his charming gift bag is a great way to use leftover scraps of fabric. It makes the perfect baby shower gift when filled with small toys or bath products, and Mom can use the bag to store nursery essentials. Adjust your fabric measure ments as necessary to make larger gift bags for quilts and blankets. Cut two 11" X 18" (28cm X 46cm) pieces of fabric (or cut fabric to your desired size) and decorate the front piece with a star block appliqué, a button and rickrack trim. After stitch ing your motif, pin the two pieces right sides together and sew along the bottom and two sides, leaving the top side open. To make the casing, fold the top edge over approximately ii“ (13mm) and press. Fold the edge again approximately 1" (3cm) and press. Stitch along the.top and bottom edges of the casing.
