Which Goodies To Stuff?
First you have to select the goodies. Their size and shape will dictate the completed size of your sewn goodie bag.
Step 1
Instructions:
1. Decide the size and pattern of the paper pouch. Trace or freehand a design large enough to encase candy or a small gift.
Set the stitch length on the machine halfway between basic stitch and a basting stitch. You want the stitch to lay smooth on the paper.
Step 2
2. Straight stitch around the entire outline, leaving an opening large enough to easily stuff the pouch.
Step 3
3. Put the candy or small gift into the opening of the paper goodie pouch. Try not to overstuff; you will need room for the sewing machine needle to move freely.
Step 4
4. Sew the opening closed after the pouch is stuffed.
Then using utility or crafting scissors, cut outside the sewn line about 1/4 inch all the way around.
