CREATE AN ADORABLE CHRISTMAS BAG THIS HOLIDAY SEASON! HERE IS WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO MAKE IT:
- one piece of red fabric 7″ X 15″
- one piece of fur 3″ X 15″
- ribbon for the handle
- basic sewing supplies
Christmas Purse or Gift Bag – Step 1
Start by placing your pieces of fabric right sides together. Then pin and sew each side of the fabric pressure foot edge. If you would like you can do the optional step of Zigzag stitching each side seam edge to help prevent unraveling. If you look closely it is shown in the photo.

Now to make 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. After marking your line stitch it to create a boxed effect.

Next you are going to 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.

Then, 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!!! Finally, pick a handle you prefer and sew each side of the handle to opposite sides of the bag on the top inside.
You are now complete your Christmas bag!
