    I love this technique for drawstring bags. It is the easiest, fastest, I nicest looking drawstring bag. I'm a stickler for things looking as nice on the inside as on the outside and like a finished non-visible seam and this fits the bill to a T. It's great! Thank you Vanessa!

    I love you comment about it being ok if your sea allowance isn't accurate! Love patterns where that's assumed. Thanks for all of your tutorials

    Thank you Vanessa-I have fabric for my daughters wedding I was making masks....done with that so I will now make some of these cute bags. Also love your peg board decorations in the background! The Granny Squares are the best part. (crocheter at heart!) Trying sewing for a change and your videos have been so helpful.

    Vanessa, love making these bags, made mine smaller using 4 strips, and a little shorter, 18 “, I’m using them for thanksgiving, a gift bag for the table scape, everyone gets a homemade phone pillow by ‘so very easy’, and it worked out perfect, used coral bells fabric, very earthy colored fabric that match the placemats by ‘Missouri quilt co’, I love your videos, keep them coming, thanks Mercy G.

    So neat! I am totally going to make these for small knitting/crochet project bags. Or maybe even hand-sewing projects. Thanks Vanessa!

  • @CherryBlossomHill
    @CherryBlossomHill 2 роки тому

    This is such a great idea, so much better than wrapping paper! Your instructions made it easy to see how to adapt this for a larger size, a version without strips, or one with a wider ruffle on top, you could add pockets to the outside or inside, you could even use iron on vinyl to make it water proof, these are so eco friendly, I’ve been wanting to make something like this for storage and organizing, laundry, dry cleaning trips etc., thank you so much! It would be super cute to sew these with ticking fabric (or toweling fabric with ticking stripes) and appliqué or embroider something along the bottom or in the center to personalize it.

    are the little slots or openings or casings left raw when finished, is there a chance it will start raveling after its opened and closed over time or after washing, since that opening in the seam isn't finished?
