{tab=Description}

These top zippered bags are a partial in the hoop project. The zipper is applied in the hoop. The bags are geometrically quilted in the front and back and the inside is fully lined; no seams are visible. The grosgrain ribbon is stitched to the bag and then the label is appliqued in place. All done in the hoop. Unlike the 6×10 version, this bag requires three simple and quick hoopings. The side seams get stitched on the sewing machine, as does the boxed bottom of the bag. If you have stitched one of our updated giftbags, this technique will look very familiar to you!

You are receiving two versions of the bag: One with a round, decorative label , another with a rectangular label. For a plain version, just stitch the back twice.

No font included. Shown is our Pauline ¾” font on the round label and our Tiny Alright font on the rectangular label.
