What You’ll Need:

When it comes to the supplies needed for this tutorial, they are pretty easy to find. We have a local dollar store that always has those fun character washcloths so I grab some of these every time I go in. You can really make these as fancy or simple as you want, the choice is yours! I have seen some really pretty washcloths in stores lately. You can make these to fit your home decor or pick something to match your personality! I have a grey and blue color theme through my house right now so I went with these colors. Other than your material, you’ll need some thread, some clips, and a ribbon so you can hang your soap saver bags. I recommend getting a rotary cutter and mat if you plan on sewing more than one of two projects as it makes cutting out curves and shapes much easier than with scissors.

How To Make Soap Saver Bags

The first step in this how to make a soap saver bag is to lay out the soap onto the washcloth. This is to get an idea of how tall and how wide your bag will be. As you can see, you can make two out of one washcloth. In this tutorial we will just make one, so save your scraps!

Now you are going to fold up the bottom leaving some top left to fold over. Cut the right side of the washcloth, leaving some room on each side of the soap along with a little room on the bottom. You want it to fit snug but not too snug so that you can’t get your soap in the pocket or that you potentially mess up your seams and tear them by jamming it in.

Next on this soap saver bag tutorial, you will cut a one-inch piece of twill ribbon and fold it over to make a loop. This is so you can hang it up in your shower. Make sure to place the loop facing in at the top left. Fold over the top of the washcloth then fold up the bottom to top. You can pin or clip along both the right and left sides to hold them in place.

It’s time to sew! Sew along the right and left sides making sure to backstitch so the seams will not come undone. When sewing I like to use a 1/4″ seam allowance.

In our final step of this soap saver bag sewing tutorial, you will flip the bag right side in and the loop of twill will now be on the outside. For this particular project, we did not topstitch once flipped right side in. Simply place the soap inside the pocket and flip the top over. And that’s it! Now you know how to make some soap saver bags! These little bags are a must-have if you or a family member prefers to use bar soap in the shower. We hope you have enjoyed this super quick and easy beginner sewing project. We have made some really great things together, but this just might be my favorite. It is the perfect addition to any shower and for every family member. You can really make this in such a short amount of time that I bet you could crank these out in any afternoon. I love how versatile these can be, you can even use these in your kitchen too! I can’t wait to see your finished products!
