(Sugar
Cookies Mix ) Day
8 of Christmas 2013
Drawstring Bag... (Your
supply list is everything that is underlined!)
I cut out 6.5 x 5 inch piece of fabric to embroidery the words Sugar Cookie Mix in the middle of it. You can do it with your machine if you have one, or by hand. Then I ironed on Steam a Seam on the back of that fabric and cut it out to look like a label. (I used my Big Shot the Top Note die cut)

You will need Pink Embroidery Floss for words on your label,
and 3 -4 fat quarters (
1 for lining, 1 for outside, 1 for ties and 1 for label)

Our bag is different because we are not using a contrasting
fabric. The outer bag is all one color. Cut 2 pieces of lining at 12.5 x 10.5,
then cut 2 pieces of the outer bag the very same 12.5 x 10.5. Then you want to
cut 2 - 32 x2 for your ties.
You make our bag the same way except after sew the 2 front pieces together, you mark up 2 inches and iron on your label that you stitched and cut out with your die cut and appliqué it on. We also marked the place for our casing at 2.5 inches down from the top and then 3.5 inches down further. Then put your bag together the same. We bagged our bottom at an 1inch instead of 1.5 inches.

If you don't have little ones to make the pretend cookies for, then just make the bag and put real cookie dough and maybe a cookie cutter and recipe inside ...what a perfect gift for a whole family this Christmas!
Piping Bag ...
You will need 1 white fat quarter, frixtion pen, 18
inch of ribbon of your choice, fray check, some stuffing and a scallop
rotary cutter blade
Cut 2 (of the pattern) out of your white fabric, sew 1/2
seam down on both sides (trim bottom corner and grade the sides near the bottom
and turn. Trim off 1/2 of the top with your scallop ruler, stuff and tie with
ribbon.
Cookies...
You will need tan felt. Cut out 8-
3"circles( for 4 cookies), then cut 8 -2" circles of warm and
natural(for center of cookies). Just put the 2 pieces of warm and natural
in the middle of 2 of your cookies and zigzag around the edges to close. ( I
used a 3" and 2 " die cut for my cookies )
Icing...
You will need 4 colors of felt ( 2
different pinks, chocolate brown and cream ), 3 colors of embroidery
floss ( lime green, red, yellow ). Cut a 2" circle
of Steam a Seam and of matching felt to icing, for
the back. I used a flower die cut for the icing) I embroidered
french knots on the front and then ironed on the back circle to cover
threads.
Dough...
You need a 2- 12x12 pieces of tan felt with thread to
match, you need to cut out 4 circles in the middle, I made mine a bit
crooked so it looked more like real dough and did the same on the edges. Then I
zigzagged around the edge and around each of the 4 holes, that makes your dough
thicker.
You will need 1- 3inch round cookie cutter ( .99 at World
Market), and a 9 inch rolling pin
"Gifts of time and love are surely the basic ingredients of
a truly merry Christmas."
