Happy #NeedleWorkMonday everyone!

This week, I will visiting a friend at her new home and as a gift, I will giving her some indoor plants to add nature into her space. And with the plant, I thought that it would be nice to sew a gift bag to bring her the plant since I am on a roll after my last grocery bag project.

I have a piece of 40cm x 50cm polyester gingham cut cloth...

... which I folded into half...

...to cut 2 strips first as the handles.

For the handles, I folded and sew the edges together, to make sturdier handles.

Then, using a pin, I turned the sewn handles inside out.

And sew down the handles so that they are nice and flat.

Once the handles are ready, I went on sewing the bag edges, starting with the bottom.

As I will be putting in a vase, I decided to double and triple sew the bottom hem to reinforce the stitches.

I sewed the corners at the bottom of the bag to give the bag a base structure.

And sewed the top and sides.

To place the handles, I folded the bag to find the center and pin 4 sides...

...for the handles to be placed equally distanced onto the bag.

The handles are sewn firmly at each side.

And the bag is ready...

It works alright :)

This is a lovely and sustainable idea to not only gift the flower but also a reusable bag as a wrapping. I love to wrap presenters, but I do not want to cause more waste, so I mostly use newspaper which I fold a bit more elaborate. But your idea to sew a bag is much nicer. How long do you need for such a project? (I see myself working for hous with woven fabric...😱)
