Patchwork Drawstring Bag Tutorial

This patchwork drawstring bag is made using 5″ pre-cut squares. 

If you don’t have pre-cut squares you can also make it with a bunch of your fabric scraps. It’s a great scrap busting sewing project!

– Fabric – Casing strips – Cutting mat – Ribbon – Rotary cutter – Sewing machine – Binding clips

Supplies

Create The Bag Lining First, take the two lining pieces and place right sides together with the short length at the bottom.

Construction:

Stitch them together in rows and then stitch the rows together to form the front panel of the drawstring bag.

Create The Patchwork For The Bag Outside Pieces

Repeat with the remaining 12 squares to create your patchwork back panel.

When pressing, stitch the top row seams to the right, the next row seams to the left, the next row to the right etc. so that when you match the rows together, the seams are nicely nested.
