JULY MAKES FOR THE OLNEY FAIR

I always like to try and make something new for the fairs and with Olney coming up this Saturday I put on my thinking cap and this is my latest - gift bags made out of brown paper sandwich bags and matching gift tags.
My cousin sent me a pack of Victorian scraps from a shop that we both love to visit in the US and I just had to use the one above.  I have been struggling with my sewing machine but now fianlly feel that I have got the hang of it and have been whipping up these bags and tags all weekend.

I have used vintage papers, cards, lace and all manner of bits and pieces that I have stored in my many boxes around the house and they are a great way of using up little snippets of items.
These ones have old postcards as their theme and I used some of my printed tie as well.
Children's theme bags.

I know you cannot get an awful lot in them but sometimes the sweetest suprises come in little packages.
