Gift wrap store




Something to put all gift wrap paper in, to prevent it from disappearing, or from rolling off the shelf as soon as you open the closet door.
I used remnants from two different fabrics that I made pillow cases from earlier. Cut them into 10 cm squares and sewed them together, 10 in each row, before creating one large piece of squares. I used an interior fabric to give more stability to the cylinder and I quilted the interior and exterior together. The bottom is also made of two fabrics, but not quilted. At the top, I just folded down the edge, sewed around it (twice) and then made a strap. A pocket was added to put small things in.
It turned out pretty well, but if I'll make another one, I'll definately make the cylinder lower, so that you can see what's inside.
Fabric from Stoff&Stil.

Labels

I ordered some labels to put on the things I make. They really turned out great and I'm so happy with them. They're even nicer on the back side, though (where yellow is the dominating color) , so when I've sewn 100 things and used them all up, I'll order some with yellow background and grey text instead ;-).
