Updated: Nov 21, 2023

Sew your own reusable gift bags and tags with these beginner sewing patterns.

Drawstring Christmas Gift Bags in Three Sizes.

The Christmas season is just around the corner, and while some people take great pleasure in transforming gifts into beautifully wrapped presents, it can be a daunting task for others. The art of gift-wrapping, though a source of joy for some, can feel overwhelming for those who prefer a simpler approach. My drawstring gift bag sewing pattern offers a solution that is not only convenient but also eco-friendly.


Imagine a Christmas where gift wrapping is no longer a source of stress, but a delightful and simple task. With my set of three different-sized drawstring bags, wrapping gifts becomes a breeze. These bags are designed to make your life easier during the holiday season, saving you time and effort while still presenting your gifts in an elegant and thoughtful manner.


Designed with attention to detail, they boast a unique feature that sets them apart from traditional wrapping methods. Simply place your gift inside, pull the drawstring closed, tie a bow if you wish and voila, your present is beautifully wrapped. There is no need to wrestle with wrapping paper that wants to roll the wrong way or sticky tape that doesn't seem to have an end. Using fabric gift bags is an effortless way to add a personal touch to your gift-giving routine without hassle.


In addition, with these bags being made from sturdy fabric and fully lined, they offer exceptional strength and thickness, ensure your wrapping remains intact without any risk of tearing or revealing the surprise inside. They are perfect for those odd shaped gifts that are notorious for ruining the best of paper wrapping efforts.

Another benefit of these drawstring bags is that they can be tailored to suit any aesthetic or theme, whether you prefer a classic holiday look or a more contemporary style. The versatility of these bags allows you to customise your gift wrapping, making each present personal and unique.


One of the most appealing aspects, however, is their reusability. Unlike traditional wrapping paper, which often ends up in the recycling bin or trash, these bags can be used year after year, making them a sustainable choice for eco-conscious gift-givers. Not only do they reduce waste, but they also add a touch of tradition and nostalgia to your holiday celebrations, as they can become a cherished part of your family's Christmas traditions.


These drawstring bags are not limited to Christmas either; they can be used for various occasions throughout the year, from birthdays to weddings and everything in between. The versatility of this sewing pattern makes it a practical and cost effective investment that will serve you well beyond the holiday season.


In addition to simplifying the gift-wrapping process, why not take it a step further and complement your reusable drawstring bags with a set of reusable gift tags? These tags, designed to perfectly accompany the drawstring bags, add an extra personalised touch to your presents. Resembling classic luggage tags, they feature a clear window that allows you to slip in a note with the recipient's name and your heartfelt message.

These gift tags can also be used with regular gift wrapping. Whether you're using traditional wrapping paper, gift bags, or boxes, they can easily complement any wrapping style, adding an extra touch of handmade goodness to each package.
