Supplies:
-drawstring bag
-running belt
-needle
-thread
-scissors
-needle threader (optional, but makes life a whole lot easier)

Estimated Time: 20-30 minutes

A very effective way to do this is by the running stitch. First, u thread the needle and make sure you do not cut the thread from the stool yet. Then, you tie a knot on one end of the thread. You move the needle over and under the fabric multiple times. Pull the needle completely through. If you need to continue, tug on the needle so you have more thread to use and move the needle over and under again.

Turn the Bag Outside-out
