Secret Santa Solved

Sometimes I love being able to sew! I was supposed to get getting wrapping for my gift for the office secret santa today but the snow caused some problems on the motorway and getting to Tesco (yes I was getting desperate) was going to take about an hour-and-a-half.. sooo not happening.

Which took me back to the original plan of making a pretty little gift bag for the bath stuff I bought from Lush to make it look all nice and appealing and I must say I'm really rather pleased with the results.


It's properly lined so all the seams are hidden but there isn't a fixed fastening - it just has a tie made of thin strips of the two fabrics bonded together.

The fabric was bought at a quilt fair when I made a policy of spending <£5/m and I used about 1/3 of a fat quarter of each which makes it 83p by my reckoning - added to the £4.60ish I spent on the actual gift I think that's pretty close to the £5 target when you consider that people don't normally account for the cost of gift wrap!
