Use it Again Gift Bags

Necessity is the Mother of Invention. I'm always trying to think of ways to use what I have for another purpose or to use up what I have. And that led to gift bags from our felt Santa Bag scraps. I couldn't bear to throw them away. These bags come in various sizes and can be used again and again. Once again, I've embellished them with the embroidery machine. How fun is that?!

Santa's Got a Brand New Bag!!!

You, too, can become Santa with a big Santa Claus Bag of your own. Made of felt and beautifully embroidered (if I do say so myself!!) these are such a fun idea to take your gifts to grandma's or for grandma to bring her gifts to you! They measure approx. 40 inches by 28 inches. We actually made these for our Hodgepodge, and I'm sure they will be a big hit.

I love the idea of the mouse eating the candy cane letters, of Santa's sleigh full of gifts....My embroidery machine has definitely stretched my creativity. I really enjoy heading down to the "workroom" (family room) each day and sitting down to my machines. I am very grateful for my wonderful large cutting table (covered pool table). I'm so thankful that my hubby is too busy gardening to take time to play pool!!

Check with your Santa and see if he needs a new bag!
