Handy Drawstring Bag

August 19, 2020 By A Spoonful of Sugar - Leave a Comment

Tilda Tiny Farm fabric is perfect for projects for children with its sweet farmhouses, farm animals, gardening tools, flowers and more! The soft colour palette and whimsical illustrations will look great in a modern nursery or toy room. Children will be drawn to the lovely images.

I made a Handy Drawstring Bag featuring a different fabric on each of the four sides. Like all Tilda fabric ranges, it blends perfectly with the coordinating Tilda basics such as the Tilda Tea Towel shown here as the drawstring casing.

These little drawstring bags and perfectly sized to hold a collection of toys. I have made this one to store a collection of farm animals. I must confess I have kept a lot of my children’s toys. These sweet farm animals bring back lots of happy memories of my children and I playing farms. Hopefully another generation will get to enjoy them one day.

The Handy Drawstring Pouch is a beginner friendly sewing pattern. The template is shaped to give the pouch a square base without the need for boxed corners. It can be easily made in around an hour.

Tilda Tiny Farm fabric range is being released in September. Like all Tilda fabric, it is beautiful quality quilting fabric and has a classic colour scheme. You can see the Children’s placemat and coaster set I made with Tiny Farm here which shows other fabrics in the range. Tiny Farm coordinates with the other new Tilda range, Maple Farm. Check out our other Tilda projects here. Thanks to Two Green Zebras for providing the pre-release fabric used in this project.

You can find Handy Drawstring Pouch pdf Sewing Pattern in our Etsy store.
