Tutorial - Drawstring bag

Sometimes you just need to have all laid out in front of you and when you are done just pull the strings and the mess is gone! :)
Great for makeup, toys, coloring pencils and crayons.

Father of 2 terrible twos with lego scars all over under feet here and I am going to make this a little bigger for their legos. Thank you for your great video!

[@angelaleigh4149]

Thank you for showing the math and I have NEVER thought of using a bobby pin!! Thank you!!

[@sarahsmithard8001]

I've had this video saved for ages and I'm finally ready to make it!! Thank you for the video.

[@JosieAreSee]

This was the easiest project ever. ANY beginner can take it on. Thank you sooooo much for sharing!! It's incredibly useful.

[@blymawolpin3405]

This is an incredibly clear instructional. Thank you for posting.

[@lovdolls]

Just got back from trip and my friend had a small around jewelry holder. I found my cosmetic bag a nightmare. I'm going to make myself one of these, thanks for posting this very clear video.

[@abooie]

I've already made one of these as a dice bag and it's amazing and has lasted me nearly 2 years. Making another one as a birthday present for my friend, hope she loves it 😍

[@b28mathstutor]

What size did you use for a dice bag?

[@abooie]

@@b28mathstutor it was a massive plate I measured around. Sorry I don't know the exact size

[@b28mathstutor]

@@abooie No worries, thanks for responding. I've found another tutorial that tells me the diameter of the bag is roughly (diameter of circle + 1 inch) ÷ 2, which makes sense.

[@carolinahill4103]

Brilliant!! I will be making one of these as a make up bag to take on holiday, saves me having to empty the contents of my regular one on the bed to try and find what I’m looking for. Thank you!!

[@CourtneyConantAuthor]

Love this! I just made one, with a little trial and error. I used an old men's dress shirt that was going to be tossed and a water resistant sling bag that was also going to be tossed. It came out great! Now I'll be able to set it down on a damp counter and not have it get wet! Thanks for the video!!

[@cluisap]

Thanks for the tutorial of this bag. You did great explaining without a voice. Loved it ❣️

[@gachaqueen5179]

Dislike the music, found it distracting!

[@Scoffield_Manor]

Made one today for my daughter, what a great size and so easy to follow along!! Thank you so much 💖

[@aheartofworship27]

I wasn't aware she provided a size? Must of missed it.

[@reademandweep5427]

Thanks for the tutorial! And thank you for the detailed subtitles, really helpful :)

[@christopherpasta344]

You just taught me how to fix the drawstring on half my hoodies and pajama pants

[@MsCurliegirlie]

Can’t wait to try this! Thank you for sharing all your creativity ☺️💕

[@artisticagi]

Any black girls watching this and thinking it would also make a great sleep bonnet? 😂😂😴 Mine are elastic and would always get stretched out after a couple of months, however this one is drawstring so could last a lot longer. Thanks so much for the great video! I think I also have your blog.

[@ritarita4971]

Instructions were great! I just made one. 90 minutes is about right. I cut a 19-inch diameter circle...1/2-inch seam. So 18 inches. Not sure if you really need the notches...they are just for orientation. Two marks would suffice. Thank you. I used quilting fabric. You can use interface in between the fabric, but I think it would stiffen it too much.

[@kayelsabes8485]

Amazing tutorial... Will definitely do this pouch for my baby's toys.. thank you.😍

[@Iamedsmum]

This is fantastic! Thank you Carolina, I just have to make one - or several - of these. Thank you for sharing. Clever Lady!

[@susanmayfield4652]

Love this tutorial. I'll make it tomorrow. It will be great for my quilting supplies. Thanks so much

[@dynan-spired6377]

I made it and I love this tutorial! Easy to follow and easy to sew! Thanks!

[@dynan-spired6377]

Candice Oglesby hi. Yes. The finished strip (cord casing) has to be long enough to go around the circle. Whatever your circle measures around, you make your strip long enough to to go all the way around. She doesn't give you a measurement because you can make different sizes of your choice. Hope I helped!

[@TheNanaweaver]

If you make a huge circle and use a larger cord its great for kids and lego toys.

[@nagilakoo8612]

Adorei, Carolina! Bem simplificado, até mesmo para quem nunca usou uma máquina de costura, assim como eu... Vou começar!

[@ambyrcherrie4481]

X4 of 1/4 the circle would just be the circumference:) C= 2πr where r is the radius. So if you have the diameter of the circle you've already cut out (say 28cm) then halve that to find the radius (14cm) the circumference of the circle then would be =2π(14) or about 87.96 which you could round to 88cm. Much easier than trying to literally take a measurer around the fabric! And more precise

[@BiHomrich]

Carol, que peça mais linda!! Amei! Só um detalhe: O comprimento que você mede logo no início não é o diâmetro e sim o comprimento da circunferência. O diâmetro seria o tamanho atravessando o círculo de ponta a ponta. Beijos!

[@mattlancaster2553]

Thanks, I'll use this. BTW, the distance around the outside of a circle is called "circumference". Diameter is the distance from side to side 😊

[@nope...........]

Thanks for the video. Question...I cut my two circles the exact same size. I know because I cut the fabrics together lol, wrong-side to wrong-side. I secure the circles with pins, but when I start to sew the top fabric starts to overlap the bottom fabric! The math (or physics) makes no sense to me lol. What am I doing wrong?!

[@DV-1972]

Awesome ... Made one. Thanks for the great idea

[@IDreamOfCrafting]

What are the dimensions of the two circles? I love how big this bag is.

[@christinetookey5637]

I Dream of Crafting your choice of circle... Then measure for your binding.....

[@aheartofworship27]

Sorry, but I don't get it?

[@scarthogirl]

You show it so simply going to have a go at this thank you

[@vividresins]

Thanks! To easily get the circumference double the radius and multiply by 3.1416 (π)

[@Priska_Kelly]

i need 3 of those . one for myself two for my daughters

[@piafbaker6115]

¡Me encantó! Muy bien explicado.

[@sandiknits4174]

When you say diameter at the beginning I believe you mean circumference. Excellent tutorial

[@pamsickles3728]

This is awesome! What are the ends called that you put on the silk cord to open and shut?

[@britneyterrell7440]

Could interface be used in between fabric for extra sturdiness?

[@ThePackQueen]

Fantastic can't wait to try

[@damchiekoknal951]

Thank u very much it help me with my school work

[@esmeraldaruiz5219]

I love it! ❤️

[@maplelassuk]

Great bag, thank you!

[@Lana_Light]

Awesome tutorial! Thank you very much!!!

[@b28mathstutor]

Really helpful, thanks - except that you say diameter (distance straight across the circle) when you mean circumference (distance round the outside).

[@natewarren3370]

The word you are looking for is perimeter. Perimeter or circumference. Those are both the distance around the outside of the circle. Diameter is across the middle.

[@beckiegl]

I am assuming you sew the long and short strips together?

[@chirazoueslati1058]

I subscribed 😍

[@pollymartin604]

Is the outside measurement of the folded circle a diameter or a circumference? I thought diameter is a straight line that runs thru the center of a circle and ends on the line of the circle on either side.

[@helenbishton8957]

you are totally correct, whats being measured is the circumference not the diameter

[@mimianful]

thank you for this video!

[@gdsmanutencaoeequipamentos92]

Oi Carol! Gosto demais dos vídeos. Parabéns pelo canal. Qual o diâmetro do círculo? Passa pra gente! Alguns seguidores são iniciantes na costura, assim como eu... e vc sabe pra quem tá iniciando é bom ter as medidas. Bjos e fica com Deus! 😘

[@paulinanowicka2749]

Great tutorial! thanks a lot. Just did mine bag and its great.

[@beckiegl]

I am a bit confused what is the dimension of the Circle? also a total of 4 strips cut?

[@oldlady1314]

Dimension would be whatever you want, or whatever fabric you have on hand. The number of strips for the drawstring casing would depend on the diameter of the circle, you can substitute bias tape for that, I believe.

[@nadyaputeriparamita3540]

Thank you

[@emilytyndall8251]

Hi Carolina! I'm about as new as one can be to sewing as I'm about to unpack my new machine. Can you provide some info on the type of fabric you used? Do you prewash the fabric? Could you share general tips on fabric selection for bags? I prefer something sturdy by also soft to the touch. So many cute prints out there but I want to make sure I choose something right for application. Thanks!

[@CarolinaStefano]

Hi! You can use any quilting cotton fabric. You can buy by the yard or get a fat quarter. I usually don’t prewash those types.

[@emilytyndall8251]

@@CarolinaStefano Thank you!

[@aneoltedalbrembo9395]

Thank you for video! ❣️ Do i not need to zigzag the cottonpieces before i ser them together?

[@CarolinaStefano]

You are welcome! No, you do not need to zigzag before. 😁

[@elayjayudny9741]

Great tutorial but one little error at the start - what you are measuring is not the diameter, it’s the circumference 😊

[@anaflaviaone]

Gosto tanto da sua voz.. de vem em qdo muda o formato dos vídeos? faz falta! Bjos e parabéns vc é muito prendada!

[@elainesilva1966]

Parabéns pelo trabalho muito bem feito!

Carol, você faz pra vender? Está no Etsy? Obrigada.

[@KeeraMoon]

Genial!! Eu vi um tapete pra bebê que vira saco pra brinquedo, com o mesmo conceito, é super prático.

[@CarolinaStefano]

+Keera Moon isso aí para legos é 10!

[@Sjholisticyoga]

I'm a total newb but I don't understand why I just sewed the 2 strips together and now I am cutting them apart right where I sewed them...

[@jamiefletcher7130]

How much fabric did you use?

What type of fabric is this

[@motorhomingwithourkidsnz]

It said cotton

[@Jayariee]

@@motorhomingwithourkidsnz it didn't state if it's 100% or what type of cotton. Idk about you but where I live if you ask for cotton fabric you're getting half the store
