Simple Gift Bag for Baby Quilt

  I usually make my gift bags.  I finished making a baby quilt and had some scraps left. So a bag was created.  Here's how.

***********************************

*A Tutorial Tuesday*

 **************************

including gift tag

     First I put together scraps into strips and sewed the strips together to make a rectangle large enough to wrap around the folded quilt.  Then I added two 2 inch strips to each end.

Iron seams of white strips outward.

Fold under & iron 1/4 inch of edge.

Fold and stitch side seams.

Top stitch on inside of bag or

pin and top stitch from outside.

Made a quick tag to tie onto the handle.

Leftovers.
