Drawstring Backpack

2 Fat Quarters of fabric and 4 yds of Parachute Cord will get us this fun drawstring backpack. Just think of all the fabric we could use :)
Here is the video for the quilt in the background

Thank you for this video! I’m teaching my granddaughter how to sew this summer and this will be a great project for her.

[@deek6115]

Your projects always make me smile! Thanks for sharing ANOTHER cute & practical sewing project!🌻

[@torreycat7716]

Oh my goodness… when you turned out the bag and said this is now the loop, I couldn’t help but smile 😃. Lol

[@doreensherk287]

That is great timing with the children returning to school in September. Nice clear video.

[@klynndubois6200]

Thank you! ❤️ I always enjoy your bag tutorials! I'm making more wet bags for my grandchildren/children. We live near beaches 🌴🏖️, too! I only have hardware for 1 more. Maybe I'll line a few of these bags with the oil cloth! ?

[@connietowler3725]

Great tutorial. Very easy to follow. Thank You 🙂

[@idareandevers9211]

I like this drawstring backpack. Thanks

[@user-mv9tt4st9k]

This is a wonderful technique. I made a lined drawstring bag that has lasted about three years (the top casing is fraying). I am going to take it apart, cut it down, and use your technique to remake two bags. Win!

[@Katieemmaw]

Woo, on the to do list!

[@erinplunkett4123]

You've explained it in such a great way that I think I can make it. Thank you!

[@chimknee]

thanks for this. I will use a wider strap (adjusting size of casing) as the narrow cord will bother my shoulders.

[@cathygarland696]

So cute! Thank you for such well explained instructions! 🤩

[@jarnurse100]

Thank you for posting this! I love it.

[@corinaryder5100]

Great project!! Definitely going to try this one!! 😊 Thank you!!

[@Turtletails90]

Thanks! Clear instructions appreciate that. 😍

[@dkarnold4162]

Clever!

[@berniceoconnor5381]

Love this, Laura. I will have a go. Thank you.

[@kjscreations3132]

Wonderful tutorial! Thanks for sharing! You made this project look easy to do!

[@ruthberanek13]

Cool idea to make as gift.

[@marykayshatzer3044]

I like the way you did the top. I will have to try it on my next bag. I made draw string bags for my grandkid to use on our vacation. I used yardage and folded it so I didn’t have to sew the bottom and did French seams on the sides. I also used grommets on the bottom to put the strings through.

[@kipuka22]

I used your idea of 1/2 yard instead of 2 fat quarters and it works perfectly and faster too. My local fabric store sells rolls of 1/2 yard materials so I have lots to choose from.😁

[@marykayshatzer3044]

That’s great! I’m glad it worked for you. 😊

[@ccatt6103]

Fabulous!!!

[@elayjayudny9741]

Thank you for this easy tutorial - you are a great teacher because you speak slowly and explain everything clearly and simply. I’m going to make them for my grand kids. Best wishes from a Granny in Scotland.

[@how-to-be-a-minimalist]

So fun and easy to follow! Thanks!

[@25atomika]

So nice and simple bagpack. Thank you very much ❤️.

[@Sandrab769]

Awesome! I especially like the top, as I hate threading string through a little hole. I like to make my own strap for a few reasons: it’s more economical and like to sew the two ends together leaving a finished strap. I've been making lined bags, but I have some canvas fabric and thought it would be best not to use lining since the fabric is so heavyweight. Thank you very much for this tutorial.

[@worldgonemad1977]

Just needed a bag today and I just KNEW that Laura would have a tutorial for it ❤

[@paulinecollins788]

Wonderful Laura ... will be making one of these or more..

[@roxannevangelder]

Thankyou I need to make one for my grandaughter for school

[@jarnurse100]

I bought fabric for this today. One of my granddaughters picked a Halloween print so she can use it for Trick or Treating. Thanks for posting this!

[@maryrichardson5841]

What a terrific project. I love French seams

[@thewaldens90]

Excellent instructions! Thank you for the tips like deciding where the top will be for directional fabric. Appreciate all the closeups. Can't wait to make this for a friend.

[@gnanaranig8444]

I started my tailoring by stitching this simple project. I followed the steps and finished the bag. Only string is pending.. I'm happy. Thank you so much❤

[@gehanghobrial2449]

I just made my pre-k class this bag for Halloween 👻 and filled it with treats. The kids liked it and my coworker didn’t believe that I made them. I told her how amazing you are when you explain everything in details. I’m so happy with my project.

[@rosemarymcguire7648]

Great video! Thank you.

[@tambravandal6386]

Great video!

[@dcoft4899]

Thank you! I hope I can finally get a couple of drawstring backpacks done for my adult sons using their old graduation gowns.

[@p.kathleenshigemi5658]

Thank you. My question was how much cording is required and how do I string them. You demonstration answered both. Your pace of instruction was helpful - not too fast and not too slow. Kathleen

[@ctkenyon56]

Great tutorial! Thank you! I tried a couple of other tutorials; this one is, hands down, the best! Thank you!

[@MoovinOnEstateSales]

Thank you for this! I made a really lovely drawstring backpack from Apple Green Cottage, but my non-mechanical brain just couldn't get the cord threading steps, so glad I found your video - excellent instructions!

[@patcottlr5250]

Thank you. Just found you today. You are a wonderful teacher ❤️

[@noranoaimi1716]

Amazing teacher ❤️....Thank you for showing us the technique to do this bag. I find many tutorials are very specific to their own project, and its sometimes hard to recreate their projects in different sizes. Your tutorial is very clear and gave me a good understanding of how to create such bags. THANKS a lot.

[@phoward6825]

the best instructions I have seen

[@ktfashionandaccessories9419]

You made that so easy to follow. Thank you 😊

[@blondelightning6200]

Love all your videos!! Somehow I missed this one. a couple of weeks ago and so glad I seen it now!! By far this is the best tutorial on KZbin! Love the French seams and the top!!! Thank you from Ontario, Canada! =o)

[@susanfreeland33]

Loved the video!!! Your ring is stunning!!!

[@basilzamarripa-gray6925]

great diy and easy to follow :D Made a backpack in less than 2 hours!

[@AliAli-vn3vi]

Sowing clearly easy way thank you for your nice tutorial ❤

[@TracyFre]

Awesome. Ive been wanting to make one of these.

[@vanessaoppong7644]

Marvelous ❤️❤️

[@vanessaoppong7644]

Very simple 😊

[@daniellady8983]

Thanks for this and all your post

[@lynnparsons2235]

EXCELLENT video. Thank you. I just made one for my granddaughter. :-)

[@LoveOfArt87]

♥️🌿🌹اشكرك جدا علي تعاليمك الجيده والمنثقه في الخياطه الله يحفظك ويفرح قلبك♥️🌿🌹

[@jojoremlap5031]

thank you for this great tutorial. I've never used parachute cord, what width/type would you recommend for this project? TIA!

[@lisadyer5151]

Thank you for this simple, well-explained tutorial! Can it be lined?

[@reginahonore9717]

I enjoy your videos. You are a very good teacher. What size would you cut the fat quarters to for a child? Thanks for sharing your talents.

[@kipuka22]

Love this tutorial, thank you so much! What are those silver tips you put at the bottom of the ropes?🐱

[@gwenmadeline54]

Thank you so much. I just made 6 if these for my grands.

[@yokeiseasy]

@gwenmadeline54 did you use the same measurements as in the video for your grands?

[@yokeiseasy]

And are your grands preschool or elementary?

[@gwenmadeline54]

@@yokeiseasy they were all preschoolers then. I did tie a knot to shorten the strings which they can let out as they get bigger. Today they are 6, 5 and 4. The bags work great but it take them some time to sort out how to use them. At first we had to help them put them on.

[@yokeiseasy]

@@gwenmadeline54 thank you!

[@jennifermeyer1412]

I have made this using your awesome video. Thank you! ❤ I would love to make a quilted version but don’t know how to not make the seams so bulky? Can you do a video and make a quilted version with a liner? I LOVE your work and your videos.

[@jennifermeyer1412]

I’m thinking I can do the quilting about 1 in smaller so the batting is not right to the edge to decrease bulk in the seams. What are your thoughts? ❤❤

[@meganpodmore9766]

Can I line it? Thank you

[@CoalNovah1285]

Laura where did you get the tools 🧰 ⚒️ fabric ???

[@SewVeryEasy]

It is from Northcott fabrics but it is a few years old

[@carlam.9529]

Where can I purchase that point turner with the hole in the end ? It would also be great for inserting ribbon !!
