use up your cloth leftover pieces and make Cloth Bags

I am sure many of you have cloth/fabric leftovers , why not assemble
cloth hand bags and give them to everybody.... foldable cloth bags
made of leftover cloth , can be foldes into one`s handbag and be used
intstead of the Excessive used Nylon bags

I've thought of doing this a time or two myself. Do your bags have
handles or closures?

And take advantage of after-Christmas sales to buy beautiful Christmas
fabrics at low prices to make "gift bags." Over the years I've made lots
of gift bags with drawstring closures. It makes wrapping so easy - plunk
a gift in the bag, stick a label on it, and you're done!

This is the first Chrismas DD's SO celebrated with us, and I overheard
him say to her, "Those bags are a great idea. Saves all the paper."
(This was probably right after he was hit in the head by an empty bag
flying across the room as it was returned to its original owner. The
rule is, if you keep the bag, you have to give it back to the original
gifter next year with a gift in it!)

I made my grandson a patchwork quilt for Christmas and used a patterned
fabric for the backing so that it would be reversible.
I then also made a pillowcase from the backing and used it to pack the quilt
in instead of wrapping.

You should have heard the oohs and aahs from the assembled family members
when it was revealed.

You can see daughter and GS here with the quilt. Reverse side may be
glimpsed in lower corner.
