So our challenge last week was to make a drawstring bag. I used this tutorial to make my bag. There were a couple things I did differently. First, I made my bag 1 1/2 times the size their bag was. Secondly, instead of just ironing the long sides, I basted them together first so that it would not be as konky when ironed. Also, if I made this bag again, I might make the contrasting fabric larger, just so you can see more of it.
This bag is for my P.E. clothes. How attractive is it to carry around a plastic grocery bag with you p.e. clothes in it?? Not very attractive! So, yes, finally, at the end of the school year, I decided I needed to do something different!! It works wonderful though, and it's the perfect size for me! If I needed more stuff in it, like shoes, or whatever, it would definitely need to be bigger, but since it's just my clothes, it suits me just fine:)
Did you make a drawstring bag of some sort this week? I would love to see what yours looks like! Link up below and the button code is on the sidebar!
This weeks challenge is to do some fun project with kids. I was going to say some sewing project or something, but it's supposed to be nice all week long, and I don't think I'm going to really want to be sewing this week, when we haven't had that much nice weather this year . . . so, yeah, do some fun craft project with kids:)
