    This is a fantastic quick sew with endless uses! Make-up, hair accessories, wash bag, toys, building bricks, stationary, sewing…..
    I sewed the small drawstring pouch using 100% cotton in a morning and has it in use by the afternoon. The photographs in the instructions are really clear and of great use for reference.

  2. Karla Henrichs –

    A very easy to follow pattern resulting in a beautiful pouch useful for holding many things. The small is a sizeable pouch and easily holds a growing nail varnish collection! Also it would make a lovely gift.

  24. Faye Elizabeth Haddon –

    Loved making this pattern. This pattern contains a number of features that allow the maker to expand their sewing knowledge (e.g. zip insertion, bias binding making).
    Super simple to follow the instructions and photos display the steps nicely for those who are new to patterns or those who need imagery to understand instructions.

  25. Jemma Tredinnick –

    This is a really nice and easy pattern which produces a handy pouch. I made the optional zip pocket because who doesn’t need more pockets? I made it from African Print cotton and cord and zip from my stash. It was a super quick sew with no complications at all!

  26. Sally Jacobs –

  29. Clare Bowes –

    “This will be a fantastic item to use instead of wrapping paper this year for Christmas, and is versatile as can be used as an easy playmat/ toy pick up bag in one!
    I have made the large in Christmas fabric to use to give presents to my grandkids, and it is reusable! I also made 3 small versions, one each for my 2 grandkids and 1 for my niece, so these will be used as their individual presents wrapping
    It’s a great beginner pattern, can’t wait to make more!!

    Why not try to hack it together with the playmat so you can have the playmat and toy storage bag in one!
    “

  30. Kirsten Olson Rayne –

    I am in love with this bag. I can actually make it rather easily, which means it’s one that I think a young child could make with supervision or a teenager. The small one is the perfect size for an evening out or the prom as well. For long term use I added extra pieces of fabric to the back where the metal magnets go.

  31. Julie McKinley –

    Great pattern for a beginner to learn some new things! Such a fun storage pouch.

  32. Melissa Dale –

    This pattern is so easy to follow and the pouch comes together so nicely. Love the finished product!

  33. Francisca Beitler –

    I love this pouch. Great as a gift, perfect for traveling. The right pattern for upcycling old bedsheets etc.

  34. Nathalie Dene –

    Fun sew. The drawstring pouch also makes the perfect gift for any occasion: christmas, birthday, …because it can be used for make-up, toiletry, toys, yarn, …

  35. Katie Weatherly –

    Very easy pattern to sew. Directions were simple to follow. Love.

  36. Jennifer Lichak –

    What a fun project this is! Use those pretty fabrics and make a bag for storing treasures, use kid friendly fabric for storing those pesky building bricks or even get out that holiday fabric to store decorations! This is such a fun and versatile pattern with a ton of uses. It will be a perfect addition to your pattern library.

  37. Jenna Page –

    I made the large pouch and it is a great size, fits all my beauty products! When open fully or as much as needed you can see everything clearly and when bunched up is a lovely compact pouch!
    Would have so many uses and can’t wait to make the smaller size 🙂
    The pattern is great, very easy to follow with several fastening options for choosing your favourite. Considering the end result and the amazing professional finish you get it’s a very quick sew. Another amazing pattern that will be used over and over again.”

  38. Tina Marie Baber –

    The Rebecca Page Drawstring Bag pattern is a fun and easy sew, if you need a quick gift or something for the person who has everything this is your pattern.
    The pattern is simple, directions easy to understand and the possibilities of what you can use the bag for are endless. I really enjoyed this pattern. I will be making more for gifts and for personal use in the bathroom, kitchen and even the laundry room. Use denim or a heavy fabric and the garage would be a nice place to have one of these bags for the little things that can get lost easily. Keep one in your car with a first aid kit, extra masks just anything! I have seen toys stored in this bag in the kids room or makeup, Cd’s, iPod even a tablet in your teenagers space.
    This is the perfect pattern for that Quick and Easy Gift no matter how old the people are.

  39. Jamie Adler –

    On trend! The drawstring pouch is such a necessity. It is a quick project and the small one is large enough for a two dozen small action figures, make-up or other household items. I lined it with PUL for ease in cleaning. This is one pattern you will sew again and again!

  40. Alisha Sparks Adams –

    Great bag pattern! It’s simple and quick to sew, making it prefect for last minute gift giving.

  41. Emily Anderson –

    The drawstring pouch was very fun to make! It is nice to have the two different size options. The final product is functional and will be very useful for toting around my baby’s toiletries or toys.

  42. Kel J –

    This was such a quick sew. There will be lots under the Christmas tree this year.

  43. Abby Villarreal –

    This was a quick sew! The pouch itself holds a lot of items, even at the small size!

  44. Juliana Garibaldi-Appelhof –

    I love the Drawstring pouch! It is perfect to carry my dog’s toys, and it has also an optional pocket which is perfect to put the treats.

  45. Rebekah Homer –

    What a fun pouch! This pattern comes together easily and is pretty much a blank slate for whatever you want. Whether a makeup pouch or a toy bag, this pattern works as a great base and I love the idea of combining the car mat and the large pouch :). I love the zipper pocket in case you have smaller things you don’t want loose in the pouch. Quick and easy sew with great directions.

  46. Kim Cierpik-Gold –

    This is such a great pattern, and I’m looking forward to making many, many more. I am an adventurous beginner/early intermediate sewist, and while nothing in this pattern is difficult, there are times when extra care is needed (such as sewing the flap with a thicker interfacing or attaching the drawstring casing). iIt’s absolutely something a beginner can do. I made the Small Size and it is perfect for toys or carrying small personal items on the go.

  47. Sandy Simpson –

    The drawstring pouch is a quick, easy and fun pattern to make. The pouch is versatile and so, so useful.

  48. Jenni Elizabeth Early –

    This is such a fun sew! I was having a stressful day, and I came downstairs to my sewing room. I was able to finish this one in a couple hours. It was simple enough to be easy to complete, but detailed enough to feel accomplished with the sew when I was finished 🙂

  49. Laura Wheelis –

    Fun, easy sew. For beginners, the binding might be tricky but it’s a good skill builder with a fast pay off! Even the small can hold quite a bit. I packed a T-shirt, shorts and a small towel in mine for the gym or emergency clothes

  50. Magda Rindmo –

    A fun pattern, Loved to make it. Perfekt for christmasgifts!

  51. Angela Kypreos –

    The Drawstring pouch is a great scrap buster but also a really quick sew. It makes a great gift and the uses are endless, such as great teacher gifts or for gifting some-one home-made cookies. Better still, use them to wrap your christmas presents this year.

  52. Veronika Lorenser –

    What a cute pouch! I needed a Christmas gift bag for homemade preserves and this easily fits 3.

  53. Linda Riggall –

    A very versatile and easy sew. I made this in just under an hour with a few distractions from the kids thrown in too. I made the small size with the optional pocket and used toggles and a snap to close. Well explained and easy to follow pattern. I made mine for my 3 year old as a dance bag. The pocket is a perfect size to fit a small brush, bobbles, bows and a bun do-nut. In the main section I put her tutu and ballet pumps. It all fits in with a little room to spare and she loves it. My oldest daughter wants one for her make-up and my 8 year old wants one to put all her Disney figures. Will be great stocking fillers!

  54. Tara Erwin –

    This is such a fun little pattern! Easy and fun to sew u up and it’s Perfect for my kids stocking stuffers this year. They are going to be so excited!

  64. Mandy Tustin –
