This holiday, add a handmade touch to your gift-giving with charming fabric bags that feel festive and personal. This FREE “Holiday Gift Bags” project uses the Sugar Coated collection from Northcott Fabrics to bring in sweet patterns, bright color pops, and cozy texture, making each bag a treat in itself even before you wrap it. You’ll find the project approachable and rewarding, whether you’re sewing for friends, family, or looking for a quick creative break.
The FREE video tutorial by Shabby Fabrics offers everything you need: a free downloadable pattern that makes two matching bags, step-by-step video guidance, and a list of helpful notions like rulers, scissors, pins, and turning tools. These bags are quick to construct, don’t require advanced sewing skills, and are forgiving—making them great for beginners, or multiples if you plan to give many gifts this season. Choosing fabrics that coordinate yet have variety (prints, solids, small motifs) lets you customize each bag for whoever you have in mind.
When completed, these holiday gift bags do more than hold something nice—they communicate care and creativity. They’re reusable, beautiful, and make your presentation stand out under the tree.
