Draw-string bags

Hi guys!
This post it going to teach you how to make a simple drawstring bag, which you can use to hold anything.

You will need:
-fabric
-ribbon
-thread
-needles

Lay out your fabric and cut it to the right size of the thing you want to hold. Turn you fabric inside out, and running stitch around three of the sides, leaving a little gap at the top of the two vertical sides

Turn the bag inside out. We are now going to sew the drawstring part. Fold the excess fabric down, the fold it again slightly to create a small seam. Sew the folded down fabric to the rest of the bag. Repeat for the other side.

 Now we have to thread the ribbon through the hole. I find it easier to put the ribbon on a safety pin first, then thread the safety pin through the hole. Make sure the ribbon has gone all the way through the bag, then flat the bag and tie of the ribbon. Cut off the ends. 

There you have it, your bag is finished. Try making your bag in different sizes for different things.
