Step 1. Gather all supplies needed and read through the instructions.
Step 2. Draw a border of 9 1/2” tall by 8 1/2” wide on one end of the canvas fabric , DO NOT TRIM THE CANVAS TO SIZE.
Step 3. Print temples of designs and arrange as desired and mark centers on canvas.
Step 4. Hoop the canvas with tear away backing and run the design following the color chart. After running the design, remove the tear away backing.
Step 5. Pin right side of bag front to right side of the long strip, stitch a ¼” seam all around, now pin right sides of back piece to long strip, stitch a 1/4” seam all around.
Step 6. Do the same for the lining, leaving an opening along one side seam of about 4". Press seams.
Step 7. Take the ruffle fabric, if you have a narrow hem foot for your sewing machine, you can use it now to do a narrow hem on the ruffle, if not stitch a narrow hem.
Step 8. Stitch two rolls of gathering stitches using a long basting stitch, first row 1/4” from top edge of ruffle and again 1/4” from first roll of gathering stitches.
Step 9. Pin wrong side of ruffle to right side of bag, matching centers and quarters. Adjust gathers to fit. Stitch using 1/4" seam.
Step 10. Cut a piece of cording twice the length of the bias strip of fabric, (48”) that you cut in step 4.
Step 11. Cut the covered cording in half, this gives you a pair of handles. Decide where to position the handles and pin to the ruffle in front and back.
Step 12. Leaving the bag lining right side in, slip the lining over the right side of the embroidered bag, being sure to match the centers and quarters, pin in place.
Step 13. Turn lining to inside using the opening in the side of the lining. Press seam, now top stitch around top of the bag, through all thickness ¼” from edge of top.
Step 14. Fill Christmas gift bag with homemade cookies and candy, or whatever your gift is.
