Santa's sack

I've got very little close family, just a nephew living in Belgium and a very elderly aunt living here in Caistor.  However, I am well blessed with cousins and I am blessed with kind, generous wonderful cousins.

I made this sack today for one of my cousins and his wife, children and grandchildren.  During the past year I have been making and buying all sorts of little bits and pieces, many of which I have wrapped already.  This sack is for everybody to open, not on Christmas Day, but on a day when the whole family is present and it can be shared.

The green corduroy and the gingham fabric are from my stash and the trim is the border from a cheap throw which I bought to use as a thin wadding when quilting.  I'm hoping that when it is full it will look very exciting!

  1. Love the sack, the trimming is perfect, such a great idea I have done something similar for my daughter but used a basket.

  3. The loveliest thing is making the sack and planning the contents. However much fun they )both adults and children) get, they can't have more fun than me!

  4. what a good idea! I am going to have to think about buying things through the year, as well, so December isn't such a rush.
