I took a little time this week to make Farkle bags. Here is a link on instructions on how to play Farkle. I think the bags turned out cute and would work well as a gift bag. I took pictures as I made them, so I could give you all instructions.
I cut a 7" x14 1/2" piece of the focus fabric and a 7" X 18" piece of the accent fabric.
I sewed the the 7" edges of the focus fabric to the accent fabric. I pressed the seam toward the focus fabric. I matched up and pinned the seams and pressed to then ends. I stitched the ends leaving a two inch opening near the end of the accent fabric to turn the bag inside out. I also left a half inch opening on both sides at the seam between the two fabrics going into the accent fabric for the drawstring. I pressed the side seams open.
I turned the bag right side out and ironed it. I stitched to two inch opening closed.
I tucked the accent fabric inside of the focus fabric, matching the corners together. I pressed the top. I top stitched along the seam and half inch down at the bottom of the opening for the drawstring. I threaded the drawstring through the channel created by the top stitching, creating two complete loops that started at opposite sides of the bag.
You now have completed bags. Enjoy!

Thanks for posting this. I had hoped we could've made some while you were here but I realize that time was limited. I'll have to make some now that you've taught me how here. Great tutorial! Okay, if I call you for questions?
