How To Make A Drawstring Bag

[@jerananelms1760]

I’ve been watching bag making videos and yours is truly the easiest. Thank you

[@chicnscratch]

I'm so glad to hear that! You're very welcome!

[@PEPSIKERR]

Time to dig through my fabric and make some of these for 2023. Thanks Angie. I haven’t made one yet. Still putting Christmas away.

[@chicnscratch]

Did you make one? I'd love to see it!

[@marymeister6007]

Could u plz give sizes for three different bags. Yours is the easiest video for making these brackets. I’m going to put cardboard in the bottom covered with matching fabric. Thanks

[@ElaineSmith-fo5ez]

Did you manage to get the final measurements please

[@auntdee9678]

You can figure the size because she did to use 2 fat quarters which are usually 18 x 22

[@Sandrab769]

You don’t need measurements. Make it any size you want. Usually should be a rectangle. Hope that helps.

[@patriciaberne613]

Thanks for a very clear and organized explanation. I had been a little confused about the boxing, but now I have it straight!! Thanks!

[@chicnscratch]

You're very welcome!

[@paperinkspirations]

Love these! Now I want to make them for Christmas gifts and tie jingle bells to the ends of the ribbon. Thanks for sharing!

[@chicnscratch]

I love the idea of adding a jingle bell to the ribbon.

[@AnitaSouthall]

bells wow great idea 💡 👏

[@mystique1224]

What kind of gifts would u put n them

[@kitwoo2w491]

I made this for my granddaughter and she loves it she puts her little rings and crayons in it and off to school she goes. Thanks for such a detailed description of this adorable little bag.

[@chicnscratch]

You are so welcome!

[@pterrys]

I love sewing drawstring bags to give gifts in! This little bag is adorable and uses fabric from my favorite fabric designers!! TFS

[@chicnscratch]

I love all their fabric and was sad to hear that Bonnie retired.

[@irisbisbal6690]

Down my alley love it.......

[@annbesterci1041]

Love this bag. So much nicer than other videos I’ve seen. Those boxed corners really make a difference.

[@chicnscratch]

thank you!

[@shelmoore1552]

Thank you so much Angie! Made your fabric baskets for my family for Christmas stuffed with goodies and they loved them. Your tutorials are so easy to understand it makes trying something new not intimidating. Thanks to you have made so many treats and gifts for coworkers, family, and friends.

[@chicnscratch]

You are so welcome!

[@tourettes181]

This tutorial is, by far, the easiest one i have found. Thank you for posting this video. Sewing machines and I do not get along with each other. So i sew everything by hand. It takes longer, but i find it very therapeutic. I will be making some of your beautiful drawstring bags without getting confused. THANKS 😊

[@chicnscratch]

Thank you and you're welcome! I'd love to see a picture of yours!

[@rebeccathornton-ne6ek]

I can not stop making these. Too much fun. Thank you

[@chicnscratch]

You're very welcome!!

[@teresaowen8050]

Love the long lines of sewing. I'm new to making these and is so much easier. Thanks.

[@marshafreemon9381]

Darling bag! Beautiful material. Great instructional tutorial. Need to dust the cobwebs off my machine, get it serviced and get busy!!! Thank you for sharing,Angie! Hugs and have a blessed day,

[@chicnscratch]

thanks Marsha!!

[@shelmoore1552]

Thanks!

[@chicnscratch]

wow! thank you so much! can you email me your mailing address so that I can send you a thank you?

[@amandamariemuise]

I finally understand how to sew the casing straight without drawing lines on the fabric and whatnot. Thanks!

[@chicnscratch]

Thanks!!

[@carolmonaghan6723]

Made the bag.....easy instructions!!! Sizes for different bags would be great! Thanks so much! Enjoyed making this!

[@alliecreates6038]

[@chicnscratch]

You are so welcome! Thank you for watching!!

[@marciemae5623]

[@lornabrannum6542]

I love your videos! You give very easy to follow instructions and make it looks easy! Thank you for sharing!

[@chicnscratch]

Thanks for watching!

[@AnitaSouthall]

This refines my existing ideas and does it better than my prototype. Best wishes 🇦🇺💜🇺🇲🖐

[@chicnscratch]

thanks!

[@pipsmum100]

I am a novice but love this tutorial and tomorrow I will go to the market and buy a lining fabric for the African wax material I want to use x

[@SEW_B]

I made one of these little drawstring bags to match a dress that I made for my granddaughter. Its such a cute set for her to wear on her first day in kindergarten. Thank you so much for teaching me/us how to make such a cute little bag.

[@chicnscratch]

You're very welcome!!

[@singmysong1167]

So cute! Thank you, ChicnScratch, for sharing! But I was disappointed, after cutting my front piece, that the pattern wasn't lined up correctly to finish top and bottom, but it was positioned side to side. Wish you had addressed that important step, before I had to cut another piece to accommodate the direction of the fabric. Oh well, live and learn. Still loving it, though!

[@kimberlyking9695]

Oooh,I’m glad I read this comment. I have a directional pattern on my fabric, too.

[@connietowler3725]

This has to be the best tutorial ever. I need to make two. You definitely showed me how. Never could figure out the drawstring. You made absolute sense to me. Thank you 🙂 Subscribed and hit the 🛎

[@chicnscratch]

Thanks Connie!!

[@irenechang2734]

Great bag tutorial! Thank you! I would put a tiny bit of fabric glue on the end of the drawstrings to stabilize the end.

[@chicnscratch]

Thanks for the tip!

[@Gidget3922]

I just love your bags and baskets! Thanks for sharing them.

[@chicnscratch]

Thank you so much!

[@GeorginaKing-u7i]

Thank you for going slower while explaining every detail. Going to make these bags.

[@chicnscratch]

You're very welcome! Have fun making them!

[@charolettcrawford4874]

I love your video, most all your vocal instructions. Great job!

[@debrabentcliff9009]

Hello Angie, Your instructions are great you explain very well and clear, so it makes it very easy to follow. Would like to get them in larger sizes if possible. Can you post different sizes please. Fabric chosen is beautiful shows well. Thank you for sharing!

[@ssisters4343]

Great tutorial. This would make a great project for my granddaughter 9 who wants to sew and has been practicing straight sewing. This is the best tutorial on how to put a drawstring bag together. Thank you so much.

[@chicnscratch]

You're very welcome!!

[@KarenJinnett]

You have solved the geometry mystery for making a round bag from a square piece of fabric. Thank you for posting this video, and being so clear in your explanations.

[@chicnscratch]

You're very welcome!

[@mariannekapoulitsa2327]

I love your easy instructions, thank you😊

[@chicnscratch]

Thank you as well!!

[@dianaevans9255]

I will definitely be following you all the time. Thank you thank you Diana. You really ga ve me courage to complete and no fear to do more.💓💓

[@chicnscratch]

You are so welcome!

[@chicnscratch]

I have started posting all my new sewing videos over on my new channel Sew Chic n Scratch. Thanks!

[@mshanklin11]

I've been watching videos on how to make these bags, and I like yours the best by far. This is the way I'll do mine. Thank you! I also subscribed to your channel. I'm looking forward to seeing what else you teach us.

[@chicnscratch]

Thanks for subscribing!

[@amandabroad6139]

Love, love, love these! Now I am off to dig through my fabric stash and make some of these for Christmas gifts x

[@chicnscratch]

Have fun!

[@youngmanmary2918]

I love watching bag tutorials ,always learn a technique .Yours is so fun .Thank you

[@chicnscratch]

Thank you!!

[@1queenification]

Fantastic😊 what’s the name of your wee tune you play when you sew?

[@pamlarcher5529]

Thank you!! I had fun making the bag and your instructions were very easy....can't wait to make more. Hopefully they will go faster because I won't be stopping and starting the video -- LOL

[@chicnscratch]

Thank you!!

[@barbaralouisebenjamin5918]

What a neat way of doing this! It can be applied to any manner of string bag. It is far better than the prototype that I made last week. Thank-you.

[@maryannautorino8247]

Thank you for this tutorial. You are very clear and concise in your instructions. The bags asuper pretty!

[@chicnscratch]

Thank you!!

[@Jas5]

Thank You……. for teaching us how to make this cute little bag ☺️

[@chicnscratch]

You’re welcome 😊

[@silverfox9833]

I'm a beginner when it comes to sewing, but I can't believe that no one has come up with a better way to thread twill tape, etc, like you're doing here instead of using a safety pin. The Sew Tites are cool.

[@chicnscratch]

I've seen a tool called the Clover Clip n Glide.

[@shulamussnug7120]

Love this bag! Teaching kids to sew and using this video and pattern !

[@chicnscratch]

That makes me so happy to hear!!

[@aaminamian2722]

instruction was clear and very helpful. When I make my first bag, I will send you a picture.

[@chicnscratch]

I would love to see it!

[@helenecaron6853]

I enjoyed your tutorial….step by step…easy to understand …thank you…🤩🏆🏄🏼⛄️🎄

[@angelajarrett6103]

Thanks

[@chicnscratch]

Thanks so much!!

[@dawnmariewright6561]

Just made my first bag. LOVE IT!!! So easy and a great way to use up lots of my fabric pieces.

[@chicnscratch]

That's wonderful!

[@tracybrewer9640]

These are the best draw string bags I've seen on here. And I love your fabric choice. So guess what I'm going to be doing later today. Thanks for posting this great tutorial. Looking forward to watching some more . Stay Safe and happy crafting.

[@chicnscratch]

thank you so much Tracy!

[@ginanollert4004]

total sewing newbie here, love the 'baby-iron' ! I sorta get the concept, but got lost on the drawstring handle insertion, you do 1 length of cord/fabric/ribbon etc for each side I think, but was wondering if all the seams were sewed up where do you insert the drawstring to feed thru on each end, that I didn't catch/understand correctly - Thank You - it's a great video !

[@judylitton4198]

Love this.i going to sew this.bags for Christmas. and add Christmas candy's for my grandkids.

[@seemarajderkar3019]

A cute drawstring bag stitched to perfection !! You are a great teacher, Angie !! Thanks for sharing your skills !!

[@chicnscratch]

Thank you so much!!

[@dianaevans9255]

I now have made 10 of these since I watched you this morning. Love love it. Only thing I have to do is buy the twill or ribbon for drawstring. Thank you so much.

[@chicnscratch]

That's wonderful!

[@alisadanner5204]

I just made one. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@sheristamps6722]

omg! these are awesome! I think this is the first sewing video I actually think I can do! You are an amazing teacher. Thank you so much!

[@chicnscratch]

You're very welcome!! I'd love to see it if you make one!

[@stitchann]

Love Love Love this pattern. Thank you for sharing.

[@chicnscratch]

You are so welcome!

[@collywogh1]

[@chicnscratch]

Have fun!!

[@lyncrawford3349]

Angie, these are absolutely fabulous. Your tutorial is amazing. These would be great to put my granddaughter's small toys in. Best wishes from Northern Ireland.

[@chicnscratch]

Thanks so much 😊

[@azwife35]

Thanks for sharing. I love projects like this to give as gifts. And I collect fat quarters - I always buy two coordinating pieces just for little projects like this.

[@chicnscratch]

You're welcome! I think I may collect fat quarters too :)

[@vickidenouden3480]

I made this bag today and it turned out great! The next one will go much quicker. Thanks for the easy-to-follow tutorial! 😊 ❤️🧵

[@chicnscratch]

You are so welcome!

[@lynngalvan]

This is so cute. I’m getting a sewing machine beginning of July. I’m excited. I mainly want it for sewing on paper but your little bags look so simple. I think I can do it.

[@chicnscratch]

You can do it and if you need any help let me know.

[@silverfox9833]

Nice to take a break from stamping. Love your sewing tutorials! Thank you.

[@chicnscratch]

Thanks for watching!

[@tmhferjen]

[@lalascrafts-phyllis280]

What a cute lil bag …..hugs from Maryland

[@chicnscratch]

thanks!

[@j.m.1658]

Love the video! Just one suggestion - sew the seam allowances down where the drawstring openings are so that the safety pin doesn't get stuck when feeding the cording through

[@chicnscratch]

Thank you!!

[@franjohnson7235]

Really enjoyed this tutorial and thank you for the free PDF! I’m looking forward to making loads of them 🙂

[@chicnscratch]

You are so welcome!

[@ElaineSmith-fo5ez]

Hi I note you have made this gorgeous bag and I was wondering if you know what the final measurements are? I am a newbie and want to make a bag to fit a present in so measurements need to be specific. I don't to make it then the present won't fit in.

[@ElaineSmith-fo5ez]

Hi could you please give the final measurements of all the drawstring bags so I can decide which one to make for some presents I have purchased for Christmas which are in boxes. Many thanks

[@chicnscratch]

Sure, the one I made in this video is 9-1/2 inches by 7-1/2 inches @@ElaineSmith-fo5ez

[@HelenWells-ny2sz]

Thanks for the great demonstration. Your instructions were easy to follow. I'm ready to sew!

[@brendajones7279]

[@rkaratsu]

Loved your method! Will definitely try it.

[@chicnscratch]

Have fun!!

[@FreedomRules1111]

Great video. I love the way you insert the ribbon on both sides of the bag so that you can pull on both ends of ribbon and it closes the bag up beautifully in a pinch - brilliant!

[@sharontuch3405]

Very cute. I always hunt for different ways to make these! Your way seems very easy to me. Have not used my sew tiles( they are heavy) very clever of you to use that way! Sew I got confused on the way you marked for the draw string! I’m dyslexic that didn’t click for me. Sew I must try!! 😂Thank you! 😊

[@devoriahall6827]

I love this drawstring bag, and of the beautiful fabric colors and designs. Thank you for sharing.

[@kathyallen8687]

Angie ,what an adorable bag! I don't have the patience to do any sewing,,,you make it look so easy!! You have so much talent, and I think you explained everything extremely well. Thanks for taking the time to show how to make them. 🙂

[@chicnscratch]

Thanks Kathy!! I'm not a very patient person myself but sewing and the purr of the sewing machine is very relaxing!
