I've taken a shopping bag and added embroidery to it - going to use it as a gift wrapping bag for a present for my friend's 50th birthday. Ps the corners at the bottom folded away so if it looks a bit funny it is only the picture taken.

by lindalee757 08 Jul 2010
oh-good to know-I do know that when I checked out the single designs it wasn't available-must be you have to get the cd to get jef-thanks Margaret-I just may have to invest in the cd too!!
by eleen 08 Jul 2010
I've obtained a membership on the site with immediate download and JEF was available. - I have an Elna which uses JEF.

Eleen, this is adorable and I am sure it was as big a hit as was the present.

thanks Shirlene. The gift is one of these wooden modern hearts painted stained white and with the words Love carved on it. It hangs from a rope with beads and she can hang it against a door. It is quite big so fit nicely into the bag and yes also homemade cookies - something to eat is always appropriate.

You've seen nothing yet. You would have loved the expression on my husbands face when I showed him the calendar girls. I could swear I saw a bit of a blush when I offered to make him a pencil case for work.

Their is quite a number of the bigger sized ladies designs on the site. Just a pity in art they can be made to look very sophisticated but in real life it is another story. Howcome I never feel fat and attractive but only fat.

Thank you and it actually worked out less than a paper gift bag would have cost me. Don't know about you but being a baby boomer which learned from her mother I am a re user. Problem is just that the paper gift bag does not look so fresh the second time around and then I always think wouldn't the recipient realise it has been used before.

Thanks tippy, I kind of got the idea to make the kids teachers at school something similar as a Christmas gift. Like a carrybag for books. Perhaps use an appropriate design on it - like the shopping sassy for the teacher known to be a shopaholic and so forth.
