Handy Drawstring Pouch – 3 Sizes

May 29, 2021 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 1 Comment

Handy Drawstring Bag PDF Sewing Pattern by A Spoonful of Sugar Designs - available in 3 sizes

Handy Drawstring Pouch is one of my most popular patterns. It has a flat bottom so it stands up, is fully reversible, looks great with contrasting fabrics, and is beginner friendly. The Handy Drawstring Pouch pdf sewing pattern has had a make over and is now available in three handy sizes to suit a variety of purposes. One of the best features of the Handy Drawstring Pouch is it shape – the cleverly shaped template gives it a flat bottom without the need for sewing pesky boxed corners.
