Easy Square Japanese Komebukuro Bag
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2024
- Based on a traditional Japanese Rice Bag, or Komebukuro, this beautiful drawstring bag is made from simple squares and has an easy drawstring closure.
Stitch it up from your favourite fabrics in a size to suit your needs, the Japanese Rice Bag will hold a surprising amount of stuff, even when made from 15cm squares.
Make it patchwork, add a funky lining, or even pad it out with quilt wadding to make a sturdy everyday bag with extra long drawstrings that double up as shoulder straps.
The drawstring Komebukuro can make a great alternative to a traditional Christmas Stocking when sewn from festive fabrics so it's an easy way to start your DIY Christmas preparations. Why not wrap all your Christmas presents in a drawstring bag this year to give two gifts in one?
Corinne shows you the simple steps, along with tips and tricks to make your sewing easier. This Japanese Komebukuro Drawstring Bag is the perfect first project for a novice stitcher as it's all just straight line sewing.

Just a heads up, when we uploaded this we forgot to turn off the side camera audio track, and then we had a few days off! By the time we realised over 1,000 of you lovely people had watched it so rather than delete it and start again we though we'd let it lie. Can't be perfect all the time eh? c x
I love this explanation, your channel is wonderful, side camera audio, lovely human mistakes, & the security to let it lie and ALL. 💘
I thought it was my craft angel guiding me!
So glad you show an alternative way to sew the box shape...with the corners, whiich can be a stumbling block. Like your no nonsense approach. Heartening!
Thank you, c x
I like the way you sewed the 5 sides into a cross first; easier than other methods I've seen. If you have a lot of layer cake/10" squares around, this would be a good way to use them, for a nice size lunch-tote.
Yes, I first made this bag with a pack of sample squares that I didn't know what else to do with! c x
I absolutely LOVE the Japanese rice bag. Have a couple. With rice & beans,( still in their original bags) in them. Gotta make more, for potatoes & onions. My food closet almost looks cute 🤗
Great idea, I have a crocheted tote for my bread that hangs on the cupboard just to make the kitchen look pretty! c x
You explain each project in detail easy to follow.
I like the bag. Nice for a gift bag.
Very nice !!💖Thank you for sharing.
I love the way you make the job seem so easy and quick. I will try one of these bags soon. Thanks.
They don't take long, I always find I spend more time choosing my fabrics! c x
Such a cute little bag! Thanks for a great video.
What a cute bag! Thanks for sharing ... 💕
Such a great bag! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks so much for the demo! It was great.
The audio didnt detract from your well explained video at all, would love to see your fabric stash 🤣 you had me at Japanese 😁
Glad it didn't cause too much of an issue, I could've kicked myself when I heard it for myself while having a few days off! My fabric stash has kind of taken over my whole home, I can't bear to see good material go to waste! c x
Loved it, thank you.
RUclips has a new time stamps feature that is handy and dead easy to set up for segmenting long videos like this. In the description field, you just insert 0:00 hello
1:24 assemble the outer
Etc.
Yes, I've seen this, it's something I need to think about but right now I don't seem the ever find the time 🤣 c x
Some weird double audio stuff happening when you switched to the side view. I do love those bags. I have made a couple of Japanese rice bags, though the tutorials I've seen before have had the drawstring channels on the straight sides rather than on the corners. I don't think you've ever done any sort of sashiko tutorial - I'd like to see your take on that - I have played with it a little, with upcycled denim and fabric scraps and embroidery thread. I had so much fun I even bought proper sashiko thread.
Yeah, stupid technical error when we uploaded! I've tried sashiko and was considering doing some kind of 'quick hacks' demo but my eyesight is so shot now I'm really slow at doing close hand stitching so the idea's been shelved, c x
I practiced with 5" cotton charm squares (one square per side) and shoe laces, perfect size for manicure and pedicure tools
Love the bag. What size squares did you use for the larger version, please?
From memory, each side was made of four 12cm/4.75" squares sewn with a 5mm seam allowance to make 23cm/9" panels, c x
Absolutely love this 🥰!! What size are the squares that created the panel for the larger bag that was shown in the beginning of this video?
From memory they were about 12cm or 5", c x
Totally not the way to make a proper drawstring closure. Use two strings exiting from opposite sides of the bag. Knot each of the pair as you did. Pull on each knotted end at the same time and it closes beautifully.
Thanks, the voice over was not an issue.
Oh good. Just sounded very weird! c x
What size are the squares used for the bag with the leather handles? I love it
What a great project! Thank you for sharing. Could you please provide the measurements in inches?
2.5 cm equals 1 inch
@@angiebaby3942 Thanks for the prompt answer to @Janet West, c x
Muito linda!
muito obrigado

Seems to be some audio issues.
Yes, didn't notice it till it was too late and now I'm loathe to delete it and reupload because the demo has had so many views in a short space of time. Still, gets people talking about it!!! c x
A problem with the sound in some places.
Yes, noticed that too late, was fine on the original edit! Hope it didn't spoil the demo too much, c x
First view 😍 ²⁹²¹
Should have done a bit of editing so as not to say oh forget putting the lining in for a minute...Nice idea and talent but video could be improved.
We deliberately keep my mistakes in, of which there are many 😁
I'd rather viewers realised that not everything goes right first time, especially if they're new to a craft. There is nothing more disheartening than not being able to perfectly recreate something yourself, c x
