Simple drawstring bags


I needed a couple of bags to contain some tiny toys Elise will be getting for Christmas. If the toys have a home, there's hope they might get put away. I had never made these before and just sort of winged it with fabric and twill tape scraps I had on hand.


This pink one was made from the leftover side from the pillow I made and then disassembled. It's a long and skinny 9" x 16" when flat. Bigger than it needs to be, but I just used the entire piece of fabric.


The yellow ginham bag is smaller at approximately 9" x 9" inches (again, made from a scrap and the scrap determined the size). I made it to house the matching game I made earlier this year.


Pay no mind that Elise is playing with the farm animals she is getting for Christmas in the above photo.
