How to Make a Drawstring Bag with Lining

How to Make a Drawstring Bag with Lining with Chic n Scratch, Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator Angie Juda

I’ve made several versions of my Drawstring Bag and this one has a fluffier top and it’s much larger. And…it has a lining. I love the puffy top – don’t you?

To make this large Drawstring Bag with directional fabric you need to cut your fabric to measure 15″ x 15″ and you need two for the front fabric and two for the lining (and two of the interfacing).

Speaking of directional fabric – this bag would have upside down animals on the back side if I made it like my previous version. So, if you use directional fabric, follow this tutorial for any size you want.

The fabric I choose is for Olivia (for Easter) and the name is – It’s a Girl by Echo Park – Riley Blake Designs. I loved it so much that I bought a whole bolt of two of the patterns from the Fat Quarter Shop.

I get ask a lot “how I cut my fabric yardage?” because I never show cutting it in my videos. So, I filmed a video on “How I cut Fabric Yardage” and posted it on my Sew Chic n Scratch channel on YouTube. (So, what’s up with a new channel? It’s an old channel that was previously just my name and it has some older videos on it but not many. And, I can post videos over there without fearing that everyone will unsubscribe. But, I’m still posting my sewing project videos on my main channel. Does that make sense? If not let me know and I’ll try again.)
