First of all, I feel terrible. I have no real pictures. But I have a good excuse! My needle broke on my machine, and it was my last one. I haven't gotten to buying new ones yet. So I just had to settle with cartoons.

You Will Need (4 things)

  • 1 yd Outside Fabric
  • 12 yd Lining Fabric
  • Sewing Skills /Machine
  • Ribbon Or Yarn

Steps (5 steps, 30 minutes)

  1. 1

    Cut your fabric to the desired size + 1/4 inch on each side for sewing room, and 1 inch extra on the top. If you are using a lining, make sure you cut this at this time, too. Cut 2 of each.

  2. 2

    Sew the lining and fabric together, but only on the bottom so it's not to bulky.

  3. 3

    Fold over the top of the now 2 peices of fabric and sew so there is a hole on the top that you can easily feed yarn/ribbon through.

  4. 4

    Sew the 2 peices of fabric together inside out.
    (sorry, this image isn't too good.)

  5. 5

    Flip inside out and thread yarn/ribbon in and tie it! Then, slide it so the tied part is inside the bag and it looks like one long continuous rope.

    Viola!
