Supplies Needed
You’ll obviously need fabric to sew a gift bag. But, what type of fabric? I recommend that you use cotton, quilter’s cotton or a cotton blend. Why? Because cotton fabric is beginner friendly and easy to work with.
Here are the supplies needed. For exact amounts, see the how-to card below:
- cotton fabric for the exterior bag
