Making a drawstring bag is a simple yet rewarding sewing project that can be completed in just a few hours. Perfect for beginners, it requires minimal materials and basic sewing skills. Here’s how to create your very own drawstring bag.

Materials Needed:

• Fabric (cotton works well)
• Scissors
• Measuring tape
• Pins
• Sewing machine
• Thread that matches your fabric
• A safety pin (for threading the drawstring)

Instructions:

1. Cut the Fabric: Begin by measuring and cutting two rectangles of fabric. A common size is 30cm by 40cm, but you can adjust this depending on how large you want your bag to be.

2. Pin the Fabric: Place the two fabric rectangles with the right sides facing each other. Pin around the edges, leaving the top edge open. This will be the opening where the drawstring will go.

3. Sew the Sides: Using a sewing machine, sew along the pinned sides, approximately 1cm from the edge. Ensure to backstitch at the beginning and end to secure your seams.

4. Create the Casing: Fold down the top edge of the bag about 5cm and press it flat. This fold will create the casing for the drawstring. Pin it in place and sew along the bottom edge of the fold, leaving a gap of about 5cm on either side for the drawstring.

5. Turn the Bag: Turn the bag inside out so that the right side is now facing out and press it flat.

6. Insert the Drawstring: Attach a safety pin to one end of your drawstring (a length of cord or ribbon works perfectly) and thread it through the casing you’ve just created. Once you've threaded it through, remove the safety pin and knot the ends of the drawstring.

7. Finishing Touches: Give your bag a final press with the iron, ensuring it's neat and tidy.

And there you have it! You've created a lovely drawstring bag that’s perfect for storing anything from gym kit to craft supplies. Enjoy your new creation!
