My son turned 8 this week and in preparation for his party (the morning of), I sewed up party bags to hold the favors. They were EASY and if you've sewn a bit you could easily figure them out, but I took a snap shot of the process to share. I used my serger for these but you could just as easily make them up without one.
1. I started with a rectangle about 9"X6" and serged the top.
2. Then I folded it in half and sewed together the other two sides.
3. Next, to form a casing, I folded down the top about an inch and stitched right on top of the serged edge.
4. Then I unpicked the side seam just enough to fit a safety pin through and I threaded a piece of yarn to make a drawstring. Here's a close up of the opening.
And that was that!! It took me about an hour to make them. The serger is speedy!!.
Okay...that wasn't too exciting so I'll just show you my new ironing board cover. It is bright and cheery and only took me about 20 minutes to do.
Love the ironing board cover! (And I LOVE that the ironing board folds up into the wall!) I will need to try that gathering technique sometime.
Sorry, no tips for speed blogging! It always takes too long!
