EDIT: I think I'm going to have to go back to the drawing board, as they say. I can't come up with something quick and simple to make non-stretchy bags or pouches on the machines. I may need to revert to the sewing machine. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- I need some help with an idea. I want to make some drawstring pouches on the machines, but I don’t want them super stretchy. I have some products I want to put in them, and donate to either a women’s DV shelter, or donate to the local soup kitchen (who also run the Code Blue shelter) or maybe to the local homeless and exploited youth organization. The items are pictured. I have made a few fabric mini baskets like the one shown, but I want a variety of bags/baskets. I have about 25 more sets of these products. I had originally intended to make pouches/bags/baskets for the sets, and sell them. But I’ve discovered that I cannot sell them without a resale permit/license, and I only have a craft/maker vendor license. Loophole is to sell the bag/baskets/pouch and give the items as “free with purchase”. Anyway, enough rambling… ideas for not-so-stretchy bags or something else?
