Sewing: Pirate Cinch Sacks
7 kudoz

Pirate Cinch Sacks

Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Bag-Making Basics: Drawstring Bag & Bucket Bag »

Instructions

I flipped it so that the wider panel was at the top instead of the bottom, I just like it better that way. I also stitched around my drawstring holes to make them more secure

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Functional

For: Boys

Style: Casual, Funky


Materials

cotton fat quarters

What was your inspiration?

Just fyi I am calling these boy bags CINCH SACKS because it sounds way cooler than drawstring bag... LOL

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

I wasn't going to watch the video because I already know how to make drawstring bags, but I decided to go ahead and watch it anyway and I'm glad that I did. There were a couple tips in there {or techniques maybe} that I thought were genius {Um... RIBBON to turn to tube?? YES!!!}

So I say just because you already know how to do it doesn't mean you won't learn something new that surprises you.

I love the prints you chose for your "cinch sacks"....great idea flipping around the panels...I like how it looks, I think I'll try that method next time I make this bag!

Super! (Yes - "cinch bags" is good - don't tell the boys they used to be called "Dorothy bags" in England when I was a child!)
