Three ready-made Christmas bags with an Aida front panel waiting to be stitched: a steaming mug, a pile of presents and a decorated little cake. The stitching is worked in counted cross stitch from a large-square chart, with a few long stitches and back stitch for the outlines.
Because the bags are already sewn, all that is left is the embroidery and then closing them with the supplied yarn and ribbon. Hang them on the tree, use them as place markers or as wrapping for a small gift, a chocolate or a note. Good light helps with the fine count, and a small hoop if you prefer; each bag is quick enough for an afternoon.
