I needed 3 Thank You Gifts...We live in a small town...
I didn't have time to drive to one of the neighboring towns and search for SOMETHING...
And I wanted something Simple, DO-ABLE & USEABLE!

So I put my thinking cap on...
I decided to showcase a few local items...But didn't want to use
JUST a paper gift bag...Shoot, anyone can do that!
I wanted some personality thrown in......

I had decided on some local wine along with a few other items....
So naturally...a Wine bag popped into my head.....BUT I needed a much larger size to included everything. Especially the large loaf of bread!
So, I cut out a much larger version of a wine bag from some heavy weight muslin and burlap, (the burlap was slightly smaller in width, but slightly longer than the main/muslin pattern).
Then I started sewing. I placed the burlap over the top of the muslin , making them into a large wine bag style gift bags. I added twine, (to close the tops), by sewing the twine into the seams.

Included in the bags were; Red Wine, Bread Dipping Oil, a small package of chocolate candies and a loaf of freshly baked french bread. Then I hole punched my business card and attached with the twine.
Ta-Dah....Done!
Ta-Dah....Done!
The bags were very simple to make, I frayed the edges of the burlap, leaving them longer on the top.
A Very Simple, yet a thoughtful gift with some personal touches!
These were so simple and didn't take very long to make.
Best of All...
The gifts were received with Style...
