Pink Drawstring Bag


I have been browsing many bag making blogs and wanted to make my own. Since I am not an expert at sewing, I thought it was prudent to start with something easy, hence a simple drawstring bag here. I lined the bag but didn't attach any pocket on inside, the fact I greatly regret. A simple slip pocket wouldn't have been much trouble to make I suppose, now that the bag came out reasonable satisfactory. I have got enough fabric left so perhaps another bag, maybe bigger one, with a pocket inside would be practical for travel. I am going to have a trip to Europe from the end of the year. Matching bags in the suitcases would look really lovely (and tidy) don't you think?

  1. Love the little bag. Yes make some the same sounds real nice. I must think about that too. I never made one so should give it a try.

  2. Enjoyed reading your blog this morning. The bag is simply precious. I used to have a little jewelry bag like this several years ago, and yes mine had pockets. What a great traveling companion. I also enjoyed reading about your thimbles, I have never seen anything like them, my favorite is the purple one.

  7. Yes, I think a second bag is a must. One to carry makeup, etc. Have fun with your sewing project.

  10. The bag is wonderful. Matching bags in a suitcase would be the height of luxury! I think you're on to something great here, with these and the Japanese thimbles.

    Have a great Pink Saturday.
