Bag it. Tag it.

Happy Holidays?! I know it’s early, but get started now and relax when the holidays are finally here.

Here’s a quick drawstring bag and wooden chalkboard tag that you can reuse for a thrifty and eco-friendly holiday. I opted for simple, but you could change up the fabric, or use a satin ribbon or rick-rack trim for the drawstring. Two buttonholes on the front of the bag allow the string to hang in the front and the drawstring casing is created by simply sewing a channel in the outer and lining fabrics. These would be simple to make in many different sizes for all of your holiday gifts.

  1. I KNEW there was a reason I needed that chalkboard paint the other day at Michael’s! Wonderful idea!!

  5. What great timing! My daughter asked me to make her a drawstring bag for the laundry room for all those orphaned sox. With a little adjustment on the sizes, I’m going to follow your instructions. Thanks!

  6. I just found about this website… Thank you so much for sharing! I’m gonna sew that cute goose (an older tutorial) this weekend.
    Thank you again, your patterns are just great!

  8. Ah I love it all! Gorgeous, this is definitely something I’m going to be entertaining myself with over the next few week.
    Going to have to give you a mention in the old blog! (very very new actually) x

  10. Thank you for sharing the cute bag pattern. I have some Christmas prints in mind for my gift bags already.

  12. This feels like it might be a dumb question but… how to you reach the hole in the lining to turn it right-side-out if it is inside the outside fabric, and you have sewed off the only hole in that?
