I was needing a little gift bag to hold some note cards for a sweet friend who has been spending way too much time at the hospital and I thought a fabric drawstring pouch would be perfect.
I used a piece of fabric 6 1/2 inches by 21 inches, but it can be made any size!
Turn each end under 1/4 inch and stitch along the edge.
With right sides together stitch sides together using a 1/2 inch seam, stopping two inches from the top.
Pink edges and press side seams open. At the top where the side seam is open, stitch around the opening on each side.
Fold top edge down 1 inch and stitch all the way around close to the bottom edge.
Cut two pieces of ribbon or cording about 22″ long each. Feed one piece through casing and back out the other casing coming out on the same side of the bag.
Repeat with second cord on opposite side.
Tie the string ends on each side together. (You can hind the knots in the casing part if you work at it)
Fill the bag with some goodies and you have a nice little treat!
I made two of these tonight, thanks for such a great (and easy to follow) tutorial!
This is great. Just found this via pinterest and already made two. I printed out the tutorial to take to my machine but the text was very light and hard to see. Is there a way I could darken it myself? Thanks for the great directions.
Thank you so much our Acteens at church part of Mission are making drawstring bags for the ladies in Africa and this was a quick and easy project for them. Again Thanks.

Thanks so much for the drawstring bag directions..couldn’t wrap my brain around doing the top–and placing the ribbons thru. These were a request from my daughter who is having a 5yr birthday for her daughter. They’ve made clothespin faires with yarn hair, felt sparkle wings etc and had found miniture wood dishes. Thus the bag! Perfect instructions.. W
I made 20 birthday gift bags, and your directions were really helpful. Thank you!
It’s been years since I’ve sewn anything and this helped jog my memory. I made some bags to use as packaging for my wedding stationery samples. Thank you for the great tips!! 🙂
Perfect – just what I was looking for! Thanks so much!
I really like your tutorial & just added a link to this post on my blog.
