! I adapted your instructions to make some velvet Santa sacks and they turned out lovely. This construction was just what I was looking for, where the top folded over to create the channel for the ribbon, whilst leaving a nice ruffled top.

[@alandacraft]

I'm so glad you found the instructions helpful for your Santa sacks.

[@irene3196]

These beautiful gift bags turned out better than I'd imagined. So clever but so simple.

[@alandacraft]

[@nynurse2]

❤❤❤ this! Thank you 🙏

[@johnsimpson1387]

Thank you

[@cynthiacatnott9012]

Nice

[@alexglow]

I love this tutorial. I'm planning to make a range of sizes for all our gifts this Christmas to prevent wrapping paper waste and save time too. Just wondering how you'd make this so that the ribbon bow sits at the front of the bag without a fabric seam down the front

[@chrishubbard350]

Instead of inserting the ribbon thru the side opening, make a button hold in the center front and start the ribbon there.

[@alandacraft]

That's a great idea Chris. Thank you for sharing.

[@alandacraft]

Sorry I haven't gotten back to you sooner. I actually missed your comment. I like the suggestion from Chris.

[@gracielaguzman9366]

❤Beautiful ❤

[@gvg52]

Easy! (but to make it easier to see, can I suggest using plain fabric?)

[@alandacraft]

We do have another video on making a gift bag using plain fabric. Here is the link kzbin.info/www/bejne/onzSZ4eKr9ahlbM

[@auntdee9678]

I guess I could make it a bag that would stand up if I do the corner method.

[@njame2137]

I subscribed and liked as I want to do this one after seeing countless others. BUT can anyone tell me how to find a tutorial again - I have too many subscriptions ( I wish it would show latest ones) even looked in my history but too many to go through. I can only think of taking photo on my phone - must be a better way????? thx

[@alandacraft]

There is a link in the description field of the video but to make it easy here is a link to the written description www.alandacraft.com/2018/06/22/quick-easy-drawstring-gift-bag/

[@dianelegris2175]

What is the length of the bag when it is finished? Thank you!

[@alandacraft]

The finished size will be approx 6 3/4" x 8 3/4". However, as we have the ribbon running through the top, you will have approx 7" (in height) of usable space. Note, however that these can be made in any size you like as the technique is the same.

[@mariaperezmartinez3307]

Puedes decir la medida en centimetros

[@lindamcclellan8434]

I always love your teaching but this seemed a little fast.

[@alandacraft]

Thank you Linda 😊. I actually agree with you. We are trying out new ways of presenting things and when I watched this one I thought to myself hmmm I think that it was a bit quick. Happy to receive your feedback.

[@jennynorris8931]

The little bag is cute but i thought the tutorial was a little fast

[@alandacraft]

We do have a step by step written instructions on the website, that you may find helpful. Here is a link www.alandacraft.com/2018/06/22/quick-easy-drawstring-gift-bag/
