Maker’s Heart Mini Pouch (Lined Drawstring Bag Tutorial)
Here’s a quick and easy tutorial for incorporating a simple paper-pieced heart into a mini lined drawstring bag, perfect for carrying any bitty goodies you want. I’m planning to fill these with some chocolates, a note, and a gift card for the teachers as a Valentine’s thank you, but the possibilities for these sweeties are endless. The main part of the Maker’s Heart Mini Pouch finishes at just 5” x 6”, and you could easily put several together in one night of sewing fun.
Simple Holiday Craft Ideas
Each year, I seem to kind of flip back and forth between wanting to make all the holiday gift items and decorations and just selecting a few small projects to work on. Regardless of which end of the cycle you might be in this year, quick, small handmade projects are always a fun way to sneak in a little special holiday sewing, and I’ve got several on the site that are just perfect for that.
