Hi Whitney - I absolutely 💜 this bag! Definitely one of my favorites. I will be making several of these - one for my crochet, knitting, hand embroidery and unfinished small projects! This is perfect and I love how you made the drawstring casing piece. Genius!!! Truly Genius!!! I’ve made a lot of project bags in the past, some with zippers and some with drawstrings and this is going to be my go to way for drawstring bags in the future! Everything looks so nice and I have some of the foam to add to the bottom. Yay! I will probably use canvas or home dec fabric for the outside and handles and cotton for the inside and drawstring casing. Excellent job figuring out how all this comes together! You are the best. Hope the girls are having a great summer. I miss seeing them. Big Hugs! 🤗💜💟💜
Thank you for the very straightforward directions and clear visual on how you do each step. It is becoming increasingly hard to find tutorials without a ton of extra marketing, talking, and unnecessary info. Yours was awesome! Thanks
I really like your bag so much and your tutorial is great! I promised my daughter to try something similar for her projects. It is a new type of project to me and I hope i'll manage it. I need to make it bigger and add some additional smaller bags to the inside lining for organizing her materials. Maybe you have some hints?
I really enjoyed this tutorial because you are clear, you carefully move from one step to the next, and you show exactly what you are doing. Great teacher. Thanks. PBerne
I made my first bag yesterday following your directions, which were clear and straightforward. I'm feeling rather proud of myself and I just wanted to say thank you. The bag is the perfect size for my knitting projects, but your directions make it easy to size up or down.
I made one. Sending to your web. I made it without handles and smaller. I can take it as a an evening bag. Thank you. U are a good teacher. Not confusing us.
OH MY GOODNESS!! TOO CUTE!! I'll be making one this weekend! You make everything look so easy and give such fantastic instructions. Who doesn't need a drawstring bag to take to the park, farmers market, zoo, museum, etc.?! You can put anything in it!! And the fact that it's washable makes it even better!!
I Love This bag, I have made several for friends, and myself. The two differences I made to your bag is, I cut 2 - 11" x 15" pieces to make pockets on the inside (3 on each side), that way it makes the perfect purse, and I cut 2 3/4" squares out at the bottom to do the corners. Thank You for sharing your Time, and Your Talent with all of us.
Whitney, I love this bag, thank you so much! I made one for my crochet projects, and I'm now in the process of making a second one for my audio equipment (mic, headphones, audio interface--I do voice overs). After that, I just might make another one for our pet grooming supplies...I can't stop! 😆🤣
This will be my next project as soon as I can get a few min. Thanks so much Whitney. It will be awesome for Bible journaling crafts that can transport easy.
Why the heck anyone would give this a thumbs down is beyond me !!! 😞... anyhoo .. their loss ! ... I'm off to make plans for making half a dozen or so of these for Winter Solstice gifts for my crafty buddies 😊.... THANK YOU SO SO MUCH ! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 😆
This is a great pattern. I'm making a lot of them to give to students needing personal care items. It's perfect for that. My only change is putting the heavy interfacing piece on the inside of the bag bottom so recipients don't have to deal with separate piece.
Thank you Whitney - this is just what I was looking to make for our Quilting Guild Gift draw. Really appreciate your easy to follow clear instructions. I have 5 to make so am going to get started today-thanks again!
This has to be one of my favorite projects of yours! My granddaughter (3) is purse crazy. I think this would be cute made smaller with my scraps of "girly" fabrics😃 She always has one of her purses on her shoulder with toys in it whenever she goes somewhere! Also, this is great shape to take toys to the beach using waterproof fabrics.... you can tell I'm excited about making some of these!!😋👍
I’m in love with theses bags, really easy to make. I have made so many, using this pattern to make kids school bag, laptop bag, PE kit, to hold my knitting in. Even made this pattern small to fit my phone and tablet in, so I don’t lose it when I put it in my hand bag. Amazing bag and video very easy to follow.
Hi Whitney, thank you for your tutorials. I made one your bags for her knitting. I enjoyed making this bag and I’m sure I’ll make more of this design. To this I also added pockets in the front and also an inside pock. Thank you again from Melbourne Australia
Thank You again, Miss~Whitney, for your Precious time and Wonderful tutorials. Did check out Ashley as well. Enjoy some of hers as well. Have a Beautiful day!
Sew cute! Thank you again for a great project! I have to say you are a excellent teacher. Your videos are easy to understand with great directions to follow 😃 thank you again ❤️👍
Thanks for the tut !! I've been wondering how to achieve adding the drawstring top this way but just couldn't wrap my brain around if, I've been trying to do a drawstring water bottle holder w/insulation & needed the top part to be completely enclosed. ' Thanks again !!
This is awsome question and I use pul for the lining as I want the inside to be wipe out as I think this would look like as a trash bag for my car lol.
So cute ! Love that it has draw string and handles. This is a similar pattern to making the zippered pouches I make. I am planning on making a bunch of these . Thank you for the pattern and how to tutorial . I can't wait to make them.
I love the bag. I would love it even more if it had a pocket inside for the various accoutrements I need to carry with my projects. Any chance there is an easy way to add one?
This is one of my favorite videos you've made! That bag is adorable! Thank you so much for making it so simple to follow! I'm definitely going to make several of these bags. They'll make terrific gifts!
Absolutely adorable, i want to make some Christmas theme bags like these, but i need measurements, it looks so easy to make, so could you give me measurements please...truly appreciated...thank you xx
For the bag upper, what is the seam allowance for sewing it around the top edge please and with the lining, what is the seam allowance for the sewing of that piece around the top edge?
One thing that I always have to think about is which dimension is the side and which is the top and bottom. It looks like it is wider than tall, but it would be helpful to say something like sew along the 11" sides..... The first lined laundry bag I made wasn't very tall but it had one heck of an opening. It made a nice dust cover for my sewing machine.
consider adding an Amazon direct link button on your blog, please. On older videos, I can't get to your Amazon page. thanks for sharing your sewing talent.
I would probably carry my yarn for crocheting. Or maybe some art supplies for drawing or painting Raven supplies for doing hair. The possibilities are many.
I enjoyed making this bag once I was able to find the list of pattern piece sizes on the website. It very difficult to navigate without the search box readily available to find at the top of the webpage. This seems to be the choice of size right now for the orders I am getting . Will continue to use pattern , but please make it easier for others to find on your webpage.
The very first link in the video description box takes you straight to the post with the measurements. But if for some reason you are ever unable to find the direct link to a post you can Google "Whitney Sews" and the name of the project and it should come up at the top of the search.
I need to make this bag to hold my scrapbook stuff so I can work on it while my son is in his Taekwondo class. I wonder if I could repurpose old pillowcases to make this?!
is there any chance you will be making a diaper bag with side pockets in the near future.a simple one maybe even messenger bag style or a laptop messenger bag with side pockets?and or a tutorial on extended pockets in a bag as im so grateful to all you have taught me but i just cant seem to get the bags i want done right.i cant follow others aa good as you.even if you have a pattern i can buy that would work.my 1st baby is due in 2 months and ive messed up every diaper bag i have tried as i cant figure out side pockets no matter what i try.thx so much.hugzzz from canada

This is the BEST I have ever seen, she makes it doable for me, a not so novice sewer 🦋

Great tutorial...followed it and bag came out perfectly!! Thank you x

Perfect, all it needs is an outside pocket for knitting patterns which is easy to add before sewing together . Thanks for a great project .
This will be my next project as soon as I can get a few min. Thanks so much Whitney. It will be awesome for Bible journaling crafts that can transport easy.

You can add a pocket to one of the lining pieces before sewing them together.
@@Whitney_Sews that makes sense. I'm still kind of new at this whole sewing thing. Thanks for helping me out.
Your videos are awesome!
I'm going to sew one up for a knitting project 😊
What an awesome video! This is a must make!

Hi, you don't box the corners of the lining bag? Love this project !
The lining is boxed same as the outer.
Love it! Thanks for sharing this beautiful bag, Whitney
consider adding an Amazon direct link button on your blog, please. On older videos, I can't get to your Amazon page. thanks for sharing your sewing talent.
There are direct links to Amazon on my website. The Amazon ad with several photos of sewing supplies is an affiliate link. Hope that helps :)
Brilliant will definitely be making myself some of these for my crochet projects 🤗
Whitney, THANK YOU !
I would probably carry my yarn for crocheting. Or maybe some art supplies for drawing or painting Raven supplies for doing hair. The possibilities are many.
Explained nicely. Thank you
This is so cute! I'd love to make one but wondering if I need to change the size a little, could you tell me the finished size of your bag?
That's is very cute bag I love this fabric.
Awesome tutorial. Thanks

Love it, so cute.
Love it .... jus a quick question .... is there anything else sturdy enough for the base ? Apart from foam .... n washable .....
maybe a few pieces of denim??
You could try a couple of layers of needlepoint plastic.
love it!! and the fabrics!!
So cute🤗💗
Hello🤗. I would like to make the bottom wider. Do I add inches to the length, width or both? Like 9.5 x 6
