dEasy Drawstring Bag - Free Sewing Pattern

Drawstring bags are fun to sew, and make a great first sewing project for beginners!  See how to sew an easy drawstring bag over at Sew Simple Bags.  The tutorial is designed with beginners in mind, and there’s a free sewing pattern you can download.  The free pattern comes in three sizes – the largest bag is a good size for a project bag, the medium is the right size for a cosmetics bag, while the smallest would be perfect for jewelry or other small items.  A coordinating set of drawstring bags (one of each size) would make a great gift!
