Default Fabric Bags

I stopped using wrapping paper about 8-9yrs ago. Now I make fabric bags for every the occasion. I love them. I only use paper for little ones.

I use the fabric bags too, but they are easier for curious eyes to peek into. Last year I ended up basting them shut

I use fabric bags too which is a good thing because the presents are not under my tree yet. Your tree with presents is lovely!

I love that idea. I wrap in newspaper because I am frugal. I thought about wrapping in pillowcases (made by me) but did not get around to it.

Met a woman in JoAnn today buying a few Christmas fabrics to make gift bags. Great idea!

Thank you for sharing this idea. I really love it! I am thinking of making a special bag for each child, so each year I can reuse the bag. Thanks again for sharing ... Can't wait to start making the bags.
