Just curious about the 2 Christmas bag designs that are up in Designs. It states Bags but I can't see how they would be bags. I am thinking more applique?

I am afraid the name of the design is misleading as it is a double appliqué. And as Chris shows a very pretty one. It would have been nice if the pocket could have been a real pocket but it is not designed that way.
As for instructions: appliqués are always done in three steps - 1. a die line/placement line, 2. the narrow zigzag to attach the fabric and 3. the satin stitch.

Thanks Mops for the applique instructions. I have only just started after a number of years to try applique.

Thank you Chris. I was on the right track. Kept thinking I was missing something . Thanks for showing me your lovely towel.

I've made it and it is an Applique, I've been doing them for years so I know the steps.

I'll put up a picture of the Reindeer. Love Chris

P.S. Babash is right, the pocket is sewn down so you can't put anything in it.

Too bad, it would be wonderful with a pocket!

it looks like they have pockets to put a treat or a small gift in to me, has anyone tried one yet

When you look at the sew out in Embird the pocket is sewn down flat. Pity there are no directions.
