Simple Drawstring Bag Sewing Tutorial

- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2025
- In this video tutorial I show you how to make a cute and simple drawstring bag using some fabric and ribbon. These little bags have thousands of uses! I use it as a bread bag when I am giving someone a fresh loaf of homemade bread. It can be used to keep your underwear in when you travel..... use it to store kids toys for car rides, make a smaller version of the bag for potpourri or sachets...etc.
Any beginner can make this drawstring bag and once you make a few you will see that you are going to come up with dozens of uses for them in your own house.

Thank you Crafty Gemini!! I just made 4 small drawstring bags in no time!! :)
Thank you for the draw string tutorial. I look forward to watching you other videos.
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I made a mini drawstring bag for my Dad today. He absolutely loved it. He told me that my grandmother used to make these bags too and said she would be really proud of me if she had been here to see it.. Thanks a lot.
We have a small group that meets Monday evenings at our church. We do ministries and this time we are making drawstring bags out of microfiber wash cloths with shoestrings for the drawstrings. We are filling them with such things as toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, wash cloth, fingernail clippers, etc. and we give them out to the homeless. I watched your video and loved the look of it. I am on my way to the fabric store to purchase items to make yours. Thank you for posting it.
Vanessa, You are a great instructor, I am 64 and have been sewing (Mending) for many years but your tutorials are wonderfu so I am going to try my hand a REAL sewing!..Thank you so much!
your speed, ingenuity and excellent tutes have inspired me to go out right now and buy a sewing machine! it'll have to be a handheld one as I travel extensively! Thanks Crafty Gemini
Very nice.
Clear explanation . No annoying music.
Pleasant voice.
Thank u so much
Thank you for sharing your simple, clearly explained instructions for a drawstring bag!
So glad I found your tutorial! I need to make a bunch of little drawstring bags for a carnival my daughter's preschool hosts. I knew it couldn't be that hard to sew, but for the life of me couldn't quite figure it all out. Your tutorial was very helpful! And I have subscribed. I look forward to checking out other projects of yours. I'm a novice sewer, but am ready to learn more so I can sew more.
I know this video appeared years ago, but it was such a help to me this week! I’m making crochet project bags for my daughter, and she loves them! Thanks for your clear instructions and generous sharing...much appreciated!
thank you so much! i actually learned how to make drawstring bags at home one day when i was bored and i had got my old dickie shorts and and had cut some rectangles from it and i sewed it all up and over time i made mine better.useful little bags i just had problems on how to do the drawstring write and now thank to you i ive perfected it thank you!
This was the best tutorial video I have seen on how to make a drawstring bag! I made a drawstring bag for the very first time!
I never took the time to figure out how to do a drawstring casing. Now I know. Thanks so much. I'll be checking your other stuff!
That is a very cool drawstring bag!! I just loved your tutorial!! Your voice was very "easy" to listen to and your directions couldn't of been made more simple!! Great job!!
Picked up Material yesterday and just finished my first one today. Love how it turned out. I am using these for lunch sacks for my boys. Much cheaper than the horrible soft lunch sacks you can buy and simple to make! For 6 dollars I was able to make four of these for my boys' lunch sacks for next year. I coupled this with your Snack sacks and the guys are excited to use these come this fall. Thanks for a great video and clear how to!
You have the best tutorials around. Easy to follow clear and concise. Thanks for your great work.
Sweet!! I just saw a project using little purchased muslin bags that you stamp a Christmas motif on, to hold cedar shavings, and didn't want to buy them when I could possibly make them. Your tute was the first one I looked at and its perfect! I never could figure out how to do the drawstring right, but your vid explains it perfectly! And such lovely fabric you used! Very pretty. Thank you so much for posting this. I'de also like to compliment you on your teaching. Best vid I've seen yet
Thanks so much for this video tutorial! I made one today - I uploaded a photo of it to the Flicker Group. I made mine big enough for an American Girl Doll to fit in-using the school uniform fabrics of the little girl the doll belongs to. I appliqued a chenille panda to a pocket - added that to the front of the bag. The school mascot is the panda. Can't wait to give it to her mom tomorrow so she'll have it in time for school to start next week. I also made her doll a school uniform and backpack.
I've sewn for many years, and I LOVE your tutorial! These are simple enough for children to follow the instructions. You are awesome!
I just got a sewing machine yesterday for Christmas and I made a bag this morning;) thank you so much!!
Thanks Vanessa. I need to sew my daughter a drawstring sheet bag tonight for kindy tomorrow and you made it very easy for me. Good on you. Di from Australia.
Just found you and I am so glad. My daughter is learning to sew and you are about to be a big part of that!
Miss V. I used this tutorial to make draw string bags for the foot pedals for my sewing mav
machine and my serger...love your work and Thank you!
Thank you for creating teaching videos that are clear and easy to follow! I'm ready to try to make my own drawstring bag.
Vanessa, thank you so much for explaining every detail so CLEARLY. Also, your photography was excellent...good lighting, you kept your hands out of the way of the camera, etc. etc. . Very good job. I've made a number of these bags now and everyone I've given them to LOVES them! Thanks again and God bless you.
This is a very good video. I know nothing about sewing at all and want a bigger draw string bag to keep my pretty 3ds safe. I figured I could ask my mother but had no idea how a bag like that could be made. After watching this video I now have a very good grasp of it. Many thanks.
Thank you so much! Simple and to the point! Really appreciate you taking time out to teach.
I saw several tutorials on making a drawstring bag, but this is the only one that makes sense to me. Thank you for simplifying. Can't wait to make now!!!
This is really good - I was trying to do a simple smaller bag for my asthma inhalers (yes I keep losing them!) and looked at books etc., but they weren't clear enough for a novice like me, it's much easier when you can see the work in progress! Thank you sooo much I am off to my sewing machine!
You remind me of the type of best friend I've always wanted! How fun it would be to have you living down the street from me! Love your videos! I just noticed this one is from 2010. I'll have to search out some newer ones! Thank you for all the awesome instructionals! Peace and Love to you and yours!
I like the way that you explain everything so clear. So easy to undesrstand.
Thank you so much for this easy to follow and darling bag. I have only been sewing for a few months and I am very happy with how this turned out!!
You give easy directions. Love to watch you.
thank you for your demonstrations, they have been most helpful for me . Now I can go ahead and attempt making my pot pourri bags.
Thanks so much! With your video I just completed my first sewing project!
This is going to be my first sewing project !! I am so excited. Thank u so much for such clear , no-fuss lessons.
Thanks for the great tutorial. I was afraid to try a drawstring but you make it look so simple. Cant wait to try it.
Thanks for the info above, this will help tremoundously already and brings me to the realization that i must slow down. Just anxious to "know it already" and create, make, embellish, etc.... You really do inspire and are truly awesome for offering such generous and helpful tutorials to us eager learners out here. Thanks kindly again and God Bless you, sweetie. :)
Thanks so much for the really simple instructions. This is so helpful for a non sew-er!
Just got a sewing machine for my 50th birthday! Watching your tutorials makes me feel excited to get started! Thank you!!
Happy birthday 🥳😘😘😘
your video is better than others when comes to how to put the string on both sides of the bag. thanks.
Great basic instructions! Very clear and detailed. Thanks!
You make learning fun. You are so detailed. I just like love watching your whip out all kinds of projects and always with a smile. And you garden. I'm looking forward to making the fabric boxes.... Keep up the awesome work!!!!!!!!

You are a real good teacher. You did a nice job on the video.
Thank you for this tutorial! I am making bags for the children in our daycare to hold their bedsheets and this has really helped me to know where to start and how quickly it can be done :)
Too cute! So simple and explained so well! Pretty material too!
Hello!
Just finished my drawstring bag an hour ago and i just wanna say Thank you! This tutorial is clear and precise, really helpful for me. I'm gonna sew a few more for my best friends for this year's little christmas gift exchange. Haha ^^ Thank you once again!
Thanks Vanessa for being so clear and easy to understand. If my larger laundry bag turns out excellent I'll try to download the picture to your site per your request.
Your tutorials are so great! I made several pillows after watching your pillow form tutorial. Thank you so much for posting these!
I'm a "wannabe" seamstress but I found your tutorial very easy to understand and follow. I'll be looking for more of your craft projects!
Fantastic tutorial, I often find these hard to follow, even though I know a little about sewing, and people have described their tutorial as 'simple', but not this one. It was clear and easy all the way through and I achieved exactly what I wanted. Thank you so much!
I'm excited to make this bag. My mom was a huge sewer and when she passed her away, her sewing machine has been collecting dust for the last 5 years. Tonight I cleaned it up and plan on using it next weekend to make some simple bags for Christmas gifts.
Great tutorial. I am a sewer but I can tell how helpful and patient you are with newcomers. Nice job. :)
Thanks! I'm making drawstring bags to use and reuse for wrapping Christmas presents. Cheaper and easier than wrapping paper!
Thank you for this great and easy tutorial! I volunteered to sew bags for my son's school, not knowing how to get started. This was absolutely perfect!!
SOOO EASY TO FOLLOW----LOVE YOUR TUTORIALS!!!!!
Great job! So clear and easy to understand. Thank you!
@shyanha That's why I do it. referring to it in more simpler terms that anyone can understand. When you say "right" side it can be confusing because "right" is also a direction, etc. I like to keep things super simple. Glad you enjoyed the vid. :o)
Gracias Vanesa! He aprendido mucho viéndote! Eres excelente explicando!!!
I did it as my first sewing project! Turned out great!!!
Love this tutorial also! Have told a few people about it and how easy it is to understand. I made four of these so far and, yes, I tried making bread with your tutorial, too, and it came out great!!! Thank you, again!
Thank you for this video that is clear and easy to follow! I'm ready to try this! I am so going to enjoy myself!
Go for it! Have fun!
This was an excellent demonstration, clear and easy to follow. Thank you so much and what a great idea to make and put homemade bread loaves in it! Just in time for the holidays!!
Thank you very easy to follow instructions. I made a bag for my mother.
Thank you for this tutorial. I have looked for a while for one that explains it simply. You have done it!
I appreciate this as you show it simply from beginning to end.
I love your tutorials Vanessa..simple and quick!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I am new to sewing and found this so well done and very easy to follow. You are a very talented lady and I so enjoy your tutorials. I have now made no less than six of these bags to put gifts in for the little ones in my life. A very big thank you from a very grateful wanna be crafter!
Perfect. I need to make a drawstring bag and this is just what I needed to do it. Thank you. :)
Great video , clear and easy instructions to follow .
This was a very good tutorial! Very easy to follow directions that didn't make you feel like an idiot. Awesome job!
My kid uses something similar to this as his 'backpack'....I'm totally making him one with fabric of his fave NFL team. Thanks! Your instructions are super simple. I'll make sure to post pics after I make it. :P
Thanks for the great vid! Been all over the web and yours is the best tutorial I've seen yet!
Hello from the UK! Excellent, easy to follow video. I’m new to sewing and have just made two little bags using your tutorial. Thank you :) x
I made this bag for my daughters dance cloths. I added two soft pockets on the front for her tap shoes! Thanks!
Making these with muslin then stamping trains on them for goodie bags to hand out at my son's birthday party. So cute!
Thanks for the video. You explain things so clearly.
This tutorial was great. Not too experienced in sewing, but this project was a breeze thanks to your wonderful instructions! (
Thank you....
Wonderful instructor... Learned a lot! Thank you and keep making videos.
I've just seen about 5 different drawstring bag tutorials and this is the clearest, best one I could find that helped everything click in my head about how this works. Thank you! :)
My dad wanted a little drawstring bag for his wallet, keys, checkbook and glasses case. he had taken my mom's razor travel case. I decided to make him one more masculine for father's day. Since I'm newish to sewing, I decided to make one out of some random fabric with those dimensions before trying anything else. my mom loves the bag and thinks I should make one for all my friends for Christmas
Great tutorial! These make great reusable gift bags!
Great instructions. I feel ready to start sewing!
Thank you very much. I made a bag for my shoes when traveling, but had a difficult time with the ribbon. Your video was very helpful. :-)
Thank you so much for this! Thanks to your video, I made one for my art class in high school. :D One step closer to a pass!
Thank you so much for this easy step by step tutorial. I'm now out of control! Lovely gifts for friends and family.
Even though I have sewn many types of projects for years I always enjoy learning different techniques and LOVE tips & tricks. You are a really good teacher and never skipped a step. I really did enjoy watching your tutorial and have subscribed so I can see more. Blessings to you and keep on teaching!
I just bought 5 different Crhistmas cottons to make 25 Advent Bags for my grand daughter. I will number them 1 thru 25 with transfer paper and fill them with a small gift which she can open each day through the advent season. This pattern will make a terrific bag for this purpose.
Nope. You can definitely use one piece folded up! Glad you found my channel... and congrats on the new machine. Yay! :o)
Oh thank you SO much. I just hand stitched a much-needed bag for my tarot cards. It was a lot cheaper and actually pretty fun to make :)
I actually just made one and I used one whole rectangular piece of fabric and it worked just fine...I can't believe I did it first time ever
This is really easy to understand, and I can't wait to try it out! Thank you!
Such cute fabric! I can't wait to make some of these!
Thanks for posting, your explanations are clear, great video.
Great video with crystal clear instructions! Good job :)
