Love using my own bags!

Just love this idea of fabric wrapping for the holidays and I just bought 6 yards of fabric on Saturday to make my own bags for Christmas. Years ago I used fabric bags for wrapping all those odd and unusal toys for my sons when they were toddlers...then I used them to store my Christmas decorations in afterwards. Now I'll be making flannel "wrapping" that they can use as pajama bags and laundry bags, etc. Your shopping bag pattern is PEFECT for stocking stuffers this year ;) Thanks so much for all that you do.
Fondly, Roberta
rlphilbr13(at)aol(dot)com
Thanks for all the great comments everyone! I'm so very happy to see that many of you are going to make bags! Make as many as you can and give them as gifts to get others to start choosing fabric!
After I get all of my holiday making done shopping bags are up next! We have some but we always need more! I will have to try out your instructions!
