Santa Sack

Santa Sack

Santa sacks are a great way to wrap presents for loved ones for Christmas! They are also quick to sew and as a bonus they are reusable!

If you require a different size, you can also adjust the rectangle dimensions to suit the presents that you want to put inside.

Requirements:

  • (2) 50cm x 55cm Rectangles of Christmas fabric
  • Ribbon 2m length
  • Co-ordinating Sewing thread
  • Sewing Machine
  • Safety-pin
  • Fabric marker or chalk
  • optional: Overlocker

Construction:


Seam Allowance is 1cm unless otherwise specified.

  1. Place fabric right sides together. Using a fabric marker, mark 10cm down from the top short edge. (If you have directional fabric, make sure it is facing up toward this side.)
