I finished my first (of many, I'm sure) drawstring bag. I used the tutorial by Jeni at In Color Order for the design, but I used my own measurements to make it bigger. I cut the soccer fabric at 18 inches square. The black fabric was four inches wide, and the lining was 21.5 inches long. It used 8 feet of ribbon.
It is plenty big. It can hold a soccer ball, cleats and shin guards, plus a water bottle and snack.
I made it as a thank you gift for Cheetah's soccer coach, but now I need to make another one for Cheetah. He loved it!
And as you all know, if I make one for Cheetah... I will have to make one for Panda and Monkey as well! Like I said, the first of many.

great bag for the soccer essentials. I can see that being a very versatile bag, great fabric choice for this one.
ReplyDeleteLooks good! I have a couple of simple bag on my to-do list for this week too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great gift for a soccer coach! I suspect that you will be making quite a few of these, as you said, and I think it will be fun to see what the boys want to carry/store in theirs!
ReplyDeleteIf you give a mouse a cookie . . .
ReplyDeleteSorry. That's what this reminded me of. If you give one child something, you'd better be prepared to make more. And who could blame them all for wanting one - it's adorable!
Great bag, no wonder all your boys want one!
ReplyDeleteI think you will be making many more, Jasmine! Lovely bag :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great bag and great gift. Yep, you'll be doing more of these! :) How fun to see what treasures the boys will Putin theirs.
ReplyDeleteAh yes ... I see more of these in your future :)
ReplyDeletePerfect size and what a thoughtful gift! More will need to be made for sure. . . it's been a few days, are they done yet? :)
ReplyDeleteGreat job! Love the fabrics you chose. I love Jeni's lined drawstring bag pattern. I've made a bunch of the smaller size from the free tutorial. I have fabric to make a larger one as a gift... for keeping embroidery supplies/project in.
ReplyDeleteI just love the bag! Once again I am inspired to make one as well. That would make a nice little Christmas gift.
ReplyDeleteLove your bag! These are so fun and satisfying to make :)
ReplyDeleteLove this bag!
