    Thank you. I’m gonna make some little ice packet bags to hold the ice packs at the hospital . I’m using the hospital gowns that have ripped and are called rejects . Sometimes the laundry sends them back with a knot that just won’t quit . I think it’ll be cute to make the Icepak bag cover to protect the patients skin. ❤

    January 27 2024: This is going to be a fun project to share with my teen grandchildren that live with me. I figure while they are sitting helping we could have memoriable conversations. My Mom uses to do so many hand sewing and at her feet were us children. We just need to take a break from electronics and I do believe my two grandchildren that live with me will enjoy it. I will have them pick materials for bags for Advent and birthday’s. I have three grandchildren ages 20, 16 and ! I am a Retiree from the US Army and embracing my life right now. I returned from war and sewing to knitting was my special time with faith.

    I have a friend who has a retirement party coming up and I'm going to make her a Retirement Survival Kit with different items in it. However, I couldn't think of what to put it all in and this is a perfect bag with a liner and a draw string to put all her little items in. Thank you so much. It will be so cute. Appreciate your video.

    Best. Bag. Ever. I was searching through so many drawstring bag videos as I’m awful at them. Used this to make a bigger bag for a gift and it turned out better than any I’ve ever done. I added a squared off bottom so easily too after sewing the top stitch.

    Thanks for the great tutorial Erica! My husband had game tokens he needed a bag for. As soon as I came to YT to search, I hoped I’d find a tutorial from you - lucky me! Your instructions were straightforward and my bag turned out great. Definitely took me more than 5-10 min, but I’ve been away from my machine for many weeks, so I had to get back in the groove.

    I came across some fabric sample books last year, tons of random fabric squares. These would make great gift card bags and some gift card holders are like five dollars. I could just make them and probably get a couple dollars. Great idea, thank you.

My sister is going to love it! I have the fabric will just need lining fabric. Infact I have plenty of ribbon too! Thank you so much for sharing!

    • @apiecemaker1163
      @apiecemaker1163 3 года назад +1

    Great step by step tutorial. I made one before, but it took a lot longer without a tutorial. I like that your bag is fully lined. I think it will be a good idea to have several sizes to use as gift bags around Christmas time. I also generally give a pack of 10 handmade cards as gifts, so I’ve sized my bag to fit them. They are reusable packaging. Thanks!

    These are so cute. I made twenty one but it took me about 30 minutes per bag. Thank you for sharing your tutorial.

    Thank you so much for sharing this fabulous tutorial. It is just what I needed for my lavender sachets with a little embroidery on the front and a lavender ribbon. I love the way you do this!!!
