    Craft Some Handy Storage Pouches

    Whether you're packing a suitcase or storing items at home, these drawstring pouches are handy to have around

    3 February 2015

    Make them in a range of sizes, perfect for storing jewellery, shoes, plastic bags and even laundry.

    To Make
    1 Cut out two rectangles from fabrics that pair well together (one for the outer, one for the lining).

    2 Fold the rectangles in half widthways then pin together, right sides facing, along the sides.

    3 Sew together with a 1.5cm seam allowance. Stop and start stitching 3cm from the open edge on one side of the bag (this is for the drawstring casing).

    4 Turn the outer bag through to the right side and iron. With the lining bag still right sides together, insert it into the outer bag, matching up the seams.

    5 With the main bag and the lining short edges together, fold and pin a 1.5cm double hem and sew it in place.

    6 For the drawstring, use bias tape, twill tape, or cord. Attach a safety pin to one end and thread it through the open end in the casing. Tie the ends into a knot.
