I'm also including cloth shopping bags when I give a gift this year. I was going to wrap with them, but it's easier to put them in the bag, rather than make them the bag. I have lots of pillow cases I'm using for the bags. I was cutting them narrower and using the extra for the handles, but decided a slightly larger bag would work great, and give a bit more room in the bag. So I'm just using the whole pillowcase.I have a few more things to make and I hope they'll be done by Christmas. I have time off till New Year's Day so if I can stay focused I'll get them done.
Oops, I almost forgot, to see what other folks are doing, check out Judy's blog.
Merry Christmas, everyone!

Great ideas Mary!
making bags for Chrisstmas presents is a great idea. A friend of mine had a similar idea, she put all presents in themed pillow cases so you got two presents in one.
That's a wonderful idea, Mary. I'm going to do that next year. Have bags for everything because yes we wrap, we make pretty and in a couple of minutes all that effort and money is out the door to the dumpster.
Love the one you pictured.
That bag looks great! I made those one year, they were supposed to be re-used, but I never saw them again. Of course that was before the green craze, so maybe folks would be more appreciative now. I hope you get all your sewing done - did you ever finish your banner?
