Well, Christmas is just around the corner....we went Christmas Tree hunting this weekend. Such a fun tradition to do with the family. I can't remember a Christmas since I was a kid that we didn't go out to get a tree. My brother was in the forest service one summer and would find amazing trees for us to try and go back and find in the winter.Great memories....
With the season of giving upon us I find all the wrapping paper to be a waste....not for the kids of course it is a child's love of ripping paper off a gift that can just make you smile. But for my friends and my mom I love to create re-usable wrapping....
I have a few ideas for you.....
This is a perfect small gift box made out of paper and fabric.... you could do it out of all fabric or all paper if you want. I love the mixture.
Here is a free download for this little box.... Download FabricGiftBoxes-web-1 part two

I also love to just take a piece of fabric and use it as wrapping paper around a present and tie with yarn. Especially for the fabric addict....
A couple of Sewing Cards that I love for wrapping are Petal Pouches and Project Bags.
These can be made in lots of sizes...
I love to make these for my knitter friends and put yummy skein of yarn inside.
My studio is calling me...I am in the middle of PURGING....my husband reminded me that I always go through a purge after I finish a new collection and before the sample yardage of the next collection comes into the studio. I can't believe I get so many ideas when I clean the studio as much as I really don't like cleaning.....
I have 6 more bundles of Wrenly Christmas to give away...a little gift for you! If you have left a comment your number is in the mix or comment and get it in there again....
Have a great day!
