Easy No Measure Drawstring Bag


"Easy no-measure drawstring bag tutorial. Use fat quarters or any other leftover fabric plus jelly roll strips to make a gift bag that will fit anything! These easy gift bags are as simple to sew up as it would be to wrap a present with gift wrap and they are reusable! The tutorial includes a video demonstration and step by step for two ways to make this bag - lined and unlined. I hope you enjoy whipping up these bags and taking a break from measuring before you cut!"
