Gingko and wine quilt finished....

Small gift-bag

Today I sewed some of this little gift-bags...
(Hi Chris, I hope your are satisfied with this pattern? :-) )
....

That's all you need + 15 minutes of your time!

the small sides of this pieces are the top....

you begin at the top to sew on the long piece with 1/8" seam, stop sewing 1/8" before you reach the bottom, pay attention to have the needle down...

lift the presser-foot (remember to have the needle in down position) and turn the piece...
lay the blue fabric around the curve like this and sew the next seam........

......

when the blue fabric is in place on both sides, sew the seam at the top of the bag (folding it twice)..

turn your little bag inside out....

pin the side seam like this.......

and sew the next seam, a little bit larger than 1/8" so that you can't see the raw edges inside anymore....

iron the long small white fabric pieces (two sides to the middle and than fold again)
and close the tubes with a narrow seam, attach the two handles to the bag......

yeahhh, the little bag is ready to be presented!

.........

write on Vliesofix (wonder-under) everything you like,
don't forget to write it reverse!!
iron the Vliesofix on a piece of fabric, cut out, and iron the tiny pieces on your bag....
Have fun!

This and that....
