Sew it – Drawstring Bag

UPDATE: I was reviewed on Featuring It Wednesday Drawstring Bag For sew It regarding on this game I’ve joined in. Thanks a lot Mayya!

I was so interested when I read about this on Zura’s blog. Then I found it on Hani’s too. So, they leaded me to Make a Drawstring Bag with Sew It by Mayya Sew Chic and Unique. I want to join the game as I’ve been planned to make myself a small-simple-handy pouch for my simple-easy-going self. So here’s my drawstring version…

Made it last night, only took about an hour to be finished. Quite easy to make indeed, time-consuming only on embellishing part. Mostly I used wooden buttons to embellish both sides. The body measures 25.5 cm height, 18.5 length and the base is about 11.5 cm x 7 cm.

I recycled a never-used embroidered jeans which I’ve bought a months ago. Actually, this design I’ve designed for quite long, ever since my student-life. We were asked to form a company and sell products, for our entrepreneurship subject. So, one of the product we sell was this kind of pouch. I made it for our company. So, it’s like a ‘revisited’ for me to make this pouch after 7 years.

It has rectangular base. Just perfect for my wallet, cellphone and keys. Its handy; just slip my hand through the handle and just it. Big fussy handbag, no more!

To all crafters out there, let sew along!
