Drawstring Bags with a Sewing Theme


For my quilt guild meeting this month, I made a sewing-themed drawstring bag.  I found a cute image of a sewing machine on one of my fabrics and then added some button fabrics, word fabric, checkered ribbon and some measuring tape ribbon.  I finished it off with a crocheted flower and button.

 It measures about 7.5 x 9.5 inches.  I made up my own pattern and had so much fun making this!

Like most craft projects, you can't make just one.  So I made another one.  This one doesn't have a sewing machine, but some other sewing images on it.  I scrounged around and found some assorted ropes for the drawstrings.

When I made another sewing machine one, I noticed that I forgot to put the measuring tape and ribbon on it when it was too late.  But it still came out cute.  I gave these away to a couple of my sewing buddies.

The next day I went into my sewing room and made more from some different fabrics, this time with lighter colors.  They don't take super long to make and they are a lot of fun.  I will be giving these two away, also.  

I forgot to make one for myself so guess I'll just have to keep at it.  LOL
