SHOESTRING: DRAWSTRING BAG FROM GOODWILL T-SHIRT WIPES

The Goodwill in upstate South Carolina sells bags of "rags" made from unsold t-shirts. Some are from the middle of the shirts and others from the bottom.  

These bags are only $1. I made the bag in the picture using one of the bottoms. Super fast and cheap. I can make 20 bags from on package. 


I took one and cut it in half, making sure both halves still have the hem. The hem will be the casing for the drawstring. 

Fold in half and pin. 

Sew up the side and bottom. Be sure not to sew up the casing. 

I put a small box pleat in the bottom bug totally optional. 

I took on of the wipes from another bag and cut two strips of the bottom (3/4"?)


See two of the ends together. 

Once done, pull on the strips and will curl. 


Feed through the casing, safety pin one end to make it easier to feed. 

Once all the way through, even up the drawstring and tie a knot in each end. 

Easy and cheap!
