Sewing has been sporadic as of late here at Threading My Way. My motivation is back, but time is not always on my side, both for sewing and blogging. So, a quick post today to show you some drawstring bags I recently made.
I used my small gift bag tutorial, enlarging the size of the cut fabric to 11" x 13", and boxing the corners to 1½"
All up I made 13 bags in multiples of the fabrics above.
I'll pop various toiletries into each drawstring bag to be part of a larger project for It's in the Bag. Basically, I try to purchase goods on sale throughout the year, plus sew a few items to put into large bags for disadvantaged women. The collection's not till November, so I'll give you more details closer to the date.
Last year I made up bags for three women. This year I'm aiming for seven. I'm almost there.

Good on you for your charitable sewing, even when time's at a premium, Pam. If I could handle sewing the same things over and over, I might be able to match your generosity.
ReplyDeleteTo answer your question, though, I must admit that the only drawstring bag I use is my shoe bag.
Clearly your idea of not doing much sewing and mine are different Pam! I would be delighted to have produced 13 of anything :)
ReplyDeleteThat's so lovely, I bet your gifts are really appreciated. You are so thoughtful.
ReplyDeleteHey, ik las je post over naaien en dat deed me eraan herinneren dat ik zelf ook even iets ontspannends zocht. Zo kwam ik toevallig op https://spingranny.be , dat speciale bonussen biedt voor spelers uit België. Ik probeerde een paar rondes van de gokkasten en verloor eerst wat, maar daarna kwam er ineens een flinke winst. Het was een leuke manier om even te ontspannen en mijn hoofd leeg te maken na drukte. Sindsdien speel ik er af en toe gewoon om even te ontsnappen en plezier te hebben.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading this creative post about making drawstring toiletry bags. Sewing simple fabric bags is such a thoughtful idea, especially when they can be used to organize everyday items or included in care packages for people in need. Projects like these show how handmade items can be both practical and meaningful. Drawstring bags are especially useful because they can hold small essentials and keep things neatly organized during travel or daily routines.
ReplyDeleteIn a similar way, students also look for practical solutions when life becomes busy and overwhelming. Balancing studies, work, and personal responsibilities can sometimes make academic tasks difficult to manage. That’s why many learners search for reliable academic support options online. For those facing tight deadlines or complex assignments, services that allow you to pay someone to do my homework can provide helpful guidance and reduce stress while keeping studies on track.
