Sew Mama Sew Giveaway 2!!!!!!




I love the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day(Week) so much that I decided to have two giveaways this December! I am so glad that they moved the date forward so that Christmas giveaways can be included this year. I have a set of fabric Christmas gift bags for a giveaway. There are many several sizes included so you can wrap all kinds of gifts!
The is lots of glitter on these bags even though it is hard to see.



Santa, gingerbread men, and a lovely Christmas village adorn these bags.

Here is a close up of two of the glittery bags so that you can tell they are glittery!

Here is a close up of the village on the small bag.

Each bag has an attached ribbon so that you can tie everything up with a bow! The best thing about these bags is that they are reusable! No more paper and ribbon to throw away! Just put the bags away til next year and then refill them!!  I will include some name tags to go on the ribbon so you will be ready to wrap as soon as you receive the bags!

Just leave a comment about your favorite wrapping technique(bet you can guess mine!) to win the set of 8 bags. For a second chance become a follower! Be sure to post a second comment so I know! I will ship internationally.

Don't forget to check out all the other great giveaways from Sew Mama Sew. The giveaways start on Monday December 3rd and ends Friday December 7th.

  1. I love to use wrapping paper as it sounds so nice to hear kids ripping into the package to see the excitment on their faces when they see their gifts. The gift bags are great also. Nice give away.

  2. that would be so much better than paper

    ReplyDelete
  3. Last year I made the tags and decoration for all the gifts. I would really like to try butcher paper/ brown paper and decorate them with stamps and washi tape :)

    ReplyDelete
  4. We've actually used the coloured comic pages from the newspaper in the past!
    These are just lovely and such an eco friendly way to wrap things up.
    Thank you for the chance :)

  7. I usually use wrapping paper but this year I'm making as many bags as possible!

  8. We use old architectural drawings as wrapping paper. My spouse has rolls and rolls of them. It's a fun way to recycle and folks enjoy asking what the drawing was for.

  14. I love using bags and paper and ribbon. I think I will start making fabric bags. These are a fantastic idea.

    ReplyDelete
  15. When I wrap with paper I like to use fancy fabric ribbons like you would put on a wreath. I also love bags and often buy the ones intended as reusable shopping bags. Some stores (Michael's for one) have really cute ones. Making them like yours is a great idea too!

    ReplyDelete
  16. My fav is: kraft paper, yarn of different colors all around and a felted crochet nothing (a flower, one little heart) on top. On my spare time I crochet little thing and then I felt them all together to use when I need.

    ReplyDelete
  17. I do use paper to wrap! lol Loooove your bags! what a cool & clever idea! (I even use the comics from our Sunday papers!)

  19. I love the old fashioned paper the best. I can't use those plastic ribbon bows though because me cat likes to eat them

    ReplyDelete
  20. I hate wrapping - especially odd sized items. So using gift bags like this is perfect for me (plus, I don't feel like I'm "wasting" paper)

    ReplyDelete
  24. I love using gift bags too! I love simple designs that look Christmas-y! Thank you for the giveaway

    ReplyDelete
  25. These are perfect, thank you for sharing. My usual way to wrap (because I am lazy) is to put the gift in a paper gift bag with some tissuepaper to cover it up.

  27. I like traditional wrapping paper because it's fun to open, but when I want to be a little more environmentally friendly, I like to wrap in fabric or old newspaper and tie with a nice bow.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Great giveaway! I use fabric gift bags for everything except for one paper-wrapped present per kid. It's fun to see the bags get passed around my family and circle of friends from year to year.

    ReplyDelete
  29. OMG I sooo need these cute gift bags!! I like to use tea towels as wrapping so the person gets their guft PLUS a tea towel specifically chosen for them :) The men aren't impressed but their wives like it!

    ReplyDelete
  30. I love your idea, great giveaway!

    I like to use brown paper, it's usually already recycled and you can recycle it again. I just decorate it with stamps, drawings or use twine, ribbon and yarn to add punches of colour.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I've never used fabric bags before, but would love to try! I love baskets - lots of little presents in one big basket :) And I'm always a sucker for good old wrapping paper.

    ReplyDelete
  32. i love these bags. i always think i'm going to try that, but then i run out of time and have my girls draw on newspaper to use for wrapping paper. thanks so much for the chance to really use pretty wrapping bags this year!

    merry christmas!

    ReplyDelete
  33. I will often buy tote bags for birthday gifts instead of using paper or a (paper) gift bag that just get thrown away. These look cute, and would get reused too.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Wrapping paper and if it is a good pressie a tape it up really well

    ReplyDelete
  35. I like to use wrapping paper - I also like to put the tags on the BACK so you cannot see them. (Also keeps temptation away...)

    ReplyDelete
  36. I usually use wrapping paper, but fabric bags would be so much more eco-friendly.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I have always used paper but I am going to try to be creative with fabric wrapping this year!

    ReplyDelete
  38. We love to use fabric gift bag in our family too. They look so lovely under the tree.

    ReplyDelete
  39. How cool!! I use regular ole wrapping paper, but these are WAY more amazing!!

    ReplyDelete
  40. I've always used paper before, but I'm trying to be more green now, so these bags would be a great help.

  41. I'm just getting into fabric wrapping paper. Otherwise, I love the crisp high end paper. You know, with the grid on the back and that you can REALLY crease.

    ReplyDelete
  42. My favorite technique is to try to get my daughter to wrap for me!!!! These type of bags would make it so much easier for me!

    ReplyDelete
  43. I made a bunch of those last year when I was too lazy and pregnant to go to the store for paper or bags :) I wrapped one year with misprint maps from work (I worked at a historical archive, and the duplicator for map copies would sometimes have errors) - pretty neat looking.

    ReplyDelete
  44. These are great! I like to use random bits of fabric or paper but I usually am in a rush and reuse a rumpled gift bag. :-)

    ReplyDelete
  45. I like to use brown craft paper and newspaper with a colorful ribbon. :)
    peachstateme (at) hotmail (dot) com

    ReplyDelete
  46. I like to use plain red paper and fancy wired ribbon which can be used over and over again. I use last years Christmas cards to make this years gift tags. I have made gift bags from fabric for birthdays.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Great bags! I am usually a wrapping paper kind of girl, but today I bought some fabric to try out the fabric bags, what a coincidence that our thoughts are aligned today!

    ReplyDelete
  48. Ha! Whatever is quickest! I am not very good at making my gift wrapping look spectacular. It's what's inside that counts!

    ReplyDelete
  49. I usually use gift wrap, but I'd love to have some fabric reusable bags! Thanks for the great giveaway!

    ReplyDelete

  53. Those are so cute! We already have some fabric gift bags, but not enough-we end up using paper bags every year too (usually reusing ones other people have given us at some point!)

    My favorite wrapping technique from last year was making little sleds out of construction paper and candy canes (with fun sized candy bars tied up with ribbon like presents in the sleighs) for my brother-in-laws. We get them giftcards every year which is kinda boring to open, so it was fun to make it cutesy. Plus then they could eat the candy and not feel like they didn't actually get anything real that day, you know?

    ReplyDelete
  54. Fabric gift bags are my favourite way to wrap! I love wrapping paper too, but it's become so costly and it's so wasteful, I've almost given up on it. (And with fabric, you never have to find the end of the roll of tape!)

    ReplyDelete
  55. I use reusable paper gift bags, but these are so gorgeous I think this year I will use fabric bags as well. Yours are absolutely gorgeous and would make any Xmas tree so much prettier.

    ReplyDelete
  56. I've been trying to make more fabric gift bags - these would really help me!

    ReplyDelete
  57. What a great giveaway! If I don't win, I may have to go and make some of these anyway. :-) My family tries to reuse wrapping paper - gifts get unwrapped carefully, and the paper gets folded and put away for the following year. It's something we've always done, so gift bags like these would be perfect. :-)

    ReplyDelete
  58. Plain boxes were used for years with regular wrapping on the outside that got torn off and recycled. I loved when I was gifted a present wrapped in fabric it was two presents in one!

    ReplyDelete
  59. Lovely giveaway, and much bettern than paper - what I usualy use :(

    ReplyDelete
  60. Fabulous giveaway....great gift on its own...imagine a handmade gift encasing another gift for Christmas. I have always recyled all my wrappers....added on extra ribbons and crochet flowers to enhance the gift.

  61. Love this,beautiful fabrics.I use gift bags,but just today get brawn paper and had in mind something with it.Lovely giveaway,thanks for the chance to win it.

    ReplyDelete
  62. These are great! Thanks! My favorite wrapping is old national geographic maps, but my stash is running really low!

    ReplyDelete
  63. I enjoy picking out a theme for each Christmas and wrapping or gift bagging accordingly. Tending toward less wrapping though~

    ReplyDelete
  64. What a great giveaway! I really hate wasting all of that paper and ribbon, wrapping presents that way. (which is my current favourite, by default, haha.)

    ReplyDelete
  65. I like to use gift bags. We have some paper ones that are years old and each child has his favorite. I love the fabric ones better as they last longer and have only a few. Don't know why I don't make more!

    ReplyDelete
  66. I like to use gift bags with tissue paper...although I can wrap very well, I don't like all the folding, measuring and tape!
    This is a very clever idea, making reusable gift bags! Cheers!

    ReplyDelete
  67. I love looking at beautiful packages tied up with burlap and ribbons and snowflakes and things, but I usually just go with paper. It's so much more fun for the kids to open good old fashion paper. :)

    ReplyDelete
  68. Anytime I get something wrapped and it's presentable I'm happy :)

    Love the bags,
    Thanks for the chance to win!

    ReplyDelete
  69. Oh gosh those would make a gift twice as nice! I fear I'm usually the "roll it in whatever paper you can find at the last minute, tape the heck out of it, and stick a bow from a bag full of them on top" sort of wrapper. My family would freak out if I casually handed over one of these...tee hee!

    ReplyDelete
  70. We love using furishiki - I am especially fond of using bandanas. I also like to wrap larger items in pillowcases (homemade, of course) tied up with a big bow.

    Thank you for your generosity and kindness (even if I don't win)!

    ReplyDelete
  71. I love this reuseable packaging! Beautiful! Thank you for your generosity.

    ReplyDelete
  73. I always use wrapping paper or bags but these would be better and 'green'!

    ReplyDelete
  74. I use wrapping paper that I buy in the January sales. I should try harder however to be a bit more environmentally responsible and use reusable gift bags like you.

    ReplyDelete
  75. I love wrapping paper! Although I have been using the same roll for three Christmases now!

    ReplyDelete
  76. I love using brown paper, tied up with fabric ribbons.

    ReplyDelete
  77. Like you, I like to give gifts in fabric bags. Wrapping in brown paper grocery bags is also a go-to here.

    ReplyDelete
  78. I love using such materials as old maps ans even if I use simple craftpaper I try to embellish it by sticking a matching picture to each side of the present

  79. We started using fabric from my stash a few years ago to save on paper. I do my best to wrap and make it look beautiful and then when the gift giving is over we fold it up and put it back! Love your bags. Maybe I should just buy some great Christmas fabric and make some too!

    ReplyDelete
  80. Love the gift bags; that's my favorite wrap, too!

    ReplyDelete
  81. I love to get just a roll of plain paper and let my kids decorate it with markers and stamps and what ever else they can get their hands on. no two presents look a like.

    ReplyDelete
  82. I love wrapping gifts in wrapping paper. The patterns are always so adorable! And, they are fun and messy when opened!

    ReplyDelete
  83. Love to use maps from Nat Geo.. or also collaged shopping bags from Anthro!

    ReplyDelete
  84. I have mastered gift wrapping boxes in paper, but I'm more than willing to use a homemade gift bag. I know I would enjoy receiving a gift in that type of bag. Thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  85. I use Christmas wrapping paper and added a ribbon to it

    ReplyDelete
  86. For years we wrapped most of our gifts in the colored sheets of newspaper - usually ads. It's recyclable too; regular wrapping paper can't be recycled!

    ReplyDelete
  87. I like to patchwork leftover pieces of wrapping paper. I also like to create a collage of photos and print them out to to wrap gifts.

    ReplyDelete
  88. I love brown paper painted by my children to wrap presents. And for younger children I love bags as they are quicker and they don't rip at the awkward corners.

    ReplyDelete
  89. I make greenlady reusable bags! I have to tie them closed using the handles and it is nowhere near as cute at your zipper bags.

    ReplyDelete
  90. I love bags like this because they are good for the environment, but, I can't deny that I do so love a brown paper package tied up with string! :) jinglesells at gmail dot com

    ReplyDelete
  91. I like to use whatever is least expensive. If it's a recycled gift bag with tissue paper or some $.99 wrap from the store. The fabric bags are a nice idea though...you can keep using them over and over.

    Thanks for a chance to win.

    ReplyDelete
  92. Hi !
    Here in France we use paper to wrap our presents, and kids love to tear the paper up to open their gifts ! So sellotape, paper and "bolduc" (ribbons you can curl with your scissors)are my best friends at the moment !

    ReplyDelete
  93. And I'm now a Google Firends Connect follower !

    ReplyDelete
  94. I usually paper wrap, but last year I made a bunch of stringed bags for the nieces and nephews.

    ReplyDelete
  95. Excellent giveaway! I made a bunch of bags out of red flannel last year for the presents from santa - it made the last minute part of Christmas Eve a breeze, and have been meaning to make more all year, and now it's December again already. They would get years of use in our house, I'm sure.

    ReplyDelete
  96. I have to admit that my favourite wrapping technique is to ask my husband to wrap them for me. In fact he always offers because he's seen the results of my gift wrapping : )

    ReplyDelete
  97. till now it was beautiful papers I printed myself and fancy decorations, but seeing this I am thinking it's time for sth new

    But I love your way, I so much would love these!!

    ReplyDelete
  99. I use wrapping paper, but only because it's easiest. I've actually been using the same two (extra large!) rolls of reversible wrapping paper for about 10 years. Yay Costco! However, I love making reusable stuff, so I do have a couple of reusable gift bags... I'd love to add more to my collection though! footprint13@gmail.com

    ReplyDelete
  100. Um...is Christmas paper and scotch tape a technique?! I'd love a change from that to your cute bags.

    ReplyDelete
  101. My favorite is with fabric gift bags but I haven't had time to sew them all up. Last year I just wrapped some gifts in the fabric I had planned to make gift bags from. Thanks for the giveaway!

  103. I usually have used bags to wrap because I find them so much easier to use than paper. These are lovely and I think the idea that they are reusable is so wonderful. The fabrics you chose are adorable and I would be thrilled to receive a gift in any of them! Thank you so much for participating in this giveaway,

    Merry Christmas!

  105. I love to use boxes and wrapping paper and bows but, lately, tend to use the handy gift bags for gifts of all kinds. Thanks for a great giveaway and Merry Christmas :)

    ReplyDelete
  106. Fabric bags are my hands down favorite too! However, I've yet to get ahead of the curve and get enough made! I also find with little kids, my in-law's trick works really well right now - each kid gets a different wrapping paper - so easy to sort and find in the excitement on Christmas morning! :)

    ReplyDelete
  107. I would love to use fabric gift bags like you do. I typically use paper gift bags and do reuse them.

    ReplyDelete
  108. I love to stamp on plain paper and last year I made pillowcases for the kids and put their gifts in those! thank you!

    ReplyDelete
  109. The kids paint and stamp plain brown paper and we use that to wrap up gifts. Heaps cheaper and the kids feel part of the Christmas preparations.
    Thanks for the chance to win.

    ReplyDelete
  110. I love to use vintage wrapping paper that I get at estate sales. Your bags would go great with my glitter and sequin theme this year!

    ReplyDelete
  111. I love using wrapping paper. The best was the year Santa brought me a serger. My husband wrapped my presents in fabric remnants so I had fabric to practice on!

    ReplyDelete

  115. I have been known to use a clean but old sock when I can't find the mate. I also use Sunday comic to recycle. I love your idea, pretty plus reusable

    ReplyDelete
  116. Brown paper from grocery bags - decorated by the kids if there's time before wrapping!

    ReplyDelete
  117. My favorite technique (apparently) is using too much tape so they cant get the presents open hah! This would definitely fix my problem!

    gdukeak@gmail.com

  118. I love using craft paper and decorating with stamps or ribbon. Thanks!
