4 Ideas for things to do with scraps: Fabric

Fabric is one thing I always have a ton of! Left over from projects or just remnants I just couldn't pass up. this project is simple and takes maybe 10 minutes!! I love quick and easy projects!!
Things you will need: Fabric , thread, serger and sewing machine (serger is not required),cutting tools, ribbon, safety pin.
Step 1- Cut fabric in to about a 10 x 12 rectangle.
Step 2- Serger or zig-zag all the way around your rectangle.

Step 3- Fold the top of long side down about an inch and a half to the inside and sew all the way across.
Step 4-Sew bottom and side on out side 1/2-1/4 in from edge.
Be sure not to sew through casing. Stop where the casing starts and always back stitch.
Step 5-Take a 15in or so strand of ribbon and thread through casing with safety pin. Tie ends together.
TA DA!!! You have a handy little bag !! great for gift giving or packaging etsy orders!!
