A bag for storing and dispensing flexible bags. The bag has an upper opening closed by a drawstring and a lower opening closed by an elastic gather. The drawstring is enclosed within a hem. The drawstring is partially exposed so that it may be draped over a hook or the like, thereby suspending the bag from an environmental surface. The gather comprises an elastic band stitched to the bag either by passing stitches through the elastic band or such that the stitches surround and entrap the band without penetrating it. The novel bag is fabricated by placing the drawstring and the gather at opposite, parallel ends of a spread out panel of flexible fabric. The ends are folded over to enclose the drawstring, and are adhered, welded, or otherwise secured in this fashion. The remaining two opposed edges are then joined, thereby reconfiguring the rectangular panel as a cylinder, with one open end encircled by the drawstring and the other open end closed by the gather. The drawstring, if assembled to the novel bag in linear form, is then joined at its ends to form a closed loop.

[ I claim:] [1.] A bag for storing and dispensing flexible bags, comprising:a flexible central body having a circumferential wall, an upper opening, and a lower opening;a flexible tie encircling said circumferential wall at said upper opening, said flexible tie disposed to constrict said circumferential wall at said upper opening when pulled, said circumferential wall further comprising a hem formed at said upper opening, said hem disposed to enclose and retain said flexible tie, wherein said flexible tie forms a closed loop, and said bag is configured to expose said flexible tie along a portion of the length of said flexible tie, whereby said flexible tie may engage a projecting environmental object for purposes of suspending said bag;an elastic band encircling said circumferential wall at said lower opening, said elastic band disposed proximate said lower opening and disposed to constrict said circumferential wall at said lower opening; andstitches directly securing said elastic band to said circumferential wall, whereinsaid stitches are oriented longitudinally in the direction of stretch of said elastic band and pass through said elastic band and pin said elastic band to said circumferential wall, andsaid circumferential wall has a narrow waist formed therein where said elastic band contacts said circumferential wall, and said circumferential wall has a skirt depending from said narrow waist, wherein said skirt is flared and opens away from said narrow waist.
