    \u2702\ufe0f Step-by-Step Instructions:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    1. Cut the Fabric<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Cut two pieces of fabric: one for the outer layer<\/strong> and one for the lining<\/strong> (each 10″ x 10″, or any square size you want).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • If you’re adding lace, ruffles, or embroidery, do this now on the outer fabric.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      2. Place Fabrics Right Sides Together<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • Stack the fabrics with the right sides facing each other<\/strong> (the pretty sides).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Pin or clip them to keep in place.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

        3. Sew Around the Edges<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • Sew three sides<\/strong> (left, bottom, right) using a \u00bc” seam allowance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Leave the top open<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • If you’re using a lining fabric, do the same for the lining but leave a 2\u201d opening on one side (you\u2019ll turn the bag through this later).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          4. Box the Corners (Optional for a flat bottom)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          • Pinch each corner to form a triangle. Measure 1″ from the tip and draw a line.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Sew along the line, then cut off the triangle, leaving a \u00bc” seam.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Repeat for all corners on both outer and lining pieces.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
            \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

            5. Join the Outer and Lining<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            • Turn the outer fabric right side out<\/strong> and place it inside the lining<\/strong>, which is still wrong side out. This means right sides are facing each other<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Align the top edges and sew all around the top opening.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              6. Turn It Right Side Out<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              • Pull the bag right side out through the 2″ hole in the lining<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Sew the hole in the lining shut with a small stitch (hand stitch or machine).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Push the lining inside the outer fabric and press with an iron for neatness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                7. Make the Casing for the Drawstring<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
                  \n
                • Fold down the top edge (about \u00bd\u201d to 1\u201d) and sew around the edge, leaving a small gap for the ribbon or cord.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                  8. Insert the Drawstring<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
                    \n
                  • Use a safety pin to thread the ribbon or cord<\/strong> through the casing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • Tie the ends together or add little beads for cuteness!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                      \n
                    • Add lace trim<\/strong> to the top edge.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • Use patterned fabric<\/strong> with characters or animals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
