Twenty-two kit bags
for Days for Girls International

I used some fabric odds and ends and yardage to make 22 kit bags for this project. Finding reasonably priced cord for the drawstrings was a challenge, but I used clothesline cord. Because the cord frayed when cut, I singed the ends to melt the polyester. Two packages of clothesline was just enough for 22 kit bags, pattern link below.
