Seeing as I had some rather lovely batik fabric left over – I decided to make some drawstring bags. Having made one, and enjoyed it so much, it seemed only natural that I should make a few more! There is something really satisfying about these little bags. For one, they are very easy (and I’m not just saying that)… and for another thing, they make fantastic presents to give to friends and family. I think it is fair to say that once you have made one, subsequent bags can be made within a couple of hours. P.S – its also a great way of using up small pieces of batting.
these are beautiful. I have enough fabric on hand to make 3000 of them right now…. 🙂
Better get to it then…can’t wait to see!
Love!
Thank you!
I love the fabrics you used. I have so many bags but always looking to make more. I’ll catch up soon. “)
Thank you Marlene – I really loved playing with the combination of colours.
I had wondered about the pattern you used. Looked like 2 different styles.
Its just a case of joining 3 strips of fabric and then cutting out 4 pieces with a template. The bag is made from the 4 pieces you join together. A diagram would probably explain it a lot better!
I have two boxes of beads to send to a very special little girl quite soon. I think a drawstring bag would be perfect for them. Thanks for the inspiration 🙂
That’s a great idea Avis – hope I get to see the result! I have one I use whenever I go away to put jewellery in.
Cute as well as my taste. Be Blessed because you are a Blessing, Mtetar
Thank you Mtetar 🙂
You’re always most welcome as well as it is my pleasure. Be Blessed, Mtetar
