How to Sew a Drawstring Pouch with appliqué by Debbie Shore

I love everything that you make Debbie. I don't make all the items, but I learn new techniques with everything. I learnt to make bags, the rucksack being the first one I did during lockdown. It was a Godsend to me, and sewing kept me sane when we couldn't go out! Thank you so much for your instructions and inspiration.

I'm impressed by all these beautiful designs you come up with. This one is so cute thanks so much for your inspiration 😍

Thank you for a lovely clear tutorial. Am going to give it a go, having just had Covid am suffering a bit of brain fog, and need to get going on some sewing and actually achieve something! Happy Christmas.

Thank you Debbie. I’ve really lost my sewjo at the moment. However, this is a lovely simple project that I can do to get me back into my sewing. I have the most beautiful fabrics from your shop. So for now, I take my beautiful fabrics out, admire them and neatly fold and put back…..it’s a thing 😍

I was like that too just a little while ago....Once I started giving a few items away that I'd sewn, I got my mojo back...now I can't STOP sewing! lol

[@MyDaisy66]

@@georgycolson9671that’s encouraging. Thank you. The last few things I sewed were gifts. It’s always a good motivation isn’t it. Thank you. Happy sewing 😊

[@georgycolson9671]

@@MyDaisy66 Yes. The act of giving is a gift...it's nice to use the gift of sewing to our fullest potential:0)

So charming! The fussy cut out bird addition is inspired. Thank you for sharing your talents and pattern.

Debbie, what a lovely idea! I’ve just got out of hospital from a shoulder op and my daughter is going into hospital in a week 🤦‍♀️(what a couple 😂 and at the end of the year), so I’ll make her this bag with goodie’s that she might need. Thank you for your lovely videos and explanations. All the best for the festive season ❤️

[@debbieshore]

Thank you! Hope you’re both better soon…
