Step 2

Next, fold it in half with the right sides together. (You can pin it to hold it in place.) Take it to the sewing machine and sew both sides, leaving the portion for the drawstrings open. After sewing, turn the bag right side out. Next, attach a large safety pin to one end of the ribbon, then go ahead and thread it to the drawstring. After this, pull the ribbon and tie both ends in a regular knot. Your drawstring bag is now finished.

Since I lover experiments, I’ve alwaysnloved to create, paint, as well as cook and style food. I feel in love with DIY as soon as I discovered it and could not have been more excited when I learned I could share projects with people around the world. Taking photos is a passion of mine, as is design and painting with oils. I love holidays and celebrations, crafting cute little gifts and serving up at least one new recipe I am excited about.
