Beverly's 12 Days of Christmas Crafts

Well, everyone, the Christmas season is officially upon us! And as crafters, quilters and generally creative people, I'm sure you have people on your gift list who are expecting something beautifully hand crafted just for them (I know I do!). But if you're anything like me, you've waited till the last minute and have run out of crafting time (um...I know I have!).

Never fear. Here at Beverly's we've come up with our own version of the 12 Days of Christmas... Starting tomorrow and every day through Christmas Eve, we'll post a creative, simple gift idea with all the instructions. Keep an eye on our blog as we count down to Christmas, crafting all the way!

Social Crafting Ruffled Canvas Bag

On Wednesday evening, customers gathered in our local Beverly's stores for an evening of Social Crafting. This month's project was an adorable Ruffled Canvas Bag! Using a simple bag, a fat quarter of fabric, tulle and wired ribbon (yes...wired!) participants spent the evening creating a stylish tote to keep for themselves or to give as a gift. A simple running stitch for gathering is the only sewing necessary, and that's only for the fabric and tulle. The ribbon is gathered using the wired edge, and everything is attached using Fabri-Tac glue!

To make your own bag, download the instructions, shop for your materials, and start crafting!
