Easy Peasy Drawstring Baggie
I decided to make a few of these for the kids for advent. This is our first year to all be participating. My little dude is 6 and the Cuppicake is 4, so they both kind of "get it" now :) ((getting the gift part...anyways))
This one is super easy. You can do it by hand as well, if you don't have access to a sewing machine.
I decided on 3 fabrics for the main body of the bag and another one for the drawstring.
CUT:
2 pieces (the main body) to 11" X 8"
2 pieces (the top band of the bag) 11" X 4" {I used different fabrics for each side}
1 piece 1.5" X 35" {I wanted a tattered effect, so I left the fabric ripped at the edges}
Assembly:
Put the top of the bag to the body, right sides together.
Sew them together. Do both sides....
Press, Press, Press {again, I was going for tattered, to I did not finish (press) the sides}
Press the top band in half
Topstitch
Now sew those two sides together up to the top band {don't forget to start and end with a backstitch}
Turn inside out
Get your drawstring and attach a safety pin at one end
Feed it through your first band
then the next
Snip it in 1/2
Fill with goodies, cinch and admire!
See...I told you that would be easy peasy!
Hugs and Blessings,
Ingrid
