Step Five:
Now sew the widest part of the pant leg, making the stitches about half an inch from the cut end. Do this twice (for strength) as this will become the bottom of your bag.

Step Six:
Turn the sewn product right side out.

Step Seven:
With the scissors, make a small cut on the inside of the folded material so that you can add a draw string.

Step Eight:
Take your safety pin and fasten it to your lace or draw string.
