DIY Drawstring Bag / Easy Sewing Tutorial

In this video tutorial, I show how I use drawstring bags to package my handmade toys. For this project, I use unbleached cotton fabric, cotton twill ribbon, and matching sewing thread. Additionally, you'll need a sewing machine (I use the Singer Heavy Duty 4423), iron, safety pin, cutting mat, and rotary cutter.

I sew drawstring bags in two sizes: a larger one measuring approximately 9.5 inches wide by 10 inches long with a 2-inch depth, and a smaller one measuring approximately 7.25 inches wide by 7.75 inches long with a 1.75-inch depth. To make the larger bag, I cut rectangles measuring 11 inches wide by 13.5 inches long, and for the smaller one, I prepare fabric pieces measuring 8.5 inches wide by 11 inches long.

In this tutorial, I'll walk you through the entire sewing process. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them in the comments below.

* I make these bags without lining since they're primarily used as packing bags for my orders. However, to ensure a neat finish for the inner seams, I conceal the raw edges under the seam allowance. This technique allows me to achieve a clean interior look without the need for a lining.

Special thanks to the English Stamp Company ‪@englishstamp‬ for supplying me with label stamps, allowing me to brand each drawstring bag for my small business.

Thank you for watching!
