Easy Sewing Project: Make a Small Drawstring Bag

Supplies needed:
tee shirt knit 
(2) 1 3/4" x 21" 
cotton or cotton/polyester
(2) 3" x 10" for casing
(2) 10" x 10" for lining
(2) 10" x 10" for outside

I used my AccuQuilt cutter.

Hem the ends of the casing, double fold 3/8" wide.


Make a sandwich with the outer and lining, with the casing folded in-between.  Right sides together. 
Stitch all the way across. Backstitch at start and stop. About 3/8" seam allowance.

Match seams. Stitch all the way around, leaving a space in the lining to turn the bag right side out.
Watch for casing. You do not want to catch it in the side seam.

Turn right side out.

Stitch closed the hole in the lining.

Tuck lining in. Prepare to thread ties into casing.


Yay! Finished!

How many bags were completed in making of this video?
(Actually 6, my son confiscated one!)
