Your teaching is fantastic, keep them coming

❤ love this adorable bag. FTR... I used bobby pins (works)to insert the string before I started using safety pins or bodkin.

[@craftnm7225]

I love the way you pieced it to make it look more interesting! Nice touch!

[@fludrbywest3886]

Aww yes it is Supper cute, I’ve always loved drawstring pouches❣️❣️😍I had a leather little pouch when I was a little girl before school age -I can remember saving pennies in, and I loved the feel of holding that soft leather pouch 💖💝❣️🙏🏻 thank you for sharing , stirs up warm memmoried😇🤗

[@margiee53]

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH !! I was having such a time understanding how to make the strings, draw the bag closed🤦🏻‍♀️ I appreciate the great explanation ❤️

[@vickiglenn9364]

I make bags like these for the Beads of Courage program. Certain children's hospitals participate and children with long term illnesses earn beads for procedures/hospital stays/surgery/etc. They give the kids a handmade bag to hold the beads they earned. Search for their website for details if you are interested in making and donating bags. They are just simple lined drawstring bags (specific size on their site) and you also sew on a label. I know a couple kids who have participated in the Beads of Courage program and they cherish their beads. It helps them tell their story.

OMGoodness, thank you for spreading the word about this organization! I had not heard of it, but after reading your comment, I did a quick search for Beads of Courage and have fallen madly in love with the idea of sewing for them! I have been sewing and donating face covers, but the need for masks is [hopefully] starting to slow down, and I've been wondering what other "do good" project I can tackle this spring and summer. This is it! I have a good stash of colorful prints (super heroes, cartoon characters, emergency vehicles, sports, bright ditzy patterns, baby animals) that children would find attractive. I'm excited about registering to sew and donating these bags. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@vickiglenn9364]

@@irairod5160 So excited that you looked into it. It's so nice when we can use our skills for something so meaningful.

[@jillhendricks2584]

Lorrie, I love your ideas. You do an awesome job explaining the process too. Thank you so much for sharing. I’ve got to make this.

[@RainorShine1]

Love your sewing projects hope there is more to come

[@MzCR73]

I love your tutorials! Thank you!

[@JuneParchment]

Brilliant. Thank you 🎉

[@paintingchick]

Love this! Thanks Lorrie.

[@tweetybird53046]

Thank you so much for this excellent video, I like the idea of draw string bag for small gifts I make for my friends but didn't like the unfinished look to it without the liner. this is great I have one hint for those who do not want to draw on the outside of the bag the line to sew just put tape on your machine on the 1 inch then the 2 inch measurement then follow the tape to edge of bag sew easy. I made my liner a solid piece, can even add pockets inside as option. Great video Lorrie Thanks again.

[@rosasaldivar26]

Thank you! You make it look so easy! I’m gonna give this a try.

[@kathfox405]

Perfect, easy instructions to follow. Thank you! Good job!

[@irenegonzales2156]

[@ThePendlewitch]

Thank you for your very clear instructions. Much appreciated. 😊

[@kellihajski3495]

I just made this bag watching your instruction. Came out so cute! Thank you for the specific instruction! You did a great job explaining.

[@jennifertipton3900]

I’ve made several of these, they are so cute! I’m a beginner…could I use this same method for a waterproof swimsuit bag?

[@christinahoyt5963]

Love it!

[@RainorShine1]

Love your sewing videos hope you do more. Thanks for sharing. Ps your a great teacher

[@charlottebarnes6761]

What size bag for a medium size bag Thank You

[@trudythomas5036]

Wow so quick, thanks for sharing. Where do you get your cord from. And the thickness.

[@cajunnanan]

Love the contrasting fabrics...gonna make one as a Christmas gift to exchange at a luncheon. It will be perfect...having a sewing day with friends on Tuesday and was wondering what I could make. You saved the day! 🧵

[@gaye4933]

Lovely bag. I got confused by the same materials for outer and lining. It would be clearer if a totally different fabric was used for the lining.

[@juanahudsonlatinaloveslace6736]

Beautiful Tutorial! Super easy and detailed instructions! tfs😀🌸

[@linroggal]

Made a tote bag for my niece who turns 8 tomorrow. I am sure she will love it. Thank for sharing your knowledge.

[@triciamcfarland8823]

As always, great tutorial 💗

[@bananashaveice]

I think I can make this pretty bag! Thank you for creating this great tutorial! Take care.

[@jessicaolney4900]

Thank you! Great instructions...easy to follow.

[@Bets74]

Love this so much! Will be making lots! Thanks for the video.

[@katielove9932]

You obviously like pink. I think you could have done a better job on the drawstrings by putting a pink bead on each end.

[@pamellis7501]

Such a cute project! thank you for such great instructions!
