How to Make Cute Drawstring Hand Bags for Girls and Moms | Free Sewing Pattern | made by JOJO

A good bag for mother and daughter to carry together.

Pictures and Description

I made cute drawstring bags for my daughter and me.

The small bag has cotton drops.

It looks like a flower bud or a strawberry.

I also made a large bag for myself.

This is a bag for my daughter

(S) 22 x 21 x 5.5 cm  (8¾ x 8¼ x 2¼ in) 

(L) 32 x 28 x 8 cm (12½ x 11 x 3¼ in) 

Pattern

Only the small bag has a pattern.

It is a pattern for the outer fabric, the handle, and the decorative cotton drops.

You have to cut the lining yourself.

How to make

1. Fold a piece of fabric for the bag handle as much as the seam allowance, 

fold it in half again, and sew.

3. After stacking the interfacing and the bottom fabric, 

connect the body outer fabric.

4. Cut the interfacing seam allowance.

5. Sew the connected parts once more.

6. Fix the handles on both sides, put the lining up and sew the ends together.

7. The seam allowance open and fold the outer fabric together 

and the inner lining together.

8. Sew it, leaving a hole for the string and an opening.

9. Fold the bottom of the outer fabric and lining.

10. Sew the outer and lining bottoms together.

11. Turn it inside out and sew around the top of the bag.

12. Sew it around to make the part where the string goes in.

13.  Thread the cord into the tube.  Use a safety pin to help threading.

14. Fold in half and sew with a seam allowance of 5mm (¼").

15. Insert the needle through the thread at the knotted part and pull it out.

16. Stuff with fiberfill, insert the drawstring knot, pull it, and tie a knot.

17. Make the other side in the same way.
