Description
Sometime ago, I made this simple drawstring bag for a client. Since then, I've gotten a lot of questions about it, as well as people asking how I made it. Here's a walkthrough on how I made this useful little bag.The great thing about this bag is, you can make the bag larger by simply making your fabric circles larger. You can further decorate this bag with embroidery, piping, lace, bias tape, fringe and more. While I made this out of satin and ribbon, the sky is really the limit with this little bag.

That depends. What size bag do you want to make?

A backpack..?

You would probably need roughly ½ - ¾ yard. Always remember πr2 - If you know how deep your want your bag to be, that will roughly give you r. You'll need to add a few inches to that add room for the channel as well as seam allowance. That will give you a rough estimate of how much fabric you would need for such a large bag. Mind you, it's not meant to be worn as a back pack, so you'd have to reengineer the bag a bit.
Good luck! I'd love to see the finished result.

No problem.
I'd seen similar bags posted on Youtube, but you needed a pattern and there were a lot of extra parts I didn't think you needed.
Thus, I thought I'd simplify it down to something a beginner could manage.
