This fabric drawstring bag is an excellent alternative to paper gift wrap and will last a lot longer and can be used multiple times. Alicia will show how to scale the pattern to fit any gift! These bags work up quickly and easily using a serger. Create a bunch using a variety of holiday and special occasion fabrics or even everyday prints and you’ll be ready for any gift-giving occasion that arises. Bring your own fabric; see supply list for details.
