The womens group at my church gather toiletries throughout the year and we fill these bags. We then donate them to a place that helps support women and children experiencing homelessness and poverty. They offer many other resources, but this is one small part that we can contribute. I have also used these bags as a gift bag. I am sure there is probably a much easier way to make them and I am always open for suggestions.
Cut a piece of material 18 inches wide x 13 inches tall [ATTACH=CONFIG]247529[/ATTACH] Serge the top 18 inch width of material [ATTACH=CONFIG]247532[/ATTACH] Fold a 1 inch hem and press [ATTACH=CONFIG]247535[/ATTACH] Sew a button hole close to upper edge of hem. I use the fold to line up the button hole. Sew button hole on opposite upper edge of hem. Make a slit in center of each button hole. [ATTACH=CONFIG]247540[/ATTACH] Stitch top hem down [ATTACH=CONFIG]247542[/ATTACH] Fold material in half right sides together, serge side and bottom closed. [ATTACH=CONFIG]247551[/ATTACH] Turn right side out, run ribbon in button hole through the hem and out the other button hole. String ends of each ribbon through button and tie. [ATTACH=CONFIG]247560[/ATTACH] We fill our's with toiletries, but you could fill it with whatever you desire. Pull the button to secure and give it to someone special.
