String Soap Saver Bag

This soap saver bag is made from standard kitchen cotton string. It is fast and easy to make and you could use Speed Cro Sheen instead of string to make it. I had some left over kitchen string from when I measured out my garden, so I decided to use it up for this pattern.

Random Quick Tip!

Organizing Fabric
I am organizing my fabric by taking photos of each Fat Quarter and bigger and putting them into folders on my computer by color. Then I make sure I can see the photo's information and edit the Comments, Author and Subject information to reflect where I got the fabric from, how much I have and where it is located in my sewing room. Then I can just import the image of the fabric I want to use in a quilt, into EQ8, for when I am designing a quilt. It is a lot of work but well worth it.have
