Tutorial: Turn 1 pair of pants into 3 drawstring bags

Stephanie from Charm of Carolinaa shows how she created 3 drawstring bags out of 1 pair of cargo pants.  She made a drawstring backpack, a simple drawstring bag, and a bonus small drawstring bag – all from the one pair of pants!  The pockets on the cargos ended up as extra pockets on the bags.
