I began with some white scrap fabric – it’s actually the bottom of some Ikea curtains that were cut because they were too long. See, it really does pay to save those scraps! (The material I used is very thin. If I were buying material, I would use basic white muslin. It’s inexpensive and has a nice weight for a bag.) I folded the fabric in half to a width of 6”. I chose to cut the bag 10” long, for a finished size of about 5 ½ ” x 9 ½ ”. But you can make the bag any size you’d like. Because of the fold, I only had to sew two sides to make the bag. I used a straight stitch and a ½” seam allowance.
