Drawstring bag

Drawstring bag

Use a reversible fabric or line the cuff. The bag can be any size; the diagrams show the dimensions of the sample in the photo.
1. Cut a round piece for the bottom of the bag. Cut 2 rectangles for the body of the bag, making the width of each approximately equal to the circumference of the bottom. Sew the sides together as shown: clip the seam allowance at the bottom of the casing, leave the seams open in the casing area, and sew with the wrong sides together for the cuff area.





2. Turn the body right side out, fold down the cuff, and stitch the casing. Gather the bottom edge.


3. Sew the body onto the bottom.


4. Turn the bag right side out. Beginning at one side seam, thread a drawstring through the casing to the opposite side seam, then back to the starting side seam. Repeat with a second drawstring, inserting it first at the opposite side seam.
