Perfect! I love the way you quickly described every aspect of this bag making. You covered all the information without a lot of filler. That makes this video a keeper in my saved videos to come back to again and again.
I watch this every time I need a quick gift and I want to use something reusable for wrapping. It’s my favorite drawstring bag pattern, so easy and adaptable.
Another great tutorial from you as always, straight to the point, clear and concise. After watching way too many draw string bag tutorials I can categorically say, this is the best. Many thanks xx
I love how after you marked the inside for the ribbon channel that you suggested turning right side out and sewing from the inside. I found that so much easier.
Thank you for the simply, EASY and fast tutorial. Before I found your tutorial it took me over an hour to make one bag, now we're under 30 mins. Appreciate your hard work!
Just commenting since this is my annual return to this video to remember how to make these 😅 I love this tutorial so much and have made many of these bags; they turn out beautifully every time ❤
I made some super cute drawstring bags with Denim and lace and lined with fleece for my Mason jar Salad lunches! Pint and quart size! I love, love, love ❤️ 😍 your channel you are my mentor and you have many great tips. Because of you. I happily sew with a 😃 smile! Don't ever stop your tutorials! Thank you!
I love the fact that this could be used for Christmas gifts over and over again. My mother is very picky about the color of paper under her tree and every year I have a hard time searching for the specific colors. This would help!!!
Found this video a while ago and have watched it multiple times. I've used it many times to refresh the steps. I made one today for a father's day gift. Thanks again!
So cute!! And easy. Now I am more confident I will have adorable and special way to present our homemade presents this year. Why do the other instructors make it so difficult. Lordy, what on earth would I do without you?? Thank you!!
Thank you SO much for this! It's about the third tutorial I've tried to follow and the only one that's worked perfectly. I've made a lovely large version for all the toys my dogs have. I'm super proud of it, all thanks to your informative and clear video.
Excellent job on the tutorial! You don't waste words...which I love...and yet you give us all the information that we need to create a pouch. I wish I had found this video before I destroyed some very expensive fabric...but my next attempt will, I'm sure, be a success, thanks to this video!
I just made my first bag watching your tutorial as I went thru the steps. You are so clear and video quality is perfect. I love your teaching style. You made it look easy and didn't add a lot of confusing steps and chatter. I made a large bag to hold a gift.... It looks more like a drawstring pillowcase, but I love how it turned out. Thank you for your teaching video!
Wow!!! Your video and tutorial for a drawstring bag, lined, is soooooo Easy!!! I’ve been looking all over for an easy tutorial I can actually do and I finally found it!! Thank you sooo much! I’m so excited to make a few bags today with my ever growing scraps!!
Thank you! I’ve looked at so many tutorials for string bags and just couldn’t understand them but this one was great. Couldn’t unpick the seam for the last bit so had to cut it so may just leave that open next time. Thanks again 😊
Thanks for the tutorial...I changed the instruction slightly and sewed the lining and fronts together then made a long sausage, marked the casing line before stitching....left opening for turning, and also left a gap at the casing mark each side for the ribbon etc.....
I made something similar a few years ago to hold a bottle of wine for a family member. I’ve watched that bag get regifted to several different family members.
Thank you for an EXCELLENT "how to" video. Complete, concise and focused. We didn't have to hear the story about the rude girl in the fabric store, we didn't have to meet your cat, we didn't have to hear you yelling at your kids, we didn't have to wait while you fixed a bobbin jam, no "uh", "OK lemme try that again", "where did I put my....", "did you guys see that squirrel?". Exactly what I needed for my project in just over 6 minutes. Thank you again!
Thank you Whitney-I am going to use your round bottom drawstring bag pattern and combine it with your above video as I would like the drawstring pull 2" down from the top. Thank you so much for the free patterns and videos.
Perfect agreed! I’ve been making bags for years and I do it some what differently. I looked up new ways today because I have a thick fabric that my way would not work. I believe your way is better and thank you! ✨💖✨
Thank you for this. I've also watched your video for the round bottomed bag and I'm going to use both tutorials to make myself a little bag for a works Christmas Dinner 😊
Great video and very clever construction! You had me stumped on how you were going to be able to insert the drawstrings until you pulled out the teeny scissors to rip out the seam! TFS. Subbed you. 🤗
Thanks so much, I'm not at all confident about plain sewing and haven't used my sewing machine in many years, however my Santa sack with the patch I embroidered is looking great. Took me a lot longer than 30 min as I had to keep checking and re watching but so worth it! Definitely I wouldn't have been able to produce a lined bag without this.
So Cute Whitney!Can't wait to make a ton of these for holding Christmas gifts,especially Yankee Candles and my home made cranberry sauces for Christmas dinner.
I'm so glad you liked it!I have several other drawstring and tote bag tutorials on my channel if you are interested in other styles. You can search Whitney Sews drawstring bag on RUclips to find them.
Just finished my bag, thank you so much! Perfect for my 'Tarot and Tea' white elephant gift -- lovely little tea set in this delightful bag that comes with a tarot reading. Thank you again!
Thank you so much Whitney. This is perfect. Very detailed and helpful when creating my drawstring bags. The ones I make will be small, and for use with art supplies.
I love this! Thank you! I wanted to use my layer cake Halloween material so I took an inch off of width and length. 10”x 6.5”. I’m putting little toys and candy in them for my grandkids and great nieces! Perfect!
So excited to make these!! I could easily get addicted, and make a bunch! Seems really simple, and the final product looks so clean and professional! Love the idea of using them to wrap something DIY in a jar... the bag is so nice, it's part of the gift! Thanks for the tutorial! :)
This is my absolute favorite draw string bag tutorial!!! I love how easy you made it look, finally something I can do!!! Thanks so much for sharing! :)
These are awesome! Quick and easy to make - my kind of project!!! I think those are the smallest scissors that I have ever seen! Lol. Thanks. Hugs🤗💜🤗 Happy Week💜💜💜
I got the scissors in a sewing subscription box I was sent. At first I had a hard time using them because I have very long fingers. But once I got used to them I really started liking them for thread snipping and small details.
I've made several of them for my ggs's for their hot wheel cars and such.I and they and their parents love them.I usuall use fabric that pertains to what i'm making them for,ie,car fabric for car holder bags,etc.
Great video, Whitney.... Great for kids rooms for small toys or wherever else you need one.... Just seen tutorial where Handmade by Ditsy-Tulip made a drawstring bag too, but Mel (she) put on a picture frame hook (triangle or D shaped hanger hook) on top of bag above drawstring to hang on wall.... Thought that was terrific idea & you having 2 daughters might like the idea yourself...
Love this idea for gift giving. Thank you for the idea, I am going to make up a couple for the coffee gifts we are giving this year. Great video, as always.
Perfect! I love the way you quickly described every aspect of this bag making. You covered all the information without a lot of filler. That makes this video a keeper in my saved videos to come back to again and again.
Whitney - I watched 5 different "how to" drawstring bag tutorials. Yours was the most clear and best edited. Good for you and thanks!
😊
Clear, concise and right to the point... thank you Whitney!

This helped me make a dice bag for my sister's D&D dice for Christmas! I was confused as to how to do the drawstring but this helped a lot. Thank you!
I am here for this exact purpose holy heck
Great video. I just completed my bag. Video had just enough video, no too much talk but easily explained and photographed well
I know this is an old post(video), but I find your bags prettier and easier to sew. I'm actually sewing these bags now for Christmas 🎄. #year2021

Such clear ìnstructions and easy technique without having to watch in real time 👏👏👏
Only my second creation! Quite easy to follow. Learned a lot doing it and would definitely make it again.
