How to Hand Sew a Simple Drawstring Bag for Beginners

In this easy hand sewing tutorial, I’ll show you how to make a simple drawstring bag. No sewing machine needed! This is a fun and practical project for beginners, and it's a great way to use up scrap fabric or teach kids to sew.

Drawstring bags are super useful:
Use them as eco-friendly gift wrap
Pack them in your suitcase for travel
Bring snacks or lunches on the go
Keep your craft supplies or small toys organized

All you need is fabric, a needle and thread and some ribbon or twine. If you have a crochet hook, you can make your own cord (video coming soon).
Perfect for slow, mindful making.
