Who doesn’t love a good old fashioned pack-pack?

One that you can bring to school, to a sleepover, or to team practice.

Something that you can sling over your shoulder and go with.

3. Press the side seam open.

4. Iron the top edge under  1″.

5. Iron the ends of the ribbon under 5/8″.

6. Line both ends of the ribbon at the seam, 1/2″ from the top and pin in place.  Then continue pinning the ribbon evenly at the top.

7. Top stitch at the top and bottom of the ribbon all the way around the bag.

8. Secure the end of the rope to a safety pin and pull it through the casing.

9. Lay the bag flat, and pin each rope to the bottom of the bag at the seam.  Stitch the ends of the rope in place.

And that’s all there is to it!
