Christmas in June!

 

I am a procrastinator when it comes to Holiday sewing projects and usually start my Holiday sewing very, very close to December!  I made an exception once I saw the cute line of fabric "Christmas Adventure" designed by Bev at Flamingo Toes  for Riley Blake Fabrics.

The fabric line is so adorable!  Who doesn't love Holiday camper vans and bicycles!

I love to have cute bags and pouches for Christmas gifts, so I decided to make a trio from a pattern by Jeni Baker.  The pattern is easy to put together and a quick make.

I added fusible fleece to the body of the bag and light weight interfacing to the top contrast drawstring portion.

Of course I had to add a fun paper pieced block to the largest bag.  The pattern is my "Gifts" pattern which you can find in my Etsy shop

Be sure to tag your makes on social media with the hashtags:

I love to see what you make!

 This is my Cottage Block.  I love house blocks so I just had to include one!

So many fun fussy cutting opportunities!
