Santa Sack

Lily-Kate about to see what she has got
Full of presents:)
Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Toy

For: Children

Style: Holiday, Funky, Whimsical, Cute


Materials

Christmas Fabric, Ribbon

What was your inspiration?

My gorgeous little grand-daughter was coming for Christmas and I wanted something to hold all her presents. I saw similar sacks in shops and websites and decided to make one myself.

What are you most proud of?

How it turned out, especially the Christmas tree and I was able to use fabric from my stash.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

This was made in a rush on Christmas Eve, so my advice would be start in time! However, it was worth all the rushing as Lily-Kate will have this every Christmas when she comes to visit Granny and Granda:)

That's really cute! Such a lovely alternative to the boring old pillow-slip! Lily-Kate will look forward to using it for Father Christmas's visit year after year, just you wait and see! Children love "tradition" and something like this generates its own tradition, being something they will look forward to using.
