The first photo I ever saw of these exquisite little Bento Bags — cleverly designed for carrying produce — was of apples spilling out of the natural linen one (the only fabric available at that time), and my mind’s eye instantly replaced the apples with yarn balls. I ordered two on the spot and they’ve […]

I really love my serger but it does have a small problem. The massive amount of shred and thread makes me a little crazy. So today I’m going to show you how I made my thread catcher Supplies Fat Quarter of fabric for the outside of the bag Lining Boning Large Eyelets. Screws or Hooks Cut two squares from your main fabric of side length 13 and 5 inches. Cut a 12X13 inch rectangle from the lining fabric. Fold the large square with right sides together sew it into a tube. Fold the lining so that the 12 inch edges meet and sew another tube. Iron your seams flat. Iron a 1/2 inch fold on a pair of opposite edges of the small square. Sew the folds down, and iron it in half so that the unfinished edges meet. Turn the tube of the main fabric right side out and insert it inside the lining tube. The Liner tube is shorter so just line up the seams and one set of edges. Sandwich the smaller piece so that the raw edges line up with the raw edges of both tubes, centering it with the seam. Pull your lining off the main fabric so that you have one long tube. Iron it flat. Then tuck the lining inside and line up the raw edges. About a 1/2 inch of the main color fabric will be inside the tube. Iron the fold at the opening. Cut a length of boning a little longer than the circumference of the opening. This should be roughly 25 inches long. Make it into a hoop. I did this by siding the plastic about an inch out of the casing and then inserting that plastic length into the opposite edge of the casing. Place the boning hoop between the lining and outer fabric and slide it all the way up to the folded edge. Then sew the boning in place as shown. Turn the bag inside out and slide the lining up to expose the wrong side of the main fabric. (If you don’t care about having raw edges in the interior don’t slide up the lining and you’ll cut a few step out of the process.) Center your seam and sew the opening closed. I did the bottom corners the same way that I did in the 20-min gift bag tutorial – Fold the corner so that it is a triangle with the seam centered. Line up your ruler to be perpendicular to the seam and cut off a triangle with a height of 1.5 inches as shown. Sew this closed and repeat for the other corner. If you sewed your lining in the last section then skip down to the eyelets. Otherwise pull the lining up, tucking the main fabric out of the way. Center the seam and then sew the opening closed with a 1/4 in seam allowance. Fold the edge over a 1/4 inch twice and sew it down. Then fold your triangle corners again but this time don’t cut it. Push your main fabric back up into the corners. You can’t see it from the picture but my stitching for the triangles is also going through the main fabric. This will hold the lining in place. To finish off your lining pull the corners towards each other and whip stitch in place. Turn the bag right side out and admire the bottom, inside and out. Lastly I added some large eyelets to the corners of the flaps. I used this to permanently mount to my table with screws. Alternately you could put hooks in the bottom of the table so and hang it from that. My machines are currently on a table that has already been cycled through two of my friends. I’m probably the last owner so I didn’t mind that drilled some screws directly into it. I placed my serger at the edge of the table and now all the scraps just fall directly into the bag.

Happy Wednesday, and welcome to week four of the Lined Drawstring Bag Sew Along! If you're just joining in on the fun now, you can find all the previous sew along posts here: Lined Drawstring Bag Sew Along Schedule. This is the last of the formal sew along posts, but I'll be sharing more of my personal projects later this week or early next. I'll also be sharing your projects in my Instagram stories this week! Today I have another tutorial for you! We'll be adding a simple slip pocket to the exterior of the bag! Perfect for a small gift, gift tag or small card! Or make a tiny pocket and use it for the tooth fairy! We'll be working with the Everything Bag size (same as the tutorial), but there are tips at the end of the post for adding one to other sizes from the pattern. For reference: Lined Drawstring Bag Tutorial Lined Drawstring Bag Pattern Lined Drawstring Bag Expansion Pattern I was inspired to write this tutorial after making some drawstring bags from thrifted button down shirts last year. Read more about those bags in this post: Upcycled Lined Drawstring Gift Bags + How to Cut up a Button Down Shirt . I had originally planned to simply repurpose the fabric from the shirts, but ended up repurposing the pockets too. They turned out so cute, I knew I wanted to eventually write this tutorial. You'll find instructions for a simple pocket, but you could definitely get creative and make different style pockets to add to your bags! A dress shirt style pocket or maybe a pocket with a rounded bottom would be really fun. The instructions below are for a 4" finished pocket. Head to the end of this post for guidance on other pocket sizes and apply pocekets to the other bag sizes. Sewing Level: Beginner Friendly Finished size: Approx. 10" tall, 7" wide, 3" deep Pocket Lined Drawstring Bag Materials: - 3 Fat quarters (18"x21") - 1 Fat eighth pocket fabric - 2 yards of 1/2" twill tape, or 1/8 yd fabric - Coordinating thread - Acrylic ruler - Large safety pin - Water soluble pen Looking for supplies? Check out my Pattern Supplies and Resources post. Pocket Lined Drawstring Bag Cutting: From Exterior Main Fabric: - Cut (1) 9”x21” strip - Subcut into (2) 9”x10.5” pieces From Exterior Accent Fabric: - Cut (1) 4”x21” strip - Subcut into (2) 4”x10.5” pieces From Interior Fabric: - Cut (1) 12.5”x21” strip - Subcut into (2) 12.5”x10.5” pieces From Pocket Fabric: - (2) 4.5" squares If using fabric for ties: - Cut (2) 32”x2” strips If using twill for ties: - Cut (2) 32" pieces Pocket Lined Drawstring Bag Instructions: *Use a 1/4” seam allowance unless otherwise noted* Before constructing the bag, we first need to make the slip pocket and attach it to one of the Exterior Main pieces. Place pocket pieces right sides together. Pin around all four sides, leaving a small opening for turning in the side that will be the bottom of the pocket. Sew around all four sides, backstitching when you start and finish, leaving the opening unsewn. Trim seam allowance down to 1/8" at the corners to reduce bulk. Turn pocket right sides out and press well. Top stitch along the top edge of the pocket piece. Center the pocket across the width of the Exterior Main piece (for the Everything Bag 10.5" is the width) and place it 1" down from the top edge of the Exterior Main piece. Pin pocket in place. Top stitch along both sides and the bottom to secure the pocket to the exterior and close up the opening left for turning. Trim away any threads and press well. For bag construction, refer to the free tutorial or the lined drawstring bag pattern. If you need extra guidance on the construction, please refer to the video tutorial. Here are the approximate maximum size pockets you could add for each bag size included in the Lined Drawstring Bag Pattern. Also suggestions for how far down to place the top of the pocket on the Exterior Main. For a pocket that is completely centered in the finishd bag exterior, I recommend checking out my Lined Drawstring Bag Expansion Pattern. It explains exactly how to find the center of the exterior main and how to center something on it, in great detail! Max. Finished Pocket Size* Placement from Top Edge Tiny Bag 2"x2" 3/4" Snack Bag 4"x3" 3/4" Everything Bag 5.5"x5.5" 1" Project Bag 7"x7" 1" Artist Bag 9"x9" 1.25" Laundry Bag 17"x10" 2" CD Bag 5"x5" 1/2" DVD Bag 9"x7" 1/2" *Add .5" to both dimensions of the desired finished pocket size when cutting. (Example: Finished pocket size 2"x2", cut pocket pieces 2"x2") I hope this tutorial is useful! It's a simple addition to a plain bag, that makes it even cuter for gifting! Happy Sewing!

I have had a blast this weekend making little Tea Wallets! They are quick and easy and would lend themselves well to mass production if you are so inclined. Step 1. Cut 4 pieces of fabric 5" x 7" (if you want to put credit cards in them, you will want to go 5" x 8") Cut 1 piece of interfacing the same size. Cut 1 piece of fabric for your closure 1 1/2" x 6" or use a piece of ribbon or elastic if you wish. Once you make one, you can change it up as you need. Step 2. Take two pieces of the fabric and fold in half length wise and press, now top stitch along the folded edge. Step 3. Place the interfacing behind one of the remaining pieces of 5" x 7" fabric and line up one of your "pocket" folded pieces 1 inch from the bottom and stitch in place along the bottom only of that "pocket". Step 4. Place the next pocket, again with the folded edge to the top, raw edges placed along the bottom of your wallet and again stitch in place along that raw edge on the bottom only. Step 5. Line a ruler up, half the width of your piece, in this case 3 1/2 " and make a mark on the pockets with either disappearing ink or chalk (something that can be erased or removed easily) this will be your stitching line for the pockets, you do not need to stitch all the way to the top. Step 6. Take your narrow strip and fold it in half length wise, press. Now fold the raw edges into the center of the fold and press again so that you have created a finished strip. Place them straddling the bottom pocket as shown below and stitch in place. Have your fold the way you want the closure to look as it will not change direction or shape when the wallet is completed. Step 7. Place your remaining piece of fabric on top right sides together, pin your corners and if necessary, your edges, then stitch around all sides leaving a 2-3 inch space at the bottom for turning. Step 7. Trim the corners carefully and turn the wallet through the opening at the bottom. I use the blunt end of a bamboo skewer to pop out the corners, you can use a knitting needle, just be careful not to puncture the fabric. Press and top stitch close to the edge. Step 8. Stitch a button to the front side for the closure...I have yet to decide what I want to use as a button for this one. Here are some other wallets I made this weekend...
