Easy tutorial: drawstring bag

Drawstring bag: an easy tutorial
Hello and Happy Sunday!
Christmas is coming, are you feeling it? To be honest, I am not a big fan of Christmas, but these pretty drawstring purses are just perfect for this period of the year.
I have a tutorial for you and believe me, it's very easy and straightforward!
Are you ready to make a pretty drawstring bag? Here's what you need:
  • One piece of fabric 30 cm x 22 cm 
  • One ribbon
  • Sewing machine
1) Cut your fabric;

2) Fold and iron the fabric in half; fold and iron  the sides about 2.5 cm, that's where the ribbon will go through. Sew along it.

3) Now, fold the fabric, right sides together and sew along the edges, but stop just before the edge of the fold.

4) Attach a safety pin to one end of the ribbon and slide it into the channel. Knot the ribbon at the length you want (I did it as close to the end as possible) and turn the bag inside out.

I made three drawstring purses today, all different in size and fabric and they are all so pretty. 
The tutorial above is for the medium sized drawstring bag, but you can actually use the length you want, it's so easy and quick to make!
