Tutorial: Drawstring bag with a window

The clear vinyl window on the front of this drawstring bag gives a peek at what’s inside. Stephanie from Swoodson Says shares a tutorial at So Sew Easy showing how to make one. The windows make them great for organizing small toys or game pieces. All of the seams are enclosed so it’s neat on the inside. A small loop at the back allows you to hang it from a hook.
