Next, fold out the edges on both ends and pin.
Sew around both edges leaving at least 1/2 inch for the elastic to lace through. Make sure you leave a small whole to be able to insert the elastic, don’t connect your starting stitch to you ending stitch.
Cut a piece of elastic the width of your tube, give or take an inch (this will be roughly half the size of the width of your original piece of fabric, you want it to contract back up.) Lace your elastic through each edge, I safety pinned on end to the fabric itself so that if I accident let go I wouldn’t lose it in the tube).
When you have your elastic all the way though, sew the ends together.
Turn everything right side out and both ends should look like this.
Next grab a piece of matching ribbon or jute. Attach two pieces to one end on both sides (so that you have two pieces to tie around something)
Finally, STUFF with all those annoying bags… pull from either end when needed!
And capture the cutest little girl ever enjoying her favorite place to play! Well, that part is just for me 🙂
Happy Tuesday friends! Hope you are all done with your Christmas shopping 🙂
This really makes me want to learn how to sew. I would love to get a handle on those plastic bags. Very cute!
Great idea! Seriously, my cabinet is being taken over by plastic bags right now. This is on my to-make list (which is waaay too long).
