- CUT 2 pieces of fabric 14" x 15" inches
CUT 2 drawstrings 42" each
Drawstring bags are perfect for so many things - gifts, organizing, kids, travel. They're one of the simplest things you can sew. Perfect for beginners! And a great stash buster. Come make one (or a dozen) with me!
For a photo tutorial on several kinds of drawstring bags, check out my blog post here:

You are making sewing easy for all the people who just starting. Thanks
I was afraid that you didn’t do a tutorial for a drawstring bag because you’re my favorite person to follow when it comes to sewing, but then I realized that you did, and I was soooo happy!! Thank you so much!!
YAYYYY!!! An energetic, happy teacher who makes it FUN to learn!!!! So glad to have found you!! Inspired by you!!
Thank you for the enjoyable tutorial! I am a woodworker considering embarking into sewing. I wanted to know how to make a drawstring bag to hold a set of wooden dominoes and this is just what I was looking for. And you're right, drawstring bags can be perfect for so many situations and people DO love hand made gifts!
I made a whole bunch of these bags of different sizes with Christmas fabric to wrap family and friends gifts. My family knows to return the bags to me at the end of the festivities! My brother loves them so much that he requested a set for his family! It cuts down on wrapping time and on the garbage on Christmas morning for sure! Thank you for the tutorial!
Someone gifted me something like that bag many many years ago. I remember looking inside of that bag all the time while playing with toys that I kept in it, and I really loved how well made it was. I had to learn how to sew because of that bag. It was a draw string bag but it had a lining in it, and it had four zipper pockets on the inside through the lining, and then four more pockets on the outside of the bag. I had so much fun with that thing! But I did wear it out. And I'm learning myself how to install zipper pockets so I can make a bag like that one I loved when I was a kid.
Thanks for sharing that story, Tayohni! I love that. Have fun learning ❤️
I just made this bag and I love it!! This has to be the best drawstring bag tutorial because your directions are very clear and well-put! I even checked out your blog, which helped me add lining to the inside of my bag. I am so satisfied with the results and now I have a big enough bag to store all my makeup palettes, brushes, and tools to take on the go. Thank you so much!
Oh good! Thanks for sharing that Ashley! I'm so happy to hear that! Have fun sewing more bags :) Dana
Finally, someone whose voice isn't annoying and gives plenty of info without having to sound so stuck-up or rude! Your tutorial was so great!
Thank you. Ive just made one of these to put my Nurses scrubs uniform in after work. I can pop my uniform directly into the was from this bag which is great during this Coronavirus pandemic.
Just made a couple for my girls. Thank you for making these tutorials. You do a great job teaching with simple and encouraging instructions. So thankful!
Made one! I feel like a genius, lol Thank you for making it "sew" easy!

I wanted to make my own small bag for my dnd dice and this was the PERFECT tutorial! 10/10 👍🏻
You really helped me totally make this bag for our Rummikub game pieces. The box bottom works particularly well. The players appreciated it so much. Thank you so much!
I’m a beginner sewer an I’m hooked on making these bags. Made one yesterday. Then 2 Birthday bags today
Thank you so much. Wish I could show a picture.
Oh good! Awesome!
Love it! Wonderful tutorial! I'm a beginner sewer and I got the hang of this fast.
I’m ten and I love sewing but I’m new to it and not sure about somethings and I’m just making scrunchies because they are easy my mum and I are looking for something I can do as a starter and will be fun to make and your videos are so easy to understand and there’s not music and we can hear you speaking which makes it easier!! Btw I love your channel!!
I just used this pattern to make a bag for my pegs! I am very much a novice. but had no trouble. Thank you for taking the time to share your creativity with others. Now that we are at home in isolation, there is the time to make bigger ones to use for Christmas presents instead of wrapping paper. Thanks!
Your videos are my favorite! You show details where so many don’t. I love your videos!
I love the way.. You taught us. I AM SMILING ALL THE TIME WHEN YOU SPEAK ... Love from india 😊
Awesome video! I love your energy. Thank you for the lesson. It was clear, easy to follow and fun to watch!
Thanks for the video. I had forgotten everything I learned in 8th grade sewing class, and I never learned the drawstring thing. My girlfriend and I on our way to some gift sewing for Christmas.
I haven't sewn in years, and I made my first bag tonight. What a great project to get back into sewing... Thanks!
Awesome! That makes me happy to hear :) Dana
Dana makes it sew easy..I've never sewn a thing in my life til now. The pillow making tutorial and this draw string bag tutorial were simple and fun!!!
Im going to make a dogtreat bag for my grandparents and my mum for when she babysits my sisters dog!! Thank u so much I come back to ur channel all the time ever since u taught me how to make my own scrunchies (I'm now selling them to my friends and hopefully soon Cornwall!) thank u
This was exactly what I needed, thank you! New to sewing and was able to sew a small coin pouch with your tutorial. Loved it!
I have always made them, but incorrectly! Your pocket idea is perfect! Thank you so much!!
I need to make some of these For shoes! Great to keep them away from clothes in a suitcase. Thanks for the idea!
Yes! They're great for that.
MADE Everyday I am 11 and I love to sew and ur the best but can u upload more I know u have kids but do u think u can upload 2 or 3 times a month thx ~ One of u Biggest fan
Your energy , fabric and projects inspire me! Thank you
To remember the one inch gaps, you could just use a different color pin also! Just a little tip! Ilysm!!
I like to use safety pins where the gaps are, so I don't sew there :)
I use 2 pins in one spot, another tip (:
I sewed together a cotton print with denim on the bottom, then followed your instructions. I had saved the jean legs from cutoff shorts. Thank you for giving me my "aha" moment for cut off pant legs, lol 💕.
OMG it took less than 20 minutes. AND it looks crisp and professional. THANK YOU!!!
Awesome! Yay!!
I have seen a lot of tutorials on this and yours is hands down better and easier. Thanks so much for all the great tutorials you share.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing :) Dana
Bags work GUUURRRRREEEAAAATTT!!!!! Fell onto your splendid vid after shopping in a chain sporting goods chain and disappointed to find one of your type bags for less than I would pay, and imported. Perfect size for gym soap/shampoo/incidental stuff. Choosing my own size and a little help from your vid, made a couple and then some for gifts, acceptable. Thanks a whole bunch and a bunch again!
Thank you so much-Best drawstring bag video- very easy.
Just love how well you demonstrate and explain your projects. I just followed this one but used a logo’d school t-shirt that didn’t fit my kids. Now they argue about who gets to use their school logo drawstring bag! I added beads to the end of the drawstrings to jazz it up a touch.
Awesome! That's a fun idea! And thanks for the sweet words :) Looks like you'll have to make another bag now! Dana
Love, love, love this tutorial! I come back to it every December to make gift bags. Best design for a gift bag I've found: easy to do, very well explained, and produces a great looking bag! Thank you!
I can't wait to make one for collecting seashells and little stones when I get out again
Ooo that's a fun idea! I might have to do that also!
hi.omg these are really easy to make. i want to sew some for my son to put toys in.like lego an puzzles.so many uses.i never saw a machine like that. i love it so much.
Your the only person that I understand when it comes to sewing
i personaly think that a homemade gift have more love in it than something that u buy in a store.
just finished making a bag from your tutorial..just excellent! you're AWESOME! thank you!
Like most of your viewers, I LOVE your tutorials!! Thank you so much. I'm going to make these to put quilt and baby blanket gifts in for my clients .
ooo perfect gift idea! Love it! :) Dana
Thank you for making such simple videos with clear instructions. I recently got bitten by the sewing bug and all of my projects are small gift ideas. What a great way to start spring. Thank you once again.
Awesome! I'm so happy you've gotten into sewing. It's a fun adventure! Thanks for chiming and for the sweet comment :) Dana
Dana you are just so extremely up beat and I love watching your tutorials. Super insightful and very easy to follow. You are the best. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. I look forward to watching them.
I haven't the first clue as how to use a sewing machine; I have one, but it's sits unused right now. So, I'm probably on too advanced of a channel for me, but you're bubbly and entertaining, so I'm gonna subscribe!
Haha. Thanks! If you want to get into sewing, here's my Sewing 101 video: czcams.com/video/MRE4TABLswU/video.html
Thank you so much! Thanks to you I have made my first bag and in my case it's a hallowe'en bag for my little grand daughter and I could not have done it without your easy to follow instructions!!! :)
I'm glad it was helpful! Congrats on your first bag. 😊
If you want a picture of it, just let me know.
I'd love to see! You can send it to me at madeeverydaywithdana@gmail.com 😊
I love all your videos! I do my projects by hand so they're so cute and easy!!
Excellent. This lady knows her stuff!
Our church quilters makes these bags and the Youth Group fills them with a cake mix, frosting, candles, paper plates and a small gift. These “Birthday Bags” are distributed to families at a local food shelf. We have made 80-100 bags the past two years and are starting on this years supply. So easy to make and with the donated fabric we received they are very inexpensive also.
Oh my goodness that is the coolest project! I want to do that with our youth group. Thanks for sharing! - Dana
I just found your videos recently and I'm loving them absolutely! like simple bright staging, love your simplicity in projects and your personality! Incomplicated and really motivates me to get sewing and get giving! Please keep them coming!
Thank you for amazing tutorials. You are very good teacher.
I made a drawstring bag for my 18 month old granddaughter for her alphabet toys as soon as I was done watching. She loves it! She out all her alphabets in as soon as I got there.
I love your videos at 59 I made my first dress and bag. ❤️
Oh that makes me so happy to hear! Good job Chris! :) - Dana

Thank you for such a clever easy sewing project, I was looking for a sewing project for my 9 year old Grandaughter to sew.👍🙂
This tutorial was the best! So easy to understand and I love the box bottom. Plus I feel like an expert ! I am going to look at your website to see if I can make anything else that might be remotely needed at my house.
Awesome. Yay!
Thank you! I've been looking for a tutorial for knitting project bags, with boxed corners.
This was so great! I actually made one myself and this video was so easy to follow :)
don’t you mean “sew” great?
I just made mine...excitinggggg
Thanks for the tutorial🤗
made 12 today in different sizes ! Love them ! First i had the torturial from Melly Sews but this is much easier and quick finish. Thank you Dana ! :-)
12 is a lot in one day, wow! I'm glad it was helpful 😊
Just finished twelve bags for our super activity for Activity Day for Girls this Wednesday...thanks for sharing. Side note I used bias tape for the drawstring that I learned how to make from your bias tape video.
I have made lots of these bags! love your videos they make it so fun to learn! I have watched soo many videos on how to sew drawstring bags and yours is the best! also loved your video on how to make and sew bias tape now i use it every day! Iam a huge fan! I even have a youtube playlist of all your sewing videos!
I would love more tutorials for women. I use a rotary cutter that has a pinking shear edge. I love it + it is beautiful for the edges on the tutus that I make!
oh my gosh I have made several of these in the let couple of days. I love your videos. I am addicted to making bias tape. you're absolutely amazing.
I get excited everytime I see that you posted a new video!!!! It would be AWESOME that you upload new videos more often :)
Lessia Aburto I agree! I look forward to her videos.

Lessia Aburto being that she has kids I would imagine that the time she uses to make the videos are her free times and it awesome that she can even take her time out to do that. Humans are never just happy with the little bit we always have to ask for more
Awesome
Very helpful tutorial. Thank you!
Thanks,happt mothers day,2021,great ideas,keep the faith!!!!!!
I make loads of these bags! I often do French seams to give a finished edge inside if there is no lining. I also prefer the cut out squares on the bottom of the bag instead of the triangles to box it, as you see the seams for matching easier! Thanks Dana.
Yes that's a great way to make them too! I've done both methods and can never decide which way I like better :) Thanks for watching! Dana
Love your fabrics and tutorials!! Thank you🌷
I really love your videos! You are to the point, you speak clearly in understandable terms. I would love to see more! (I've already watched about every video you have.Thank you!

So cute! I'm excited to make these for my 4yo who always seems to need more organization for her things. (and how fab does your hair look? LOVE it.)
