I made a few of these for Christmas gifts this year out of my husbands old button down shirts. One thing I couldn’t figure out is what to do so that the recipient didn’t pick up the bag and feel exactly what was inside. I ended up wrapping the gifts in an old t-shirt and then putting them in the bags but that was a little strange when people pulled it out and thought we gave them an old shirt. Suggestions?

About 10 years ago I picked up a couple yards of Christmas themed fabric at an after Xmas sale. I made these into big cloth bags. They’ve been used every Christmas and still look great. They have been perfect for those larger young kid toys. I never thought to make smaller bags out of free fabric from old clothes. LOVE the idea!

I love these and plan to make several. I have all kinds of left over satins and velvets that will be perfect.
Thank you for this tutorial.
