[@Whitney_Sews]

Yay! So glad you love it! I enjoyed figuring out how to make it :)

[@jenniferbrown2209]

Hi Whitney. Beginner here. Just wanted to say thank you for your videos. They are easy to follow and I like there are some easy and short ones to get me started. ....cheers.

[@kathyrowles6924]

I love your tutorials and videos. You are so concise and don't waste the time showing the sewing part. Just excellent. thanks so much. I made lots of Christmas bags this year and instead of using wrapping paper I used the bags and my grandchildren loved them. LOVE YOUR PATTERNS!!! Kathy

[@davidhutchinson5572]

Hey Whitney! I’ve just made a heavy duty version of this bag to keep my husband’s new pickleball paddle safely tucked inside. I used scraps of fabric (an old fleece, some curtain interlining & spare curtaining fabric), I had matching thread & contrasting cotton twill ‘ribbon’ in my stash. He’s thrilled with it & I’m feeling immensely proud! Thank you so much. Caroline

[@sandrajayne]

Your videos are the best! Easy to follow, concise and to the point. Thank you!!!!!!

[@jwlee9117]

Hi, Your videos are easy to follow. Clear explanation too. I learned a lot from them. Thanks. I am from Singapore.

[@emilyking3291]

Thank goodness for this video because my sister asked me to make her a big bunch of bags like this of all sizes for her. She plans on using them to put gifts in instead of using wrapping paper!

[@paulaneary7877]

I found this tutorial last year and used it to make gift bags. Using it again this year! Thanks Whitney!

[@pamtilley9668]

Love your video's. I grew up playing with the sewing machine on summer breaks and made tons of the draw-string and non-draw-string tote bags, dresses, tops, and jean bag purses from bottoms of old pant legs and gave them to friends. We couldn't afford new material so I used old clothes, blankets, etc (except for dresses which had new material). Learned a lot in 4-H about everything around the home (such as sewing, cooking, proper way to make a bed). Its so sad that so many adults and kids know nothing about crafting. My whole family sends me things to repair when needed which does make me feel appreciated. :o)

[@ShastaLin]

I keep coming back to your videos time and time again!! You're fantastic!!

[@katestannard3311]

Thank you soooooo much Whitney! First time trying a bag (only had my machine a month) and completely self taught by lovely people like you on you tube! Thanks again xxx

[@lindabrown7374]

I'm thinking of making one of these for my grandson to put some of his toys in when he goes visiting. As always, your video is very easy to understand. Thanks!

[@rebclout]

I’ve commented b4 on this video but I love this bag so much that it deserves another mention! I’ve made this bag for so many different occasions and items not just Christmas and every time I make it, I can’t believe I made it and how professional it looks! Thank you again!

[@Whitney_Sews]

That's so awesome!

[@PixelsbyEllieD]

Perfect. Exactly what I was looking for. I must make little bags to hold handmade gaming dice with designer cards for a Arts & Design Company. Thank you

[@rebclout]

I have made a few of your drawstring bags now and I love each one of them!! Thank you so much for your easy to follow instructions!! You make me feel like I’m a sewing expert!! 😉

[@deannacumpston9318]

These bags are such a great idea! And so simple to make. I am going to make some for my son to hold his various computer doodads that he currently has spread all over his desk. And I can use some of my scrap fabric to make them too.

[@Whitney_Sews]

Great idea! I've been making tons of bags lately to use up scraps and better organize my kids' things.

[@karenholmes7970]

Hello from Columbia, SC. Love your bags going to make one for my granddaughter. I would like to see you make one for a five year old.

[@Whitney_Sews]

I make bags for my kids the exact same way.

[@mcloud1070]

Thanks Witney. I made several of these bags in different colors and sizes. They are so useful to keep chargers, batteries, keys etc. I love them. The constrasting casing is definitely a must !😍

[@wandasmart8941]

Thank you so much for this video. I really like the separate casing and lining so there are no raw edges. I also want to combine this idea with your boxed bottom bag. I plan to put my knitting project in it when it's done.

[@patriciarichardson4719]

i will be making one of these cute little bags,thanks for the tutorial

[@Gertiebug]

Thanks so much Whitney for this very cute drawstring bag. I love watching your videos and always learn something new despite having been a seamstress for many, many years. I truly appreciate your efforts to make sewing easy and doable for everyone.

[@Marialla.]

This is great! Never saw this type of separate casing before. It looks very professional and neat, especially with the lining. I've loved drawstring bags for a while now, but you have just upped my game by tenfold!

[@Whitney_Sews]

Thank you! Glad you liked the tutorial :)

[@lelaruzmamohdshaari2586]

Good and clear instructions 🙂🙂🙂

[@marianneschlenther8115]

I love this tutorial! Thank you ever so much for sharing this!

[@Whitney_Sews]

You're welcome!

[@RainorShine1]

Wow you explained everything great. Even on your site you explain how to resize the bag great as well. Thank you so so much. Need to master top stitching think its 1/8 inch.

[@theresawatson3969]

I like the way you make your bags, is there a way to make them with the lining secured so it doesn’t slip out

[@lesleygilbert1945]

Another clear and easy to understand tutorial - Thanks! Love the neckline on your top - really suits you :)

[@Whitney_Sews]

Thank you! That shirt is on I made recently using a 1960s pattern. Here's the video if you want to watch it :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/qISuqmN_hLOpnq8

[@smallfootprint2961]

This is so cute. I'm saving it to make some Christmas bags. Thanks for showing us how you do it.

[@WestVanMom]

Another fabulous tutorial....will be making up several of these bags to hold gifts under the tree this year...thank you.

[@cynthiamac650]

I’m inspired now and will make a few for Christmas gift bags 🎄Thank you so much!!

[@Annbug18]

I love your videos thank you I am Learning so much off your videos I can’t wait to make these bags

[@tammy5590]

Love that Merry Christmas ribbon. Super cute drawstring bag.

[@Whitney_Sews]

Thank you!

[@xofeliciapaige]

Yay! Thanks so much for this tutorial AND for the hint that two soaps fit nicely! I grabbed 6 soaps from BBW sale this last week to divide among my 3 kid’s teachers along with one of these bags for Christmas! Thanks again :)

[@Whitney_Sews]

Perfect! I'm sure they will love the gifts :)

[@DewyBug]

Yay! So glad I found this... it's Christmas eve and I can't find our stockings! Needless to say I'm up sewing Christmas drawstring bags! Thanks! 😂♥️👍

[@arleneporter2317]

I just want to let you know how much I enjoy your youtube postings. I dont know how I ever found you but love all your videos. I made my granddaughter who is 4 a head scarf. Since I had a lot of fleece I made her a little drawstring bag to match. So cute. Do you have any ideas for easy and practical pieces made with scraps of leather? Thanks Whitney.

[@WildRemedies1]

Thank you! I am always looking for different gift wrap options. This will work great.

[@Lena-wp8lt]

This is smart and easier than I expected thanks girl!

[@DJeannie]

I love this! Your instructions are so easy to follow - thank you for your excellent tutorials. I can hardly wait to get started :)

[@allergiesrusdb]

Love this Whitney! I love the contrasting top for these! Thanks!

[@Whitney_Sews]

Thank you!

[@karenrodriguez3754]

Love your bags! Could you possibly make a tutorial for stockings with zippers that would be good to give to students on a school bus for christmas?

[@nanamiller5443]

Love your bags!!!

[@minkyminkyminky]

What a great tutorial!

[@pamketron]

Awesome and easy! Love the ribbon. Endless possibilities for these bags. Would like to see an easy way to make a lined zipper bag that has small divided mesh pockets inside to hold essential oils or nail polish bottles. Just a small bag that has 3 to 5 slots on each side. There are lots out there but none that give very good details. Hope this makes sense!! Would love to see how you would make one of these. I just love how you create bags and things. Hugs! 🤗🤗🤗

[@dag1937]

So cute great for my girls Christmas goodies

[@CookingwithCatLover0330]

Awesome! I haven't had a chance to sew in months. :( I am hoping to start again soon. This is a great project. Thank you!

[@Whitney_Sews]

Hope you're able to do some sewing soon! Even if it's just a quick little project.

[@tan.hughes]

Hi I am a beginner and love watching your videos. Have you made a Christmas sack like this it so what measures would you us.

[@Whitney_Sews]

I have made this bag in lots of different sizes to fit many different gifts.

[@veronicabush9844]

Thankyou for this lovely gift idea. ❤️❤️

[@abbeyp8834]

What drawstrings are best for a bag that will be washed alot? Love your video's!🧡

[@Whitney_Sews]

The 30 minute bag, contrast casing bag, and the Minnie Mouse with boxed bottom bag would all hold up well to washing.

[@jw8470]

I have enjoyed your tutorial. I would like to see a tutorial on wedge bags or totes bag.

[@Whitney_Sews]

Thank you! I already have several tote bag tutorials that you can watch here - kzbin.info/aero/PL6bNa81aVS4Q0INK7P7r3Qy5skWwNSDmn :)

[@merveata4916]

[@craciopio]

I always love your tutorials! I didn’t hear ‘sizes however for the cut material... please do that :-) Have an Amazing Day!

[@Whitney_Sews]

As mentioned in the video, the measurements I used as well as info for making custom sizes is on my website. First link in the description box.

[@sumall567]

Thank you very much

[@fabulousmarilyn3.088]

hi..how about a simple quilted tote bag. with a recess zipper. maybe two pockets

[@lindadenton7431]

how about boxed bottoms I really like in bags

[@Whitney_Sews]

Just box the outer and lining before sewing the two together :)

[@Sewprano]

Great project!

[@sintiasmith]

Love it!! Where did you buy that plaid fabric ?? Love it

[@Whitney_Sews]

Thanks! A viewer sent it to me a few months ago. There is no info on it, possibly vintage.

[@lindabridges445]

That is perfect ! Thank you.

[@christiwright4229]

Great tutorial!

[@feliciafriesen]

Brilliant, as always!

[@eleanorcostello644]

your the BEST!!!!

[@Marialla.]

It really would be nice to see the same tutorial with a small addition of how/when to add boxed corners at the bottom. I know it's simple, but it's confusing my brain to figure out just exactly which step it goes between and how to do it. Or a round or oval bottom, if that were possible.

[@Whitney_Sews]

You would sew the sides and bottom of the outer and lining (still leaving the opening for turning), box the corners, sew the casing to the top, insert the outer in the lining and sew around the entire top :) Hope that helps!

[@anon4518]

Nice

[@jeangopie6789]

Well done god bless

[@faithers84]

SO CUTE!!!

[@Whitney_Sews]

I have tons of tote bag tutorials because I love totes too :)
