    I love this technique for drawstring bags. It is the easiest, fastest, I nicest looking drawstring bag. I'm a stickler for things looking as nice on the inside as on the outside and like a finished non-visible seam and this fits the bill to a T. It's great! Thank you Vanessa!

    Vanessa, love making these bags, made mine smaller using 4 strips, and a little shorter, 18 “, I’m using them for thanksgiving, a gift bag for the table scape, everyone gets a homemade phone pillow by ‘so very easy’, and it worked out perfect, used coral bells fabric, very earthy colored fabric that match the placemats by ‘Missouri quilt co’, I love your videos, keep them coming, thanks Mercy G.

    Thanks for this tutorial! I made a bag to hold my folded, fabric Christmas ball that I had made. It was the only gift at my Cut Throat Christmas party for Bunco, that was stolen three times!

  • @CherryBlossomHill
    @CherryBlossomHill Před 2 lety

    This is such a great idea, so much better than wrapping paper! Your instructions made it easy to see how to adapt this for a larger size, a version without strips, or one with a wider ruffle on top, you could add pockets to the outside or inside, you could even use iron on vinyl to make it water proof, these are so eco friendly, I’ve been wanting to make something like this for storage and organizing, laundry, dry cleaning trips etc., thank you so much! It would be super cute to sew these with ticking fabric (or toweling fabric with ticking stripes) and appliqué or embroider something along the bottom or in the center to personalize it.

    I made your bag, and several things for a dear friend of mine. She loves fall, so along with this I sent microwave bowl cozies, table runner, pot holders...She misunderstood my explanations, and used this to reheat her mac and cheese. I use all natural thread and fabric, so no fear there!
