I’ve been sewing for probably 60 years you are a very good teacher

[@Sandrab769]

I have watched many tutorials for drawstring backpacks. I have taken a little bit here and a little bit there. I like to add a 3”x 14” strip at the top instead of making the little holes for the string. I’m also making my own straps as I'm trying to be economical. Macrame cord might work well, as it wouldn’t fray as much. Just a thought, as I haven’t tried it yet. I want to say thank you for the tutorial.

Love this tutorial! My granddaughter learned to sew last summer, and I think this is a great project for her and I to make. Thanks, Lorrie!

[@dianecole5582]

New at sewing, this was so easy to make. Thank you. I have made 8 in the last 2 months. Everyone loves them.

[@jacquelinesmith6716]

Great instructions! I'm going to make these for my operation Christmas Child boxes. thank you so much.

[@Sandrab769]

I am recently retired, and I too am making drawstring backpacks but I’m making my own straps.

Great tutorial! Thank you! My 10 yr old granddaughter wanted to make a library book bag. We watched your video together today & had it all cut out & done in a matter of a few hours. :) (including adding strips of pom-poms as embellishment & her machine embroidered initials.)

Like the video! I thread the rope thru the holes first before sewing the seam close. It was much easier and faster too!

Lorrie girl you have did it again. You are my most favorite KZbin person because you give easy instructions. I look forward to see what you are making next. I am going to make my mom and my husband's mom Mother's Day gifts from some of your projects. I leave KZbin sometimes and go over to Facebook and see whats happening on your Facebook page. Because of you zippers don't bother me any more. lol. Question - what size rope did you use 1/2, 1/4, 3/4 ??? ....Thanks for your help...Sheron

[@leisaflaherty1807]

Maravilhosaaaa amei obrigada por ensinar fazer esta fofura👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🌵🇧🇷

[@buzzoffthischannelisdeleted]

I dont have a iron, do I need one? Jw? Is a iron prefrence?

[@LorrieNunemaker]

Amie Sparda you can make this without an iron but I would recommend if you want to do any kind of sewing you invest in an iron. You can get one for $10

[@buzzoffthischannelisdeleted]

@@LorrieNunemaker thank you. Im planning on getting one eventually just starting out.

[@DallasDLB]
