I needed a new wallet. I sat down and thought about how I used my previous wallet, and what items I would want in a new design to suit my needs.

Drawstring bags are a very simple and extremely versatile project. I love that they can be constructed in less than an hour and have a whole myriad of uses. Here are a few ways that I have found them to be especially useful:
