How to make an Adorable Little
Girls Christmas Purse or Gift Bag
|
This adorable little bag can
be used as a gift bag for someone or as a little girls Christmas purse.
 |
You will
need red fabric, white fur, and some type of ribbon for the handle.
Cut one piece of red fabric 7" X 15".
Cut one piece of fur 3" X 15".
Place your red fabric pretty sides
together and pin up each side as shown in the photo. |
 |
Stitch each
side of your bag using the pressure foot as your guide as shown in the
photo. Optional: Zigzag
stitch each side seam edge to help prevent unraveling. If you look
closely it is shown in the photo. |
 |
This
step is also optional: If you
want your bag "squared" at the bottom corners, pull them as shown in
the photo and mark with chalk a line about 1 inch from the bottom. |
 |
Stitch
where you marked, this "boxes" our bag as shown in the photo. |
|
|
Fold the
fur in half length ways. Put the fold at the top of the bag and
the two edges of the fur on the pretty side and the ugly side of the
bag. Basically, just fold the fur
over top of the bag and pin, making sure the fur is evenly distributed
on the pretty side and the ugly side of the top of the bag. |
|
|
Stitch
around the top of the bag near the raw edge of the fur. (not
near the folded edge) Be
careful not to stitch your bag closed!!!
Pick a handle you prefer and sew each
side of the handle to opposite sides of the bag on the top
inside. |
|
Your gift
bag, or little girls Christmas purse is done. |
