Seven Easy Gifts to Sew From One Basic Pattern
()
About this ebook
This ebook shows you how to sew seven different projects starting with a basic drawstring bag. Each project takes sixty minutes or less to complete. Use them for yourself or as a gift for your family or friends. The other projects use the same basic bag pattern, and by a few small changes you have a different project. You can sew a beautiful padded hanger, hat, chair cover, pillow cover and even soda can cozies. Soda can cozies made with many different brightly colored fabrics are perfect for a child's birthday party to identify each child's drinking glass, bottle or can of soda. The children keep their little cozy as a reminder of the party. They cost very little to make. You can personalize each gift by adding initials, names or words from fabric. Add a fabric flower or animal appliques instead of letters. Have fun thinking of more personalization!
