Fabric wrap

Abstract

A dimpled fabric creation system and method is provided to form a dimpled fabric using a mold or machine having a plurality of protrusions and grooves, while avoiding the repetitive steps to manually shape each protrusion individually by trying portions of fabric individually. The protrusions may be of complex three dimensional shapes to form dimples in the fabric having corresponding complex three dimensional shapes. The system and method provide for creation of a dimpled fabric container, wherein the dimpled fabric container may be utilized in gift wrapping.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A gift wrap comprising:
 a dimpled fabric pouch comprising a bottom, one or more sidewalls, and an opening opposite the bottom, wherein a plurality of dimples are located on the one or more sidewalls and bottom of the dimpled fabric pouch and wherein the dimpled fabric pouch is reversibly expandable to take the shape of an object disposed therein;   a closure system, located about a periphery of an opening of the dimpled fabric pouch, connected to the sidewalls of the dimpled fabric pouch located below the periphery of the opening, wherein the closure system expands to widen the circumference of the opening and retracts to shrink the circumference of the opening above the object disposed in the dimpled fabric pouch; and   a fabric portion extending above the closure system, wherein the fabric portion extends away from the object disposed in the dimpled fabric pouch and does not take the shape of the object disposed in the dimpled fabric pouch.   
     
     
         2 . The gift wrap of  claim 1 , wherein the closure system comprises a passageway around the periphery of the opening and one or more drawstrings, wherein the one or more drawstrings are located through at least a portion of the passageway around the periphery of the opening and are exposed from within the passageway at one or more holes on the passageway. 
     
     
         3 . The gift wrap of  claim 2 , wherein the one or more drawstrings may be pulled at the one or more holes, where the one or more drawstrings are exposed from within the passageway, to shrink the circumference of the opening. 
     
     
         4 . The gift wrap of  claim 3 , wherein the one or more drawstrings may be extended from the one or more holes, where the one or more drawstrings are exposed from within the passageway, around the sidewalls of the dimpled fabric pouch to connect at the bottom of the dimpled fabric pouch to resemble a wrapped gift. 
     
     
         5 . The gift wrap of  claim 1 , wherein the fabric portion is dimpled. 
     
     
         6 . The gift wrap of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of dimples comprises one of: geometric shapes, humanoid figure shapes, animal shapes, letters, or numbers.
