DIY DRAWSTRING BAGS | abetweene

DIY drawstring bags? Its not magic, it's easy!

you’ll need:

- muslin or printed cotton if your choosing
- sewing machine or needle
- matching thread
- cord or string

the dimensions of my finalized bags are 4.5” X 5.5”
remember to add 1/4” seam allowance for your side seams, and 1/2” for the tunnel

i actually made this, which i am impressed with since i'm a beginner. the tutorial itself was okay, but for someone like me, it was very hard to follow and i had to look up other tutorials on how to do certain things she was doing in the video. this was not just the types of stiches she did. if you are a beginner, i don't reccomend you try this alone. other than that, great tutorial!

I love the wooden table on which you're working. Neat design.

This is a really good tutorial! I have a small glass frog I carry around with me everywhere, as a sort of, comfort item to help with my anxiety and calm me down. Recently it broke in it's original glass container, after being rattled around too much in my backpack, and lost an eye. Having a pouch like this will help a ton to keep it safe and with me, thank you so much! ❤️

Thank you! I was wracking my brains trying to find a way to sew small bag casings by machine. TWO OPENINGS! Brilliant!!! :-) ... and thanks for the tip about the open seams... I have been learning on my own and appreciate ALL tips! :-))

Ariane, your tutorial is very well done; your attention to detail is mag! So, just stopping by to express my sincere thanks, as I needed a quick refresher on these little bags. As an older craftswoman, I find it deeply hopeful to discover younger people who love to create. Please accept my respectful kudos, and best wish’s for many more years sewing and otherwise creating.

I been looking around and this is the easiest explanation I have seen on the internet. Thank you.

Im making a drawstring bag for my crystals and this is the FIRST video I clicked on... 🙌🏼 blessed be sista ✨

[annelisevigna]

I'm a teacher and I did one following your tutorial for an activity with the little pals, thank you so much!

This is both super helpful (I’m attempting to make a drawstring bag for a set of dice, ) but also I could just sit and listen to this on repeat to listen to your voice? Very calm and soothing, and almost reminds me of the tour guides who speak on rides at Disney.

[kirabornemann]

This is fantastic!! Inspired me to get more into sewing. Thank you :)

[levelupbooks]

I could barely pay attention to the tut because I am in love with the production quality... YouTubers.LOL

[levixa]

Omg finnaly after watching 7 videos of drawstring bags ( literally I swear) this video Is the best and the easiest video...I was getting frustrated and was giving up when I saw this video!! Tysm!! Definitely gonna try this tomorrow!

[liltrooper]

Thanks so much. This tutorial is perfect because I have a heart shaped rose quartz stone that I want to make a little bag for and give to my boyfriend.

[NicJohnson]

I know this video is pretty old, but I just wanted to say thanks. You're presentation and production were top notch. I really really enjoyed it. Great work and keep on keeping on.

[amym]

Thank you! I wanted a simple explanation of how to make the drawstring part. Every pattern I found was from a quilter who over complicated "easy". Thank you for making it simple.

[Pomsbunny]

Best drawstring bag tutorial on YouTube imo. Thank you!

[HisandHersLA]

Must get crystals in my life. Then make these bags too! Lol

For downtown la I'd suggest visiting the Broad, the last book store, the ace (for a good city view/afternoon cocktail). Also everything in the arts district or little Tokyo 👌🏽

[xPUPPETEERxx]

Haha good to know I'm not the only one who names her crystals.

[shakingnails]

2 years later and I'm seeing this, and it looks so easy and I was looking for these kinds of bags but couldn't find it, didn't know I could make it myself!
