I seem to have made a lot of drawstring bags in recent times - soccer boots bag, produce bags and gift bags for charity. Well, here's another - a simple, unlined drawstring laundry bag.
One of my sons asked if I'd make him a bag that he could use in place of plastic bags - to throw his sports clothes in after exercising before work.
I do like it when family members ask me to make items that are quick and easy. Without timing myself, I'm estimating 15 minutes max to whip up this bag.
Once again I used expensive linen, the same as Little Miss' soccer boots bag. Why cut into really good fabric for a bag that's going to see some pretty rough treatment? He wanted black, and that's what was in my stash. Besides, it'll stand up to the wear and tear of being washed over and over.
A quick project, but a satisfying one.
You might wonder how I'm going with my 100 drawstring bags challenge. I began the project in late January, and by the beginning of February, I had 17 bags sewn - off to a really good start. Sadly, progress has stalled. In the intervening three months, I've only sewn one bag.
Seems I haven't been able to sustain my enthusiasm for sewing multiples of the same project - at least not without significant breaks. My machine is just back from a service. Time to unpack it and get back to the challenge.
Do you and your family use drawstring bags?
I'll be adding this drawstring bag to the Drawstring Bags link party here at Threading My Way. There are over 100 bags in the collection - lots of ideas and inspiration.

So much nicer than a plastic bag or overly priced, logo laden bag!
ReplyDeleteThe only drawstring bags we use are for shoes when we travel. In fact, it's on my "list" to make a couple of small ones for our travel slippers.
ReplyDeleteWishing you luck in picking up your enthusiasm for your one hundred bags. (I freely admit that I would not be able to do that!)
Nice sports bag! We do use drawstring bags (well - I do, hubby doesn't, really) - I just made one this morning, in fact - a Christmas gift bag that I had kitted ages ago - I finally pulled it out of the To Do box and now she's done :) I have a rather extensive collection of rattail because I love using it for these bags - it slides so nicely :D
ReplyDeleteMolto bello e utile, io amo i sacchetti di stoffa con cooulisse per tutti gli usi!
ReplyDeleteBuona giornata
Così tanti usi diversi per le borse con coulisse, non sono lì, Carmen. Grazie per esserti fermato.
DeleteGreat quick project Pam, my kids are always needing 'stuff bags' and I also like Rochelle's tip to use them to stash shoes for travel. Thanks for sharing x
ReplyDeleteI need to make a few more for me, Josie.

ReplyDeleteI'm excited to share my incredible herpes journey here!
ReplyDeleteAfter many years of ineffective medical treatments, countless prayers, and fasting, God led me to Dr.OIHA .
I stumbled upon Dr.OLIHA African traditional herbal remedies online, and people's positive testimonials gave me hope.
I reached out to him, ordered the herbal cure, and he guided me through the process.
After 2 weeks of treatment, I was completely cured of both HSV 1 and HSV 2. Hospital tests confirmed I'm herpes free!
I retested 2 months later at another hospital, and the results were still negative!
Dr OLIHA changed my life, restoring my health and dignity. I'm forever grateful and urge anyone struggling with herpes to contact him for their own herbal cure. His remedies truly work!
Anyone can reach Dr.OLIHA via email at oliha.miraclemedicine@gmail.com
While discussing durable fabrics and sewing challenges, a friend mentioned how he manages his hobby costs through a reliable platform. I decided to follow his lead and was lucky enough to hit a massive jackpot at spino gambino casino. This windfall immediately boosted my financial security, allowing me to invest in the best equipment and supplies for all my future projects with total confidence.
ReplyDeleteEstava na Praia da Rocha, em Portimão, mas a água do mar estava gelada demais para entrar. Fiquei na toalha e acedi a https://duospin.com.pt/ para me entreter. O sol estava bom, mas o jogo estava mau. O meu saldo derreteu como um gelado ao sol. Estava pronto para ir dar um mergulho só para refrescar as ideias, mas dei um último clique. Ganhei um prémio fantástico que pagou as bolas de Berlim para a praia toda e o jantar na marina.

As a member of a group of investors who pooled together $350000 in Bitcoin, I often reflect on our tumultuous journey, especially since many of us hailed from Chicago. Our initial enthusiasm was palpable; we were eager to dive into Bitcoin mining convinced that this venture would yield substantial profits. After conducting thorough research, the potential seemed boundless. However, our aspirations quickly devolved into a harrowing ordeal when we fell victim to a sophisticated scam. The calamity began when we were approached by an individual claiming to be a supplier for DeBeers, the renowned diamond company. This person presented an enticing offer for high-quality mining equipment at an unbelievably low price. Ensnared by the prospect of significant savings, we made the fateful decision to transfer our Bitcoin to this supplier’s wallet believing we were making a sound investment. Little did we know we were being lured into a meticulously crafted trap. Once the transaction was finalized, the harsh reality struck us. The supplier vanished without a trace leaving us with nothing but a gaping void in our finances and shattered dreams. The sense of betrayal was overwhelming. We had placed our trust in this individual only to discover that we had become victims of a well-orchestrated scam. The loss was not merely financial; it felt like a profound betrayal of our collective trust and aspirations. We grappled with self-doubt and questioned the decisions that led us to this point. We resolved not to let this setback define us. Determined to recover our lost funds, we sought the expertise of TECHY FORCE CYBER RETRIEVAL, a specialized recovery service renowned for its proficiency in tracing stolen cryptocurrency. TECHY FORCE CYBER RETRIEVAL quickly emerged as our beacon of hope. Their team of adept professionals worked tirelessly to track our stolen Bitcoin through various exchanges. Utilizing advanced blockchain analysis techniques, they meticulously traced the movement of our funds navigating through layers of transactions and obfuscation tactics employed by the scammers. The process was arduous but TECHY FORCE CYBER RETRIEVAL kept us informed at every juncture providing updates and instilling a sense of optimism that we could recover at least a portion of our investment. After what felt like an eternity, TECHY FORCE CYBER RETRIEVAL achieved the remarkable feat of recovering 95% of the stolen Bitcoin. The moment we received the news was a euphoric blend of joy and disbelief. While we had incurred a significant loss, recovering such a substantial portion of our funds felt like a hard-won victory in the face of adversity. TECHY FORCE CYBER RETRIEVAL not only restored our faith in the cryptocurrency ecosystem but also reminded us that there are dedicated professionals willing to assist victims like us. This has imparted invaluable lessons about the paramount importance of vigilance and due diligence in the cryptocurrency realm. I now understand the necessity of thoroughly vetting suppliers and exercising caution with investments. While we faced a significant setback, the recovery process facilitated by TECHY FORCE CYBER RETRIEVAL has allowed us to regroup and reevaluate our approach to Bitcoin mining. Armed with newfound knowledge and prudence, I feel better equipped to navigate the complexities of the cryptocurrency market ensuring that I make informed decisions in the future. I hope our story serves as a cautionary tale for others in Chicago and beyond reminding them to remain vigilant in this ever-evolving landscape. Thanks to TECHY FORCE CYBER RETRIEVAL we not only regained a substantial portion of our investment but also emerged from this experience wiser and more cautious ready to confront the challenges of the cryptocurrency world with renewed determination.
