Make an easy komebukuro (Japanese rice bag)

A komebukuro is a drawstring bag traditionally used in Japan to bring rice offerings to temples and shrines. They were made of small pieces of cloth. This is my version of such a bag. The fabrics used for the bag (except for the lining) are made by ‪@olympusthread‬

This is the shortest, fastest video on making these I’ve seen so far. Now it makes sense! Thank you!!

[@patriciabaker648]

I loved how you used regular A2 paper as a template. Excellent tutorial and easy to follow. Thank you for making this video.

What a great bag and the fabrics are so gorgeous!

[@virginiabenbow3189]

Thank you for this video it was clear and one of the best constructions that I have seen on rice bags and sew quick to watch giving me more time to make one for myself. ❤

You're very welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@gwendolynbeatty2058]

So easy to follow your directions 😊

[@juliapace2845]

Beautiful - I love it. But doesn't the rice come out of the corners? Did I miss the sewing of the corners (I watched twice)

[@bonnadowns524]

[@glendajean3366]

Many thanks , great video easy to follow, it answered my questions regarding adding the lining.

[@DlauLau-to8ne]

Thank you for easy instructions

[@mjemyers]

Such an interesting way to construct this bag! I would love to see the finished corners more clearly. I think they may be slightly boxed? I like that idea so much.

[@helgamiller8810]

Very nice. You have make a beautyful piece createt. 🥰😇 Greatings from Bavaria in Germany

[@kristinchristienitter]

Great tutorial, thanks🎉

[@helenaMe325]

But what about the corners?? Didn't see you end up sewing any of them at all 🤷

[@heleneholm7059]

Que legal! adorei obrigada por compartilhar👏🏼👍🏻

[@terp4u2]

Do you happen to also have written instructions? Easier to lay out as sewing

[@whatever-ql5ns]

Gorgeous. Tho I’ll have to slow it down. Well worth it tho. Thank you.

[@tcldevi]

Would have been good if it was a little slower.

[@Thenaturalingredients]

do you think I can do a similar pattern but without a drawstring? instead wanted to just have handles, do you think it would look weird or throw off the whole look of the bag ? thanks!

[@mrscpc1918]

I found that impossible to follow 😩
