Fabric Bag With a Crochet Drawstring

February 1, 2017

Small Fabric Bags with Crochet Drawstring - finished bagWe each have a need to keep our little valuable items, whatever they may be, nearby. I noticed that there was really no place to store these things other than in a cup or saucer. So I made these bags for everyone in our home. They are perfect for holding trinkets, chargers, or earbuds. The fabric is so beautiful. I am going to make more. I love them so much!
