How to Make a Lined Drawstring Bag | Sewing Tutorial

[@downtnchatt9286]

This video is just the right speed. As a person new to sewing, I very much appreciate all the detailed explanation. This video is not too long and is much needed. Thanks

[@jenib320]

I'm so glad!

[@majorknitter]

Thank you Jeni! This was fantastic. I bought your bag patterns but haven't made them yet because I'm a visual learner. Now I see how easy it is. It takes a lot of time and talent to put together this type of tutorial - so please know that your generosity and efforts are greatly appreciated!

[@jenib320]

I'm so glad to hear that!

[@patriciageorge8044]

Do you have pattern supplies list & instructions if so how do I access & a donation to your site will be made by me. Thank you for your tutorials.

[@kathystempel7989]

I have been sewing for years (since I was 8 years old and I'm 74) and I wanted to say how detailed and specific this tutorial is. If someone has never made anything like this these instructions are so detailed and easy to follow anyone at most any age will be able to make this bag. Jeni Baker you are a wonderful speaker and convey your message better than most of the tutorials on You Tube. I have made many bags but just had to listen to the whole thing because you are fantastic at what you do. Keep up the good work.

[@brittfox9038]

This is my favorite bag tutorial, I've been using it since you put it out. I hadn't made a bag in almost a year and it took forever to find this video but as always totally worth it just in the time/energy/frustration saved by using this method.

[@levanera]

This was a very simple and fantastic pattern! Love the result

[@viralprimenetwork]

Great tutorial! Thank you so much for showing us how to make these nice bags. Everything was so precise! Thanks for a very good tutorial! 🥰

[@cindywebb3733]

I have made a few drawstring bags in the past, albeit I've done them the hard way. The way you lined up your pieces was so much easier than the way I made mine. Thanks for the great pattern, I'm sure that I will use it again, and again.

[@tltl7525]

nice😅

[@nynurse2]

What a great tutorial! I bought your pattern, but this is a BIG HELP, since I am more of a “ visual learner”. Thank you so much for this! I cant wait to make my first one!

[@patriciamoller3060]

Excellent tutorial, thankyou , you explain very clearly , look forward to watching for more lessons

[@grammieluli]

Awesome tutorial! Explained perfectly..you're a great teacher! Thank you.

[@jenib320]

Thanks for watching!

[@jayhass]

I’ve watched hundreds of these video tutorials. This is probably the best one I’ve seen. The instructions are very clear and the work turns out beautifully because of your method. Thank you!

[@ellendowney796]

Beautiful! I can’t wait to try this! Your instructions are really clear and helpful 😊

[@jenib320]

Thanks so much 😊

[@genevievec9427]

Jeni, you are a Fantastic teacher!!!! Thank you so much for this tutorial :)

[@jenib320]

Thank you so much!

[@vijayagauri7988]

Great tutorial explaining carefully the minutest details. I will enjoy doing this draw string bag. Thank you.

[@jenib320]

Glad it was helpful!

[@merylinrivera8089]

Enjoyed this instructional video, loved her pace and very detailed. I was able to make this purse first time through the video. Great tutorial!

[@jenib320]

Hooray, I'm so glad to hear that!

[@ca6177]

Everything was so precise! Thanks a very good tutorial! 👍

[@jenib320]

Glad you think so!

[@godsspecialchild86]

What a fabulous tutorial! This might be the easiest drawstring bag tutorial I've ever seen! I even made one for my friend.....for a Christmas present! 😉

[@jenib320]

Yay! That's so fun!

[@marytringale5266]

You made this very clear thank you

[@jenib320]

Glad it was helpful!

[@janet5983]

t This is the first video I watched (and I've watched lots) that don't have the cutting measurements on the screen!

[@daffodilangel8724]

Thank you 😊 this has been very helpful.

[@jenib320]

I'm glad!

[@TeresaBaker101]

Great tutorial! Thanks!

[@jenib320]

Thank you!

[@deannalfordwriter]

This really is a fantastic video. I had no trouble following along. Stopped the video at intervals and did each step and the bag turned out beautifully though three of the four gussets got mismatched and I didn’t get the accent pieces properly matched. My modifications included making a bigger bag and to use my embroidery machine to add the gift recipient's name.

[@jenib320]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I bet that's beautiful with the embroidery!!

[@deannalfordwriter]

@@jenib320 Don't see a way to post or send you a picture but yes, it was quite lovely. I’ve always been stumped on how to make a lined bag because of the outside-inside wrongside-out confusion [so I’ve stuck to zipper bags that I’ve got a go-to pattern for] but your design has NONE of that.

[@katiehelfenberger3506]

Thank you! I made 10 bags for wrapping gifts for my kids tonight. This video was so quick and easy to understand. I will be making more bags after Christmas, also for birthdays!

[@mamarylou9441]

Great pattern, excellent tutorial! It was explained so well>

[@jenib320]

Thank you!

[@njame2137]

Love idea, but not sure on the raw edges in the drawstring area so I think I would zig zag the edges in them from the start. Thanks

[@nadiasews]

great tutorial! Thank you!

[@jenib320]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@suzannevoris1933]

I watched this tutorial with my grand-daughter who is 8, in preparation for sewing a bag for her journal and another for her tarot cards and I will probably make a bag for my DnD dice. This was really easy to understand and we are looking forward to following these instructions. Thank you!

[@jenib320]

I'm so glad to hear that!!

[@janholman6192]

You might find a "center-finding ruler" helpful when constructing the casing. Much more quick and easier. If not sold at Joann's try Home Depot.

[@jenib320]

I'll look into that!

[@janesteele4447]

Thank you so much for this video. So we’ll done. I need to make a lined drawstring bag for something at my church. I need to put the drawstring at the top without the “ruffle” at the top. So, I’m going to have to figure it out. Again. Great video! I’ve saved it. I can’t find the written directions though. ???

[@jenib320]

Sure thing! The written instructions are linked in the description of the video!

[@barbaraoconnor5167]

Hi Jeni, This was remarkable. You didn't miss a step, can't wait to get started. I have visions of drawstring bags dancing in my head. Thank you so much for this tutorial. (and it wasn't too long.)

[@giselleaiabens7424]

Thank you so much for this great tutorial! I can’t wait to make this sweet little bag in several sizes!

[@jenib320]

Have fun!

[@beverleyann7592]

Hi Jeni. I just came across your channel. Your tutorial is so clear and easy to follow. I am excited to make my own bag now. Thanks very much!

[@jenib320]

I'm so glad to hear that! :)

[@alicexhinatarme]

This was the first thing I made with my first sewing machine and I’m in love! I’m definitely going to be making them for friends and I’m going to try a couple of reversible bags too!

[@susheela108]

Excellent tutorial Jen! Thank you! I’ve made a large one for a quilt I gifted to my MIL in 1999, and haven’t done one since. It’s an excellent way to present a quilt and for someone to store it vs in a plastic bag!

[@jenib320]

Sure thing! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I agree, a great way to gift a quilt!

[@mariannemcquade7522]

Great instruction as they are so logical and precise. I love your method. I've learned so much from you. I enjoy watching your video over and over again. Well done and thank you for sharing.

[@BethSchultz-creativegenius]

This video is sooooooo PERFECT! EXACTLY what I was looking for! Thank you so very much for the clear, concise directions and explanations! I’ve probably watched 20 different videos on lined bags and this is LITERALLY the ONLY one that makes perfect sense! Thanks again for your time and the effort you put forth to share this information! I’m super excited to make this now!

[@susankiewra250]

Excellent tutorial!!! You did a great job showing and explaining this!! THANKS!

[@jenib320]

Thank you!

[@Beverly2020]

I’ve never seen a lined bag sewn together like this, but it makes so much sense! Thank you.

[@jenib320]

I'm so glad!

[@debbyomalley7976]

I've been wanting to make a lined bag like this. Excellent job with giving instructions! Thank you

[@jenib320]

You are so welcome!

[@janemorris5762]

Thank you, this is the sort of brilliant tutorial I've been searching for!

[@rebeccamills4673]

Great tutorial with detailed instructions! I have you bag pattern and I'm going to make some bags today for Christmas gifts. Thank you!

[@susanhouser3676]

Me too! My grandsons love it when I make them handmade keepsake gifts for them! 🎄🙂

[@jenib320]

How lovely!

[@jenib320]

That's so sweet!

[@asmileisspecial]

Thank you so much for this level of detail! Most tutorials don’t explain things it’s hard for beginners to figure out! Also, what ruler sizes are you using? I love your blog, it’s so helpful for organisation tips.

[@jenib320]

My most used ruler sizes are 6.5"x24, 12.5" square and 6.5" square!

[@Brenda-um7hg]

Thank you for the video!. Seeing the assembly visually is oh sew helpful!. I am off to check out your patterns.. ❤️

[@jenib320]

I'm glad!

[@candynelson3096]

Great tutorial 😃. What is the name / fabric line of your adorable flower print in this tutorial?? So pretty. Thank you.

[@jenib320]

The exterior flower print is from the collection Strawberry Fields by Rifle Paper Co for Cotton & Steel.

[@craftnm7225]

Excellent tutorial and your bag is so pretty! Love the contrasting colors!

[@jenib320]

Thanks so much!

[@judychurchill294]

When did you sew the top edge? Only noticed when you boxed the corners. Before that you said to just sew three sides together??

[@jenib320]

The fourth edge was sewn together in the first sewing step (when all the pieces are sewn into one long strip).

[@lindajacobs1487]

I cut out four bags and have finished two. I'll finish the other two tomorrow! I added a lightweight interfacing on the main body of the bag, changed the turning gap to the side and used a new ruler to cut the boxed corners before sewing. I also learned to wait until the bag is finished before closing the gap!

[@Sandrab769]

Bias tape maker comes in handy for making the strips.

[@Piaknits]

Great tutorial. Thorough but not drawn out. The masking tape trick is brilliant.

[@jenib320]

Thank you! :)

[@pamfrank3962]

Excellent tutorial. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talent. This tutorial is absolutely the best tutorial that I have ever watched. Clear and consise...plus you kept my interest. I have not seen a drawstring bag sewn this way but this is a logical way to sew..I will be sewing this method in the future. ❤

[@mickybearden9641]

Jeni this tutorial was Super Duper!! We did it at our monthly Church Craft Day! It was really fun!! Thank You!!!

[@saviness]

Really nice and clear. Thank you.

[@girlflorida67]

Thank you! You are sooo detailed. 😀

[@jenib320]

Thanks! :)

[@66oldoak]

Thank you for this tutorial. Was super easy to follow and I've just made 2!!

[@jenib320]

Awesome!!

[@joycefung2473]

I suppose this method is only good if our seams are all the same size? As a beginner I find it difficult to have all the seams the same width.. I use a guide but I still do have my hiccups :/

[@gabriellagarcia382]

Thank you for showing us a simpler way how to make these bags. You should have strong the straps so they don't look awkward

[@susanhouser3676]

Great tutorial! Thank you so much for showing us how to make these nice bags. I can’t wait to make some and fill with gifts and treats for my four grandsons. ❤️

[@jenib320]

You're welcome! How fun.

[@ceciliabreedlove6433]

Thank you I loved it I told my husband to see it also I think I can make one for all 15 great grandaughters in time for Easter

[@eva379rodriguez3]

If I had not found this tutorial I would have taken a crappy bag a “ seamstress “ sewed for me. I will definitely sew my draw string purse for my costume. On the road now But I will post when I make it! Thank you!

[@lindac3647]

Really nice detailed tutorial. These are assembled a little differently then the ones I've made before. I like this way better!

[@annmulroy7577]

Great tutorial for beginners.

[@jenib320]

I'm glad!

[@jenib320]

Thanks!

[@adeleb7753]

thank you :))

[@deborahcollins5819]

I will definitely make some of these! You’re a great teacher and I appreciate your time and making the tutorial for all of us!

[@deannasilva8891]

I really like your patterns and your instructions. So easy to follow and understand. Great job!

[@LM-ny6tf]

Great bag! Your instructions are really good.

[@jenib320]

Thank you!

[@AriyaX-m7h]

Franst der Tunnelzug vom Drawstring nicht aus das ist ja nicht umnäht wenn ständig die Kordel gezogen wird

[@malathiepahathkumbura1298]

Wow! Your instructions are cristal clear. Thank you Jeni.💚🤗

[@published2809]

Jeni I stitched along with you and my bag is perfect. I did cheat on the drawstring with bias tape and it’s beautiful! Very nice lesson, thank you.

[@samantha4130]

Great masking tape tip

[@sarahmiranda7130]

Doesn't the hole opening fray because it is a raw edge?

[@JohnSmith-kv6gj]

Thank you, please keep up your good work. Very well put together and lovely voice. Thank you

[@laurabarber6697]

You are a great teacher! Very through and so many tips! You make me smile! Thank you!💝

[@sandramichaud8033]

Liked and subscribed. Thanks for the video.❤

[@eva379rodriguez3]

Well, update I made my purse with your tutorial but I don’t know how to post it here

[@laurabarber6697]

33:00 that masking tape tip for both sides of the channel is smart! 💝

[@marisareis5310]

Very, very long.

[@colleenrenno4884]

Thank you for a great tutorial!!! I can't wait to make one!

[@jenib320]

Hooray!

[@kathyfehrenbach6232]

I made this today with 13”x13” squares and added an interior pocket. Your tutorial is fantastic! I really like how mine turned out. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

[@jenib320]

Awesome!

[@ellenyokoyama8252]

Thanks ❤

[@dominic26948]

Wow Jeni , you made it so simple, thank you so much

[@jeannebrickley5581]

Great tutorial! Thank you

[@jenib320]

Thank you!

[@anncanham2870]

Great bag with excellent instructions. My only query is why does one need to buy pattern when you give the measurements in the tutorial.

[@jenib320]

Thanks! The paid for pattern has 7 additional sizes as well as instructions for making your own custom size bag.

[@paintilludrop]

❤❤❤

[@hilaritysmailbox580]

This was really great! Just one question. How do you square up the edge before you start cutting? For some reason my Cuts don’t come out even and it makes me crazy.

[@jenib320]

I choose a reference edge to start from (usually the selvedge) and trim up the other sides based off that edge. It definitely takes some practice!

[@donnabusby9774]

I made a project bag size today. Will make more for a bunch of projects and gifts!

[@jenib320]

Awesome!

[@spoostad]

I just found your channel.Inlove this tutorial.Great instructions.
