FNSI

As the wind blew and the dust with it time to head to my sewing room and make a  handmade gift for the secret Santa swap for my quilting group's annual Christmas party.     I decided to make a lined flat bottom drawstring bag and pop in a box of curved safety pins - one can never have enough pins when quilting.


I had to act quickly in order to get the photo outside as it was blowing a gale and the bag kept falling over.  

Thanks Wendy for organising another fun night of sewing.

Linking with Oh Scrap and TGIFF.

Back soon and in the meantime


Happy sewing all

What a great secret santa gift idea

Such a lovely gift and great idea including quilting pins. Where do they all disappear to? We had a stormy day here yesterday too.

A friend I was out with yesterday had a bag very similar to this and I thought what a great idea - hers had applique on the front. Would love to know the sizing for yours though Karen. They certainly would make great gifts. Well done.
