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.
