Drawstring Bags (Gym & Produce)

Instructions

1. Cut three pieces of fabric: one 10x12 in, one 12x14 in, and one 14x16 in.

2. Fold down 1 inch along the top edge of each fabric piece to create a casing for the drawstring.

3. Sew a straight stitch along the folded edge of each casing, leaving a 1/4 in seam allowance.

4. Cut three pieces of cord: one 24 in, one 30 in, and one 36 in for each bag respectively.

5. Use a safety pin to thread the cord through the casing of each bag, pulling it through until both ends are even.

6. Sew the bottom of each bag with a French seam: place the fabric pieces right sides together, sew a 1/4 in seam along the bottom, trim the seam allowance, turn the bag inside out, and sew another 1/4 in seam along the bottom.
