Step 1
Cut a 12- to 16-inch section from a pant leg. Leave the side seams intact.
-
Step 2
Fold a 1/2-inch strip to the inside of the sack, around the top. Sew the strip down using a 1/4-inch seam allowance, to form a casing.
-
Step 3
Leave a small opening the casing. Thread a 3-foot long cord through the casing and tie the 2 ends together.
-
Step 4
Cut another piece of fabric from the pants that is 1/2-inch bigger than the pant leg's circumference. Turn the pant leg inside out.
-
Step 5
Pin the piece of material to the bottom of the bag. Sew the bottom to the pant leg. Flip the bag right side out.
-
Step 6
Decorate the bag with patches, iron-ons and buttons. Let your child customize the bag. Do not sew through both layers of material when attaching buttons. Attach buttons, sequins and rhinestones with fabric glue.
