Project 3: Drawstring Gift Pouch.
For my next Home Ec project I made a medium sized drawstring gift pouch. Instead of wrapping a gift with paper, I created this pretty pouch that acts as a bonus gift and reusable bag! The main part of the pouch is made from a reproduction french provincial cotton and the upper band is made from linen. For the drawstring I used twill tape which more or less feels like ribbon. My past Home Ec projects can be found here (pin cushion, cloth napkins).
