How to Sew a Drawstring Canvas Backpack with Mx Domestic

[@Sandrab769]

I make my own straps with two inch wide strip for the cord string. It's more economical and it won’t fray. I watched your tutorial to learn how to insert a zipper pocket. I want to add it to my backpacks. I love the french seam too. Love all my KZbin teachers. Thank you.

[@hannahcrumley3103]

Perfect gift for everyone! I gotta tell you this... I decided to watch this “big” - I put you up on my big tv and as I sat on the floor looking up and watching my 18 year old son walks through- he said I look like a kid watching my favorite show! ☺️ I was watching my favorite!!!💕

[@susanlauder5308]

I FINISHED MY DRAWSTRING BACKPACK!!! yay

[@nadineuratsuka9304]

LOVE your personality and joyful attitude! Your tutrial was so easy to follow and I was able to make several with some vintage fabric that I've been waiting to use. You make me laugh when you laugh at your mistakes making it easier for me to overcome my own mistakes. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

[@cheryljahr9641]

You read my mind, been looking for this very bag love it❤️❤️❤️

[@CLEMANSJK]

Just so you know how loved you are, I share your tutorials in my sewing group every Tuesday!

[@37debbiek]

Great tips and tutorial. A bodkin will make putting the cord through the "pocket" so much easier than the safety pin. It's my new favorite tool!! (Sarah at Sew Sweetness gave me the idea)

[@sharonmyers1265]

First of all..... I'm in love with your personality! I can't wait to try the bag. ❤

[@cerenademe9433]

What a great bag! I think I would like to make a little tab with a grommet to put in the lower corner, but the way you constructed this is so great! Thanks!

[@meaghanlarsen1618]

I love you!! You are the coolest man sewer!! I needed this tutorial😃😃😃😊

[@OrsolyaRDuna]

Thank you very much for this precise and helpful tutorial! It was fun to watch how you sew it, even I was disappointed at a moment, you're chill style had helped me a lot!

[@sherrieleeberry]

So glad you are back!!!!! Love this tutorial

[@heartfuldesigns4you]

Love this and you! I love how you have taken that ordinary drawstring backpack and really stepped it up! That amazing fabric, the coolest zipper and pocket ever, and french seams!? Whhaattt?! My fabric is in the dryer now and getting ready to make my beautiful MD Backpack🤗

[@etoufee21]

Well done 👍

[@rosettagadson1762]

thanks for the pattern. I need to make one so I'll have it next month when I go upstate to visit my sister. Thanks again

[@sandyrichmond2570]

You’re the best!

[@Ameylynn]

I love how happy you are!

[@ericabutler3]

I bought Wonder tape because of your videos. I've been sewing for YEARS and never knew this was even a thing. Sadly, I can't find 1/4 inch Wonder tape locally, only larger widths. Guess I'll just have to order online! I just love your tutorials and your positivity.

[@buffycleaveland8116]

"I love my seams extra crispy"! He says!

[@valeriejohnson2367]

Perfect

[@lisaowen6103]

A tip that I do when inserting a drawstring. I like to use a wide tube plastic drinking straw. Run the straw in your drawstring channel. Then run the string through the inside the drinking straw. No fabric restance or safety pin sticking to the fabric. Remove drinking straw from drawstring channel. Leaving the drawstring in the fabric channel. Ta da !!! Easy Peasy. A narrow pumming pipe could work too. Instead of drinking straw.👨‍🔧

[@pattyglaviano3285]

Great tutorial! I look forward to making one.

[@Trinity333ist]

That bag is perfect for a diaper bag for an on-the-go mom!!!

[@BumbleBeeOnTheBeach]

Awesome 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I thank you 🙏 for this creative tuto Mister Domestic ! I subscribed to your channel since last xmas🎅 then used to follow your activities👩‍💻 .In fact, I didn't grab any knowledges 🤷‍♀️ in sewing yet but I will start to learn seam's rudiments with a known professional who provides course 💁🏼‍♀️ from September 🍂 and I hope 🧞‍♀️ I will be able once to do the items that you tremendously make 🏆 Anyway, I am delighted with the idea to realise fabrics goodies by my own and I very look forward to start the teaching ! Best regards from FRANCE 🇫🇷 Have an Amazing Day 🌞 Cheers&Confetti ; )🍀 Iris Apfel 🍓

[@maryhuckle6926]

Absolutley love this. Thank you for making this very easy to follow i'll be making one for my daughter. I have a question though. I'm using cotton fabric not canvas so should I use interfacing on the material? Thanks

[@aydggonz3805]

I saw that you have maybe/ possibly a bamboo cutting board under your wool pressing mat... is that to protect your cutting board from the heat under your pressing mat? If so ingenious! BTW, another great tutorial. I’m going to try this later.

[@sandrawhite2561]

I stumbled across your easy to follow tutorial and have a question I would like to make a drawstring backpack for my great-granddaughters 19th birthday. My question is what is the sewing machine you are using in this video?

[@lucir1000]

You are so good, Thank You. I liked the technique of attaching the back panel to the zipper. Very clever! Thank you!

[@billofalltrades1468]

If you use a wooden skewer from like the dollar store, the long ones and tape the cord to it. First insert the skewer tape cord to it and pull

[@annagarcia4142]

You're too cute. Thanks for the fun video ❤

[@stephaniecogdill5234]

Made your amazing drawstring bag this weekend in no time and LOVE IT! I can't wait to make more of them. I haven't been sewing for long, but you make learning so easy and so much fun, I laughed out loud numerous times while watching. Keep the amazing tutorials coming!

[@lizhumble9953]

Okay beginner question on the tension on the zig zag. Are you lowering the tension number or raising it to make the tension less? I am not sure what that number actually means. Thank you.

[@joane8651]

Yes, I was wondering about this, also. My Pfaff is not user friendly in tension adjusting, you can do it, but it doesn't recommend doing it.

[@lyndasnart7823]

I would just use a smaller zigzag not quit downto satin stitch but a narrower and width wise zig zag setting

[@lizhumble9953]

Mister Domestic thank you!

[@denisarsamantha2438]

Love how neat you did this project. Your joyful personality is amazing. Keep up the good work.

[@denisek5208]

Absolutely love the color of the canvas! The tips you have on installing a zipper and using a French seam are on point👌those extra touches really elevate the project. Thanks for sharing.

[@kimberlyhenry7717]

Do you recommend using a denim needle with the canvas or is a universal needle fine?

[@lindsayfitch7605]

Ah!! I love this! And I love your approach, great tips for making thing clean and CRISPY! I'm getting back into sewing, looking forward to watching more of your stuff after I make a string bag of rainbow fabric for my sweet son 🙂

[@sewnsewing]

You're good. I'm curious about the other video. I'll take a good look.

[@lizabethduran4417]

Just the bag I've been wanting to try. As a brand spanking new sewer. I am so happy to have found you. Your vids are amazing. I especially love how you've named your machine Felicia. Mine is Ramona Singer😜

[@razztaz657]

What is the gadget you used to turn the tab inside out ?

[@EvaVilla-pm5mv]

Really cool bag. Love the French seams.

[@Laydeeworeblak]

When I click on the link for supplies and measurements, it doesn't work.

[@joane8651]

Thank you, Matthew, perfect gift for my daughter, and granddaughter and friend(s). I love this.

[@meaghanlarsen1618]

Will 1 yard of fabric be enough?

[@meaghanlarsen1618]

Mister Domestic thank you

[@sarah_was_taken]

I have been looking for a decent zipper by the yard. Thanks for the recommendation!

[@renheidtman154]

I had a horrible weekend, I'm so happy I found you last week, you explain so well. I love it. Thank you for making my Sunday night better. ♡

[@donnarogers2429]

I have to make this for sure! I had a cheap one, it broke this morning on my walk with the beagle. I use mine for carrying a water bottle and poop bags for the beagle. And I just bought some really neat heavy cotton fabric.

[@morganquilts]

I love how you hid the zipper. I love french seams but would never have thought of doing that. Awesome bag! I will be making one for myself as soon as I can.

[@juliebute905]

Love your fabric. Where did you find that scissor-like fabric turner. I’ve been looking for one!

[@Kellycreator]

Loved your tutorial! So fun, still perfectly constructed. Definitely going to do this. Only thing I’d say is pocket side should be close to the body for safety.

[@jeanleigh5425]

I cannot find those green "must have" material turner dealie....I looked every where.....so sad ....but love your videos!!

[@loretta4618]

Thank You Again Mathew for Another Wonderful tutorial. I Love it.

[@nancyolson4927]

Made it! I don’t sew, but followed along and it came out great. Made it for a homemade corn hole game bag storage.

[@brynnman]

Thank you....you make this look easy ....great instruction....and love your spirt.

[@thelindsaymaestefon4157]

Omg Matthew, I have to make one of these!!! So simple, but so cute!!!

[@ArtGalleryFabrics]

Love these so much! Thanks for such a great tutorial! Definitely going to be getting some of those zippers and make some of these bags!

[@tinayuen9520]

It's amazing & so satisfying watching every single step. You are the best!

[@sshaw4429]

[@dawnroadment6835]

FABULOUS TUTORIAL> never put a zipper in before but defo gonna try.Thank you sweetie. xxxx

[@momgrandma5496]

Can never have enough bags, hold ‘em in your hand, sling ‘em over your shoulder, slap ‘em on your back. This is great, especially with the zippered pocket for notions, patterns and such for crafters. Yay!

[@Cgd33]

omg you had me laughing this whole way through ILY

[@lyndasnart7823]

You make non sewers feel they can successfully try something and give them confidnce regardless of age to succeed 👍🇦🇺🌟Then you make sewers like my self overflow with inspiration ....once again my friend thankyou

[@twyla2575]

Zigzag those stragglies - Be Gone!! Love how your mind processes all the stuff that you do. It helps me stay focused. Thanks!!!

[@thekeenanfamily3692]

Made one for my daughters classroom. They use one to carry emergency info when they leave the classroom. They have gone through 5 or 6 premade ones this year. We'll see how long this one lasts. :) Super easy and very nice looking. I'll use this tutorial again. :)

[@dillionrose2782]

I just got my first sewing machine and was looking for a project and I found you and I love with you. I want to make that bag. Awesome 👍.

[@deeleach8300]

You make me laugh along with you.Thanks for a great video and the laughs. Love the french seams, they work so well on things you do not want to line.

[@Bynggo]

Thank you for another fabulous idea. Love your videos. You’re the greatest teacher, thank you

[@rachelt7000]

I need to rewatch that ninja pocket action, but I love not having to make a lining, yet have all the seams hidden! Thanks.

[@laurapage8190]

I have that same fabric!😊

[@DanaStrotheide]

Those French seams are witchcraft! Love it. I'll definitely have to make one! ❤️

[@sharonleclaire9037]

EXCELLENT as always!!!!
