Tutorial: Drawstring mesh laundry bags

Sew4Home shares a tutorial for making mesh laundry bags with drawstring closures. The drawstring is an easy closure to make, and it’s also easy to use. Just cinch it up and the bag is closed tight. They’re practical bags, but you can make them fun by using bright colors for the color blocked bottom panels.
