Drawstring Bag

You will need for this drawstring bag:
2- 5 x 5 inch squares of fabric
Needle and thread
2-30 inches pieces of yarn and a large yarn needle

Sewing a small bag with a drawstring

Cut out 2 – 5 inch squares of fabric. Put right sides together. Right sides are the sides with the design on them. These sides will be showing when you finish the project.

Right side/Wrong side

Sew along sides of fabric leaving the top open. Use a straight running stitch with your stitches close together. Once you have finished the sides. Turn the top down ¼ -1/2 inch and sew a straight stitch along the bottom. Be srue you only sew through one side.



Turn material right side out.

Thread yarn with a large needle but don't tie the end. With the yarn, stitch a straight stitch along the top edges leaving excess at the beginning and at the end. Tie ends together. Stitch another row of yarn under the first row making sure you leave excess yarn at the beginning and end. Tie ends when you reach the end.



You can pull the yarn to close the bag.
