<br />
A while back, I knitted up some washcloths & circle scrubbies for a friend of mine and she said she would like to learn how to make them. We live about 10 hours apart, so I came up with an idea to teach her, make a video!!! So here it is!!<br />
<br />
Below the video's are the pattern, and links to learn other knitting techniques. :D<br />
<br />
ENJOY!!!<br />

For the drawstrings. Using a rotary cutter and a ruler makes is straight and easy. You don't want to see my scissor cut for a long strip! LOL :D (it is now a 28X28 inch square, with 2 1.5X28 inch strips)<br /><br />Next I sew this side seam up with the overedge stitch on my machine.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #741b47; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a299/Shannon4J/Sewing%20Projects/Drawstring%20Bag%20Tutorial/51171fd5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="238" src="http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a299/Shannon4J/Sewing%20Projects/Drawstring%20Bag%20Tutorial/51171fd5.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: left;"><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #741b47; text-align: center;">Now you have a "tube". Keep the seam lined up and put wrong sides together. Top meets bottom, making it a double thickness tube with right sides showing inside and outside. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #741b47; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #741b47; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #741b47; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #741b47; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a299/Shannon4J/Sewing%20Projects/Drawstring%20Bag%20Tutorial/c4a79e7c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="238" src="http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a299/Shannon4J/Sewing%20Projects/Drawstring%20Bag%20Tutorial/c4a79e7c.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="color: #741b47;">This picture is attempting to show the "tube" being sewn at the edges that will make the bottom of the bag. Again I used the overedge stitch.</div><div style="color: #741b47;"><br /></div><div style="color: #741b47;"><br /></div><div style="color: #741b47;"><br /></div><div style="color: #741b47;">Now fold the overedge stitched edge again and sew a straight line, then sew a zig zag line. This will re-inforce the bottom of the bag :D</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #741b47; text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a299/Shannon4J/Sewing%20Projects/Drawstring%20Bag%20Tutorial/74092e47.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="238" src="http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a299/Shannon4J/Sewing%20Projects/Drawstring%20Bag%20Tutorial/74092e47.jpg" width="320" /></a><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #741b47; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: left;">Ok, now it should look like a bag with only 1 opening! :D</div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: left;"></div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: left;">Next is creating an easy casing to hold the drawstrings at the top. I made buttonholes, you could also use grommets if you prefer. Mark your place with white chalk. I made 4 total. My casing is 1.5 inches wide, I want my buttonholes to be in the center of the casing, so I measure accordingly and place each buttonhole about 1.5 inch from each side. you will see 2 in front and flip it over and see 2 in back. They should line up, but they don't have to be perfect, don't worry it will still work, we just need a hole to get the string into the casing and out of it. :D</div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #741b47; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a299/Shannon4J/Sewing%20Projects/Drawstring%20Bag%20Tutorial/ff3ee8e9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="238" src="http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a299/Shannon4J/Sewing%20Projects/Drawstring%20Bag%20Tutorial/ff3ee8e9.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="color: #741b47;">Yes, it looks low, but we will be folding down the top over the buttonhole to make the casing. :D This shows the marking for one buttonhole, next make a buttonhole on each marking, making sure you don't do it through all 4 thicknesses!! Only make the buttonhole through 2 thicknesses (think tube, well with the bottom closed! LOL)<br /><br /></div><span style="color: #741b47;">Take a seem ripper and open up the buttonholes :D </span><br /><div style="color: #741b47;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #741b47; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a299/Shannon4J/Sewing%20Projects/Drawstring%20Bag%20Tutorial/f551a958.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="238" src="http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a299/Shannon4J/Sewing%20Projects/Drawstring%20Bag%20Tutorial/f551a958.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="color: #741b47;"><br /></div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: left;">OOps, my buttonhole was longer than my marking. :D</div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: left;">Next fold down the top 1.5 inches for the casing! Make sure the bottom seam raw edge is toward the outside, and you fold the top towards the outside so when the casing is sewn and we turn it rightside out it will be neat on the outside with only 4 buttonholes showing at the top. :D</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a299/Shannon4J/Sewing%20Projects/Drawstring%20Bag%20Tutorial/75e8f3d4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="238" src="http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a299/Shannon4J/Sewing%20Projects/Drawstring%20Bag%20Tutorial/75e8f3d4.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ok, now onto the drawstrings! almost done!

I used a straight stitch, then went back over with a zig zag stitch. </span></span></div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: left;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #741b47; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a299/Shannon4J/Sewing%20Projects/Drawstring%20Bag%20Tutorial/e463b685.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="238" src="http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a299/Shannon4J/Sewing%20Projects/Drawstring%20Bag%20Tutorial/e463b685.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span> </span></div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: left;">Do this to both strips.</div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="color: #741b47; text-align: left;">Now turn them right-side out.

Use your imagination! have fun with it!! :D</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="color: magenta;">I made this in a larger (much larger) version for a washable dirty clothes bag for traveling! Woo Hoo!!</span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a299/Shannon4J/Sewing%20Projects/Drawstring%20Bag%20Tutorial/da8244d0.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="238" src="http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a299/Shannon4J/Sewing%20Projects/Drawstring%20Bag%20Tutorial/da8244d0.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="color: magenta;">I also made a small one to carry my phone in because my skirts don't have pockets. Very convenient!! I didn't do drawstring, but made 1 long strap to tie around my waist. I can tuck the ties into my skirt and either tuck the pouch and phone in my skirt to hide it, or leave them showing. :D</div><div style="color: magenta;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a299/Shannon4J/Sewing%20Projects/Drawstring%20Bag%20Tutorial/cd8db4b4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="238" src="http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a299/Shannon4J/Sewing%20Projects/Drawstring%20Bag%20Tutorial/cd8db4b4.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #741b47;">Happy sewing!!!</span></div>Shannon L.
