Tiny Drawstring Bag
What will you use it for? Lucky pebbles, guitar picks, tiny presents...
This little bag is easy to sew and a cheerful way to use up small scraps of fabric.
I made this at TechShop the other night while I was waiting for my husband to finish a bit of soldering, and so this is another in my ongoing series of "I made it at TechShop" Instructables.
You can hand sew this project if you are not in a hurry. I used a sewing machine.
