Step 4Make Drawstring Casing
Fold over and sew
Fold top (selvedge edge) of bag over (fold over on inside/wrong side of bag) about 1" or so.
Pin in place with a few pins (you'll save more time pinning than trying to keep the casing straight by hand).
Starting at one seamed side, Sew around about 1/4" from the selvedge edge, leaving about 3/4" for the drawstring casing. Sew nearly all the way around the bag, leaving a 1" gap between the end of the seam and the beginning. This is where you will be threading the drawstring through.
(Note: if you used the cut pieces of fabric, you might want to fold top over about 1/2", iron, and then fold again to create a finished edge for the casing.)
