3. Simple Drawstring Bag
A drawstring bag is an easy and useful project that can be used for storing makeup, craft supplies, or even as a gift bag.
What you will need:
Lightweight cotton fabric, ribbon or cord, thread, and safety pin.
Steps:
- Cut two rectangles of fabric.
- Sew along three sides, leaving a small gap at the top for the drawstring.
- Fold the top edge down to create a casing and sew it in place.
- Use a safety pin to thread the ribbon or cord through the casing.
This project teaches you how to make casings and channel stitching, which are useful techniques for many future sewing projects.
