Make a SIMPLE DRAWSTRING BAG with 1 FQ--just a little bit of fabric + no waste!

I love Drawstring bags! Use them for groceries, gifts, toys, items in a suitcase. They're the best! Make your bag any size....but this "Fat Quarter Friendly" project uses up an entire FQ (Fat Quarter) of fabric!--every little bit of it! No waste!

FABRIC REQUIREMENTS
(1) Fat Quarter of fabric--that's it!

00:55 WHAT IS A FAT QUARTER?
A "Fat Quarter", or "FQ", is a technical term used in the sewing world for a cut of fabric that is 18"x22" (50x55cm). This is the same AREA as a traditional "Quarter yard" which is 9"x44", just cut a little differently. Shops will sell fabric this way, often in an FQ bundle, for making quilts or other projects. This chunkier cut of fabric is helpful when you only need a small amount of a fabric, but you need something wider than 9 inches.
Perfect for a cute little bag!

1:57 CUTTING INSTRUCTIONS
• Cut the selvage from your FQ
• Turn the fabric lengthwise, and cut (4) strips 1.5" x 22" (5x55cm)
• You're left with a piece that is 12"x22" (30x55cm) --this is the body of the bag.
