Making a Japanese-inspired drawstring bag with flat bottom using your textile art! Kinchaku bag

Thank you for watching!
I originally made this bag in this video:
Slow stitch with me
• Slow stitch with me - ...
The close up photos of the outer panel I used in this video is on my Instagram page here:

As I explained in this video, I took the basic idea of this bag from Japanese traditional Kinchaku bags.
The measurements of the materials of the bag from the original video are here:
main panels (cut 2) 43cmx23cm
seam allowance 1.5cm
loop pieces (cut 6) 4cmx7cm for 1cm wide loop bands
distance between the loops approx 6.5cm
(I had limited materials left so I was able to make only 6 loops)
diameter of the cardboards (cut 2) 10cm
the diameter of the bottom panels (cut 2) 13cm
cords (cut 2) 80cm
When I originally made this bag, I didn't measure everything and I didn't plan the process, so you may need to fine tune it for your purpose...
You can make the bottom panel into a square or a hexagon shape too!
The bag with red cords in the video is also one of the traditional drawstring bags. Let me know you are interested to learn how to make that one as well.

I love that design, it looks to simple yet elegant. It will be very handy for crafting supplies! The pattern on the patchwork fabric is beautifully done.

I have made all of my grocery shopping bags as well as my knitting bag, but because I use them very often I put the plastic "needlepoint" type inserts into the bottom. I make them removable so that I can wash my bags. Just an idea for people like me who are a bit of a clean freak. One can never have enough bags, especially when they are as beautiful as the one you made. 😁

[@thegreenwrapper]

Thank you so much for the advice❤️💕 That’s a really good idea👍 I’ve also reused a plastic board which was actually sewn in an old bag in the past. If you use some cardboard, you can’t wash the bag easily. Some thick interfacing might work too🪡🧵

Thank you so much😊❤️💕🥹 I actually really struggled to make this video, as my first language is not English but Japanese (and there are many mistakes in captions always😅). Thank you so much for your feedback!💕🪡🧵

Do you have videos on how to make the single pieces

[@karenavey2183]

Single pieces?

[@thegreenwrapper]

Hi😊 Do you mean the outer panels for the bags? There’s one video I stitches the panel for the white bag⬇️ Slow stitch with me kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJ25aJqKaLmXl8U The panel for the other bag is something I did in the past but not for videos, so there’s no video. You can see the close up photos of the piece on my Insta⬇️ instagram.com/p/C3q3Cw2hoPn/?igsh=MW5uMGo2NHY3OTRqMw==

Amazing!! Have you ever tried a project with Kogin stitching? It looks difficult but beautiful, I'd love to see a video on it if you ever tried it!

[@thegreenwrapper]

Yes, I have tried several times but I’m not experienced enough to be able to explain well😅 It’s not as difficult as you would imagine though. I’m hoping to do some in videos in the future but I need more practice!!❤️🧵🪡
