Free On-Line Tutorials: REVERSIBLE DRAWSTRING BAG - Page 1
< back to Free Bag Patterns page
 |
This tutorial is sized to make a large drawstring bag, but you could adjust it to any size you want. I like to work with 100% cotton since it is easy to handle, forgiving and takes a crease well. Half a metre of each of the main fabrics will be plenty and still leave you enough to make a smaller bag too.
Main fabric 1: 2 pieces; 15 x 20 inches |
||||||
STEP 1: Gather your notions and cut your fabrics as shown above |
STEP 2: Take the two pieces for the cord sleeve and, at both short ends of each, turn under a double hem and stitch in place. |
||||||
STEP 3: At your ironing board, press each of the cord sleeves in half lengthwise, wrong sides together |
STEP 4: On your work surface, lay one of the Fabric 1 panels face up and centre the cord sleeve on the short edge all raw edges aligned |
