I have almost enough tote bags for this year, but with a goal of at least 100 shoe boxes next year I will need 200 drawstrings for the tote bags I plan to make. Making them from unloved fabric will be
perfect!
I can also use it as a casing in these other styles of shoe box drawstring bags
With making hundreds of pillow case dresses each year I go thru a powerful lot of bias tape. Making some from my unwanted fabrics will be perfect.
I also thought I could use some to make these matching-games for some of my boxes.
I like crafting for my shoeboxes, if you do and are looking for new ideas check out our Crafting For Operation Christmas Child Shoeboxes Tutorial Index.

What a wonderful way of purging and giving. I love the dress, it's so cute.
Thanks, I have so much fun making hundreds of these each year. Each one is made just a little different and little unique just like the little girls who will wear them.
I love resourceful sewing. You are an excellent Purge-er =)
Thanks, Rachel, I am having fun purging along with you and your readers -- I hate to see it end. Maybe you will make it an annual event :-) .
