Hey there, fellow crafters! I stumbled upon a quick and easy sewing tutorial that I just had to share with you. You can learn how to make a drawstring bag in only five minutes! That’s right - five minutes. So grab your sewing machine and let’s get started!
Step 1: Gather Supplies
First things first, you’ll need to gather your supplies. You’ll need fabric, a sewing machine, thread, scissors, pins, and a safety pin.
Step 2: Cut Fabric
Cut your fabric to the desired size for your bag. You can make it any size you like, but for this tutorial, we’re making a small bag. Cut two pieces of fabric that are 9 inches by 12 inches.
Step 3: Sew Sides and Bottom Together
Place your two pieces of fabric right sides together and sew the sides and bottom together. Use a 1/4 inch seam allowance.
Step 4: Create Hem for Drawstring
Press down the top of your fabric about 1/4 inch and then press it down again another 1/4 inch. You’ll want to create a hem for your drawstring.
Step 5: Sew Hem
Sew your hem in place, leaving about a 1/2 inch gap for the drawstring.
Step 6: Thread the Drawstring
Thread your drawstring through the hem you just created. Using a safety pin, attach it to one end of your drawstring and thread it through the gap in your hem.
Step 7: Tie Drawstring
Once your drawstring is threaded through, tie it in a knot to create your bag’s closure.
And there you have it - your very own drawstring bag that you made in only five minutes! This bag is perfect for small items like jewelry, craft supplies, or even as a gift bag.
I hope you find this tutorial helpful. Happy sewing!
