[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 583644, member: 1233"] Oh, to make a simple, easy fabric pouch to use instead of plastic eggs, you can use fabric glue. You can make a BUNCH by cutting a long strip of fabric so that the width of the fabric is twice the length that you want the finished pouch to be, plus enough for the seam allowance (roughly half an inch or the width of your thumb). Fold over about 3/8 inch on each long side and iron the fold. Then sew each of these edges. This will be the top of your little bag. Fold the strip in half length wise, right sides together. Iron so that you have a long, skinny strip. Starting at one end, sew across the edge about 3/8 from the edge. Move down the strip to the width you want the pouch to be. Sew across there. Move down about 3/4 inch and sew across again. Continue this so that you end up iwth a strip of fabric with 2 seams 3/4 inch apart and a bigger space between the next set of 2 seams. After you have sewn this, cut between the 2 seams that are together. This leaves you with quite a few little pouches. You can tie them shut, run some yarn through the seam on the top for a drawstring, sew on a button and a bit of yarn to go over it, use velcro or a snap, etc... If you are so inclined, you could also sew the bag shut at the top to make opening it a real challenge! [/QUOTE]
