Handmade Holiday: Gaggle of Bag Bags
2010 @ 7:35 am
This was my go-to gift for most people… a garbage bag dispenser and snowflake ornament. I’m a sucker for the utilitarian. I got this fabric at Ikea.
I also got to use my fancy grommet tool, yay! This thing has proved to be very handy indeed.
I used up a lot of fabric making these and it felt GOOD. Not to mention they are very quick. I could knock off four in an hour. Highly recommended!
The snowflakes are freestanding lace that I did on my embroidery machine. Very cool! I used Solvy heavyweight water soluble stabilizer, hooped tight and stitched with a size 11 needle. Each one took about a hour to stitch out–not the quickest when you are making groups, but not too bad in small batches.
