My ribbon can is also overflowing. I don&#8217;t need anymore gift bags and the family is pretty well set, so I decided to try and encourage YOU to start using gift bags for your holidays. To encourage you, I will offer a prize of a variety of gift bags in November for anyone who participates. Most of them will be Christmas bags, because that is the fabric I have.<\/p>\n<p>In order to participate you must:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>sew gift bags. No tape, staples or glue. Any fabric works<\/li>\n<li>post a photo to your blog or Flickr (or other easily accessible web space) of the gift bags you made<\/li>\n<li>put a comment with a link to the photo of your bag or bags in this post or a post related to the gift bag challenge. Each gift bag challenge post will say something like gift bag challenge<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I will:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>keep track of participants<\/li>\n<li>post a tutorial and ideas for making gift bags<\/li>\n<li>on or around November 15, I will draw a name or names (depending on the number of gift bags I have to give away) of the winners<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You may:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>enter more than once, but the limit is 10 times, which is about the number of months until November<\/li>\n<li>embellish, embroider to your heart&#8217;s content<\/li>\n<li>use any pattern you want including my tutorial<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Rules subject to change without notice and my discretion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In cleaning up the fabric avalanche, I found a piece of marginally Christmas fabric.
