Beginners Sewing: DIY Drawstring Pouches

I love how simple and dainty these drawstring pouches are. You can make them at any size and they can be used for anything. If you have a lot of fabric scraps lying around, this would be a great sewing project to do. Also, if you’re new to sewing, Dainty Diaries tutorial on YouTube is beginner-friendly. All you need is 6 items that you probably have around your house if you sew. I love the style of drawstring pouches because it looks nice and fancy. Plus, these drawstring pouches can look simple or fancy depending on what fabric and twine you use. This style of pouches is practical, and I would make small ones to store my jewelry when I travel.

Materials:

• fabric scraps
• scissors
• safety pin
• thread
• twine
• sewing machine

Directions:

First, iron your fabric so you can take out any creases. Fold the right side together and take a piece of fabric on top and iron it down. Stitch the two sides together and iron out the seams for a polished finish.

Next, continue to watch Dainty Diaries tutorial on YouTube to finish sewing the pouch. Attach the cord to a safety pin and funnel through the fabric hole. This will make the process much easier to pull through.

Overall, I love the style of these pouches. They can be little gift bags to give. I love how concise the instructions are and the quality of the video was clear. I know this type of bag is useful and reusable in many ways that my friends would love. I would love to make this drawstring bag because it doesn’t require many steps. Also, I’m not that great at sewing, but this sewing project doesn’t take up a lot of time.
