tiny, tiny tags.

I wanted to add a little tag to my little quilted christmas gifts this year.

I wondered how much room I needed, so I wrote my little message on a scrap.

It turned out I only needed 1 inch to say what I wanted to say.

Amazing, huh?

So I wrote the message and folded the scrap over.

Now I have a 2" strip for those of you who love numbers!

I ironed my strip of tags with the RIGHT sides together.

Then I marked lines where I'm going to sew.

I sewed those little, itty bitty seams.

Then I CUT between the seams.

Trimmed.

Turned right side out.

I have a TAG!

I have whole fleet of tags!





Lay that little thing on the BACK of my little gift.






sew the binding down over it all.









Roll that binding over to the front and top stitch it.







Viola!

I love my little itty bitty tags.
I'm going to do that again!!!

Then TODAY after all that tag business,
I got a gift.
A FREE gift.
SCRAPS!!!

OOOH! I love scraps!
And these scraps aren't quilting scraps.



They are wool/upholstery/"cute bag" scraps!

I just couldn't wait to begin this.



I love it!

The handles have been waiting for an
opportunity to be used.
I found them a while back at a thrift store.
They were attached to a purse that had seen better days.

By making this little bag today, I'd say I was
avoiding ALL that really needs to be done.

But can you blame me?

AND, since I don't have enough fabric.....;)

I'm trying to win some from Amy!

She has a give away going on....

Free fabric is the BEST!

I'm also adding this post to AmyLouWho's sew and tell.
