Hello, everyone.
Having finished a gift for DS2, looked around and didn't like any of the on-hand options for wrapping. Aha! says I. There's all this fabric in the house!
Decorating the gift bag with an embroidered Nativity tree in silver and green.
Owing to the troubles experienced when making the owl pillow, also embroidered on Kona cotton muslin, I followed the suggestion of my friend Diane, an experienced machine embroiderer, to float the fabric instead of trying to hoop it. This worked out well.
After embroidery, the bag was sewn and the bottom corners boxed. Then it was soaked to get the wash away Sulky Sticky Solvy out, drip dried, pressed, and had its ribbon ties added.
Update: the finished bag
