It's the Second Day of Christmas at CKC and today's free project is one we can all enjoy! You can make it as a whimsical holiday decoration or use it for gift giving. Not only is the sewing pattern free, but we even included a little extra bonus embroidery file!
How cute is this?! Today's sewing pattern comes from Tiffany A and the embroidery file was designed by Heather. We are having way too much fun with this series behind the scenes!

Making the Santa Sack
- Place the two Santa Sack pieces on top of each other, right sides together, and sew along the two long sides and one short side.
- On the open end, fold down the top 1/2" and then again 1". Hem all the way around.
- Pin the casing in place around the top of the bag, approximately 2" down. Sew 1/8" from the edges along both long sides.
Using a safety pin, thread your drawstring through your casing. Tie a knot in the ends of your drawstring. You are all done!

It's your turn to make one! We hope you enjoy today's free project - please share your photos with us when you're done! I know my kids are going to flip when they see what I have in mind for theirs.
