Hello.
Today I'd like to show you the way to make a drawstring bag from square.

This is the bag.
It has two pockets on the outside with flaps.

If you have a hanky, you can make the bag from it.
I didn't have any to use, so I used two pieces of squares for it.

Here we go.

I cut each fabric in 16 inches square. From them, I made approx. 6.5 inches square pouch.

I sewed them together leaving the space to turn it out.

I turned it out and closed the space. If you make it with your hanky, please begin from the next step.

The fabric what I used for the outside is my favorite one (* v *).

By the way,,, today I organized my stashes so I chose some of my favorites and cut little pieces.
scraps for my next giveaway
They are for my next give away. Now I have 5-6 books for it, so I can choose 5-6 readers. I'd like to thank you for all and choose as many as I can.
Please give me some time more to prepare.

Thank you for reading again.
Today's work was a little hard for me, but I'm fine at all(* v *).

Oh, by the way, I made this toast today. It was quite easy and simple.
Cookpad Toast recipe
I know you cannot read Japanese, but it has pictures.
1) Cut the bread like the picture.
2)Put it on the pan and put some oil in the square. Put an egg, salt and pepper in it and mix them.
3) Put a slice of cheese on the egg.
4) Put the square left at step 1 on it.
5) Turn it out.
That's all! I put a slice of ham also.

See you (* v *)!!!!
