Drawstring bag tutorial

This is really cheap, quick and easy to make. It has many uses, storing children's toys, jewellery, phones, chargers etc. You can make it look super pretty by choosing a patterned fabric or decorating it with appliqué shapes.

Step 1: cut a rectangular piece of fabric to the size you want, I did about 40cm by 25cm.

Step 2: fold the top 3cm over and pin or tack it.

Step 3: sew a straight line of straight stich close to your pins, make sure you don't run over your pins and take them out as you go along.
Step 4: when it's still wrong side up sew along the bottom edge and the open side.
Step 5: turn the right way round.
Step 6: thread some ribbon, cord or yard through the top channel, you may want to use a blunt needle  to make it easier. Tie a knot or a bow at the end.
