GiveWrap is a fun project inspired by the traditional wrapping clothes of Japan and Korea that aims to transform the culture of disposable gift wrap into one of reciprocal giving of treasured wrapping cloths. GiveWraps are given with a gift but not returned to the giver. Instead, they are given and regiven continually. 

 

They might be embroidered, appliquéd, pieced, quilted or printed and make use of any leftover bits of fabric (scraps, doilies, old pillow cases) you have to hand.

 What you will need to bring:

 

•        a sewing machine and your sewing kit

•       enough  fabric/scraps to make the front and the back of the wrap

•       any fabric you would like to swap

 

 

What you will take home:    

                                         

•     a GiveWrap ready to give

•     fresh fabric that fills you with inspiration
