Drawstring Bags and Other Stuff

I don't like drawstring bags. :-o

I don't know why, but they just bug me.  ;-)

But I wanted to make DGD a little bag for her little toys~

no zippers, just something simple.

So I googled, and went through Pintrest and~~

then I saw this post~

 Storage Solutions

And my little light bulb started flashing!! LOL

Did you ever make bound buttonholes for a garment?

Did you ever make 'cheater' buttonholes with bias tape?

I did! I did! 

And I remembered how easy the bias tape ones were! LOL

I didn't follow her tutorial to make my little bag~ I wanted it double sided, so the Hello Kitty print would show through in the back of the bag. I didn't want exposed seams, so I used more bias tape, and I didn't need it so large.

I had a remnant of the Hello Kitty fabric, pink parachute cord and an idea.

I love how it all came together!

Did you know WalMart sells the parachute cord in all sorts of fun colors? 

I'm getting a little collection. :o

I was quite busy this past week making baby items.  A new grand is due any day now. :-)

I made a diaper bag a while back~

Pattern is the Nappy Bag from Sewing Patterns by Mrs H

Now I added a quilt~

all various flannels

And burp cloths~

I didn't have any pattern for the quilt or burp cloths, just playing around.

I am working on getting the binding on a quilt for DGD too.  So hopefully pix of that soon!

Until next time~

Happy Stitchin'!!
