Sometimes, it’s nice to sew something that is quick and easy and almost guaranteed to succeed. This is one of those projects.
It’s a small drawstring bag I made in between other projects. It was a gift.
The pattern is the Lined Drawstring Bag from Jeni Baker Patterns. It comes in eight sizes and this is the smallest. My finished bag is about 4.5″ by 3.25″ by 1.5″(or 11.5 cm by 8 cm by 4 cm).
This really is tiny – just the right size for a handful of dice. It’s not the first time I’ve used the pattern. You can see some other examples in an older post.
I used quilting cotton left over from a quilt I made. The flat cord is from Our Social Fabric, a non-profit fabric store selling donated deadstock fabric and supplies.
This pattern is pretty foolproof and I’d highly recommend it.
