Have spare fabric and looking for an easy sewing project? Why not make a drawstring bag for children aging out of foster care? This bag would be used for his/her belongings instead of a trash bag they currently are given.
Using just basic measurements, no 2 bags are exactly alike. The fabric really doesn't matter! The width can be between 40" and 44" and the length 33" to 36". Smaller pieces can be sewn together, too. A channel can be folded over 1" on the longer side to run the cord through. And voila you have a bag! (So many tutorials online if needed like: diy-drawstring bag, large bag tutorial, or Drawstring bag Video- but these tutorials have different size dimensions!) Bring your bag to monthly meetings or sew days for Karol to collect.
Thank you for helping to send kids out with a bag of their own!
