I have made Dozens of little pouches called Bridget's Bagettes, that I intend to use as a gift card holder for the holidays!
They were fun to make and easy and quick. You could put either a gift card of any amount in them, say McDonalds for a child (I made some with child theme's on them, some Iowa State University for college students, or victorian style prints for the daughters ) then put the approperate gift card in them such as a Card from Mcdonalds for a small child or I an I tune card for a pre teen or teenager, or a StarBucks card for a college student or a whatever card, you get the idea. I will try to post a picture of these bags I made! I absolutely HAD to quit making them they were addictive kinda like the fabric boxes.... The pattern I used was a Atkinson Designs called Bridget's Bagette's
