I’ve used the burrito method for years making pillowcases, but have never thought about using this method for gift bags! Genius!

[@deborahcollins5819]

I know! Like...... why did I not think of that? I thought the burrito pillowcase was genius too. Anyone know who first came up with the method?

[@deborahcollins5819]

Now of course the ideas are flowing. Thinking a large one of these would be great for when kids go to sleep overs and like to take their own pillow and blanket. Add an embroidered name.....hmm 😉

[@joannturrin9141]

I just found your video. I made this bag in large size and I lined it. Thank you for this wonderful video. I will make many more . appreciate all your help. You were very helpful.

[@TheSewingChannel]

Wonderful Joann...thank you for such great feedback💛

[@amberj9847]

Hi Joanne, may I please have your measurements for bigger one?

[@tlsnana9539]

This is wonderful! My grandson’s 16th birthday party is tomorrow. He’s been hinting about getting a car . . . I’m going to get a matchbox car, roll it in tissue paper and put in this cute little gift bag. Perfect!! Thank you for mentioning this in your last minute gift video.

[@TheSewingChannel]

Great idea❣️

[@txknitnurse]

Thank you Tracey. These bags are so cute and will be useful to hold Christmas gifts or just gift the bag. I love the way it is finished with no raw edges. Using three fabrics really adds to the uniqueness of every bag. These will be a hit any time of the year.

[@TheSewingChannel]

Thank you for kind words. Merry Christmas!🎁🎄

[@lindajordan7483]

Excellent technique and tutorial! I have used the burrito method numerous times for my pillowcases, but excited to try using the same technique for these bags. Thank you for explaining the process so clearly and concisely. Great job!

Thank you! Very clear straightforward tutorial! The first time I learned about French seams was when sewing pillowcases. I love these seams. Never thought about using them for drawstring bags. I've been sewing drawstring bags for a craft show and I'm excited to have found this tutorial! It makes sewing them easier, quicker and way neater. Thank you again. You have a new subscriber!

[@TheSewingChannel]

[@linvallier2269]

Brilliant idea, thanks so much for your thorough explanation! ❤

[@elnorac]

Thanks so much for this brilliant tutorial! It’s funny how one little thing can cause an aha! moment. I always make a knot in the ends of the ribbon so the drawstring isn’t accidentally pulled through the casing, but that means it can’t be tied into a bow. It’s so much nicer the way you’ve done it! It’s very nice of you to so generously share your knowledge!

You can use any size you'd like.✅ Just double the bottom piece for lining and continue with same method keeping 2 fabrics together✅

[@TheSewingChannel]

You’re welcome! 💛

[@Marialla.]

It's a very nice bag. I always prefer a double-sided drawstring though (especially for larger bags) because I like the grab-both-sides-and-pull action. To do that, you would just cut your white casing in half and hem all four short edges before sewing it in similarly, right? Maybe leave a centimeter of space in the middle to account for the hemmed bits.

[@TheSewingChannel]

Great tip!

Thank you for a great tutorial. Love to try this a little larger. What is the formula to make the bag bigger?? How do you figure the Measurements?? Thank you💕 God Bless

[@Marialla.]

I think you could make the bag any size you wanted. The only thing to keep in mind is that the ruffle (top portion) must be able to fit around the rolled-up fabric from the bottom portion. Other than that, the dimensions would be up to you.

[@gint1647]

Super good tutorial just in time for Christmas! Trying it out now. Merry Christmas 🎄

[@elainefitzgerald9125]

I love this method. Simple and easy. Now, I would like to use this method for a circle based drawstring bag, what do you think, would this be possible? If so, I wish you could do a video on it, Love your videos!

[@TheSewingChannel]

I’ve never done a circle bag. Sounds interesting though✅💛

[@Marialla.]

This should work well as a circle-bottom bag. You would do the bag the same, but at the end only french seam the side. Then you would attach the circular bottom, wrong sides together. Then french seam the bottom into place. I like circular bags too! They hold an amazingly huge amount of stuff, while standing up nicely.

Wow! Why didn’t I see this before when I was struggling to make a story sac? Tracy I’m new to all this, please help. I need to make a story sac as beautiful as your bags. The base needs to be 18x18 inches. Please can you tell me all the measurements for the fabric please. Im frightened of messing up. Bless you. Also. Ould the casing be on the inside? Would that work?

[@TheSewingChannel]

*_Pauline...yes the casing can be on the inside (when you sew the side and bottom french seam just keep in mind ). I'm horrible with sewing measurements LOL😂 But if you need a bag 18"x18" finished- you will need approximately 18.50" x 36.50" base fabric and the top piece/ruffle start with 37" x 6.50"(or7"depending on how wide you you want ruffle). the drawstring sleeve probably 1.50" or 2" wide then fold/ length 35" .
