Thanks Ali, I've been looking for small projects to start sewing on my new machine . I'm getting back into machine sewing after a break. I've always hand sewn. I managed to follow your instructions and have made my first little bag. ❤
Absolutely love watching you make your bags! I teach sewing craft classes. I am always embarrassed about my frequent mistakes. And, so many of my students feel that they must have perfection or nothing at all. (Many middle-high schools required sewing in the 1940's to '80's
Texas, USA, here. Adorable bag! In love with that yellow fabric, wish I could find it here. Thanks for sharing, friend across the pond. STOP! To anyone who is making this bag using fabric with a pattern going one-way. Remember to cut out front & back of purse AND lining individually...going one way...not on the fold like I did. God bless.
Love to use or include a drawstring bag with gifts. Especially, small toys that won't be going back into the original packaging like Legos, plastic dinosaurs, Barbie clothes, etc. I even repurposed a paint splatter jeans into gift bags for mini nail polish bottles, toe separater and buffer.
I just finished my first drawstring bag following your tutorial. I thought I had memorized your instructions and sadly, I sewed the drawstring tabs to the middle between bag and lining. Ripped it all out and sewed again. Success! You are a wizard.
So cute. So easy. I love these types of projects because I am not a professional and need to find the easiest way to do a project. Many thanks for sharing!
Goodmorning so glad to see you again this morning love your new bag. I think I would of used the pocket on the jeans some how. Your bags turned out wonderful. You explain how to sew it very well. Thank you ♡ Dori
Yes! Me too! ... Sew it right to the front outside main bag piece ... A little square patch can be sewn to the pocket first to give it a little whimsical "home-y patchwork" feel🌸
Just lovely!!!!! ... Please consider sewing with an "Open Toe" presser foot, it opens up the center of the foot to a wider view and allows for even more access to create seams really super close to the edges on both, the left & right sides of your sewing area amaZingly well 😊 ✂
Ive struggled to make bags in the past but your video is so straight forward and goes at a pace I can keep up with, Iam going to have another go, thank you so much.
I absolutely adore these bags! I'm actually going to stop knitting and go make one real quick. You've explained everything perfectly and I thank you so very much!
Such a nice video to watch on my very last day of the summer holiday 🥰 While folding clothes ☺️👍 Now I just want to spend the rest of the day sewing cute, little bags 😆
This is a great drawstring bag. You do such a great job of explaining every step and give some very helpful hints. Hope you and your family are safe. Thank you.
Hi, i thank It is not too late to find your channel that I missed before , I found it is so useful. not only your demonstrations are so precisely, but also you really take care of the beginnings . I’m so impressed for everything you showed like how to put inside the strings around the pocket. Anyway I m very grateful to you for sharing !!
Great tutorial! I have several pairs of jeans that have holes worn through them. Great way to reuse them. Plus, I have four kids who wear out (especially the boys) clothing all the time.
Early morning watching and I truly loved this new tutorial! Free weekend ahead so I can see myself having a go at making some! Very clear, practical and down to earth tips, all exactly what I appreciate! Many grateful thanks from North Yorkshire 🐾🤗☕️🧵
Thank you 4 the tutorial! You keep saying is not perfect, but it looks very neat to me! Did I mention cute? Super cute. We have 35 degrees C down here in Texas and they are the humid ones. Thank God for the bright idea of the AC inventor! We would have been melted like wax by now. :))
So cute!! I have some pretty fabric left from making masks that will be perfect for this. I’m going to make this dodgy bag to keep my dishcloth cotton in to carry around. Thanks so much Ali!!! 🧶💕🧶. I use the waistband and pockets of old jeans as a garden apron.
Great tutorial and your directions are so easy to follow Ali. As soon as I have recovered from my total hip replacement (9th June) I hope to watch the tutorial again and make a couple to use for project bags. Take care Ali xxx
Just lovely Allie! Thanks so much for sharing your talents at the sewing machine. I’m so glad that there is someone else out there that can’t be bothered with the “little oops-es” that happen in sewing! Gives me new confidence. Also, thanks for all the time and effort that you put into these tutorials….I know that there’s a boat load of off-screen work that goes into all of it!
Love the bags, Ali. That yellow fabric is gorgeous. And I like the neat fabric cord ends. I have some rope for drawstrings that unravels easily and this would be a good way to finish it off.
That was really good Ali , just finished making the bag and it’s just so cute and you keep everything nice and easy to follow , I love that , thankyou so much for sharing , you are a star ⭐️ !!!
Those are just darling!! I have yet to make a drawstring bag but this looks doable for me and will give it a go (as you Brits say) Thanks for your transparency in showing your problem areas and what you did to fix them. My fave is the green/pink...love the color and pattern. It's hot here also....I live on the CA, USA desert and summer is truly here for the next 4 months. Tfs
Awesome Tutorial! I have made two bags and think they are lovely thank you so much Ali for your time and on such a hot day in England. You would love it here in New Zealand at the moment in the middle of winter! But affaid to say it’s not that cold so far this year!
Love the tutorial. You are my kind of sewist. You almost make me want to get a machine and sew again. Almost. I will argue with the most annoying dog in the world title. We have a young dachsund who lives next door. He barks at everything and will not shut up! I spray him with a spray bottle. (with the owner's permission) but it doesn't truly shut him up.
Loving your bag tutorials . I made a bag yesterday on your How to make a drawstring bag . I will share it on my next video . I crochet and just started knitting last year . Get better every day ❤ Thank you for the inspiration 💕
i did the old fashion tacking when the bag needs sewing all round the top edge and then can use my walking foot and not have to keep stopping to remove pins. Made two one for gift for my next door neighbours' daughter and one for my daughter going to make one for me now and for my best friend. So easy
OMGosh...lol you cracked me up with your "Meh" Attitude!!🤣 Loved your way of teaching! ( dont be so hard on yourself) Have fun!! Thank you for your time and sharing !
Perfect !!! Loved it !Ali,,,,, Use UR tutorials all the time,,, Will give this one a go,,,,Might be slower,,my machine is not working at the moment,,, So by hand it is,,,Have some sweet yoyos made and shall use a few of those to decorate the bag,,, Thanks so much again,,,, Elaine 🏡🏡🏡
if you draw your pattern on freezer paper then you can simply iron the freezer paper to your material. and cut it out. works great! can be used over and over again.
Love it! Thank you, Ali!! The denim bag is so cute. I've come into a bunch of random top sheets and was thinking I'd keep them to make some bags. Cross all your digits for me 🤣

21 hours later I've made my first bag, it's fantastic, I'm so proud of it. I hand sewed it and you can't tell, yay👍
This is so wonderful! Yay! 😘 xxx
Congratulations, Helen! That’s great! You gave me courage to try, too!

Awesome, love your style of making things. So down to earth, so my style. Not too much fuss, great result
Love the yellow one.
Thanks Ali. Very kind I use your drawstring and zip bag tutorials every time, so now there’s another bag to my library.😂
Thanks Ali. You are so talented.
I just finished my first drawstring bag following your tutorial. I thought I had memorized your instructions and sadly, I sewed the drawstring tabs to the middle between bag and lining. Ripped it all out and sewed again. Success! You are a wizard.
Yay! I do stuff like that ALL the time! 😄 Easy to rip out and start again though, so glad it worked out for you 😘
Thank you, I have used this tutorial to teach my son basic sewing & to make me 6 new project bags if different sizes!

Thanks for the templates. If I ever dig out my sewing machine I might make some denim bags.

Just thought younwere wonderful, and funny. Thank you..
Lovely tutorial! Thank you, Ali! I've just finished making 2 and have the fabric all ready for a 3rd :)
Good job. It inspires me to look in my bins of fabric to see if I have any jeans.
Great tutorial, as usual. Couple of things, you can get that fluffy interfacing in the U.K. & you can zigzag bits together to make larger pieces.
Great advice thank you Gerry! ❤️
I love your personality! This was fun and well done, thank you! :)
