INSTRUCTIONS OPTIONAL EMBELLISHMENT: (before assembling the bag panel!) Fold edges over 1/4 inch and press. (To make this a pocket, sew along the top hem of the embellishment.) Place on bag where you would like the embellishment to be - make sure to leave room for hemming the bag! Sew along the edges of the embellishment, attaching it to the bag. For a pocket, do not sew the top finished hem - otherwise you won’t be able to put anything in the pocket! MAIN PANEL: Cut out the bag panel. Fold 1/4 inch hem (right side facing outward) and press. Fold the top of the panel a further 1 inch and sew across the bottom to create the casing for the drawstring. Fold the panel in half along a vertical axis, with right sides facing each other. Press. Sew an 1/8 inch hem along the open bottom edge and up the side, stopping at the bottom edge of the drawstring casing (so that you don't sew the casing closed). Turn bag right side out. DRAWSTRING: Fold 1/4 inch hem along the top and bottom of the drawstring (right sides out). Press. Fold in half horizontally, then sew along the open side, using a 1/8 inch seam allowance. Fold in ends and sew if you would like to give it a polished look. Feed through the drawstring casing using a safety pin attached to one end.
