 | what you need...
- 1/2 yard fabric of choice
- matching fabric for string (1/2 yard?)
- thread
- scissors
- basic sewing materials
|
1. Fold your fabric in half. Cut it into two 11.25 in. pieces. Make one of them 13 inches long.
2. Place the two right sides (blank sides out) of the fabric together. Measure and mark 1 in. (1.5 is better) down for the string to go through.
3. Pin that down and sew as close to bottom of the fold as possible.
4. With the extra fabric (other 11.25 in. piece) cut out the other sized bags and repeat steps
2-3.

2. Turn the corners (shown in pictures 4-6).
3. Stop right before the band we made and backstitch.
4. Trim the edges and cut the corners. Turn right side out and admire!

Fabric Drawstring
I got the idea for this project over at acupofthuy. (my measurements are different)
