Fashion & Apparel Sewing

When it comes to gift giving, I'm not great at wrapping with wrapping paper. Next time, I'll use these super simple reusable fabric gift bags. Ready to make some? Grab your stash and let's get to it!

Looking for the perfect compact handmade gifts to complete your list? No need to cry about it, these simple tissue holders are perfect for holding travel sized tissue packs. They're great for using up fabric scraps, and they fit nicely in seasonal stocking-like receptacles (hint hint). Try using an outdoor fabric like I did to make it weather resistant. Grab your gift list and let's get to it!

Way back in 2015 we made a tutorial on how to make a simple wristlet. It's always been one of my favorites and I got a lot of use out of it. I've made many since then for myself and for presents and have improved the design over time. I updated the pattern sizes and added a zipper compartment. This new zipper compartment can hold cards and cash in a more secure way than the first model.

Need the perfect beach bag? I got you covered. This beach bag is made out of Phifertex Standard Solids and an outdoor fabric so it is super cute, waterproof, and most importantly, allows sand and crumbs to pass through the bottom of the bag while keeping your valuables safe. This bag is super customizable, so you can make it in any color combination and size. They are inexpensive to make and make great gifts.

Bags. If it isn't painfully obvious, we love them over here at OFS. I probably have a bag for every day of the month and guess what- I am not done creating more. Enter the Slouchy Backpack. Debatably the king of all bags, this one gets bonus points because it can be tied as a backpack and an over the shoulder bag.
