Behind the scenes lately I have been doing a LOT of stitching. I am excited today to be able to reveal one of my latest designs with you today...
Once again I am excited to have been one of the designers taking part in Quilt Fabric Delights, Christmas in July online event. It has become an annual event that I know lots of stitchers look forward to and I have enjoyed designing and making a brand new Christmas themed project.
With Sarah's permission, I am super excited to share with you my project for this year's Christmas in July, called 'Christmas Gift Bags'.
What is special about these gift bags, is that they are all based on the very same bag. So this pattern is one bag, three ways. With just a few additions to the basic bag, three different Christmas gift bags can be made.
Here is the drawstring gift bag...
And the gift bag with handles...
Also included in this design is a set of three fabric gift tags, a great way to dress up Christmas gift wrapping this coming Christmas too.
Have you signed up to join in the fun at QFD's Christmas in July online event?
If you haven't, it isn't too late to join. There are still a few weeks left of this event, which gives you plenty of stitching time, or download the patterns to make between now and Christmas time too.
In this online event, not only do you get my full pattern as well as step by step photos to walk you through making the fabric gift tags, there are loads more gorgeous patterns as well. For more information on Christmas in July take a look here, and for a fabric pack for my design, take a look here. Hope to see you in class... x Janelle
