I am so excited. I plan on sewing bags for christmas this year (bought the fabric on clearance in january). BUT, my DD's b-day is today and I just finished wrapping her presents in 100% cloth and fabric ribbon! I cut up a lavender bridesmaid's dress which will never be worn again, and just started wrapping. I used ribbon (mostly from the same wedding) to tie it, no tape, no pins, nothing. I didn't even finish the edges, I just tucked them in after I tied the ribbon on. I figure a little fraying isn't a big deal, it's not like it will get heavy use.
I also used cloth napkins to wrap the smaller stuff, more ribbon, looks awesome! It is much classier w/ the cloth than paper or giftbags. I am going to have to scour thrift shops for dresses in boy colors (and maybe wool suits for DH's gifts)
Oh, and I use my DD's artwork to wrap ALL presents that leave the house, no matter who they are for.
Just had to pass it on, I am psyched!
