Make a Double-Pull Drawstring Bag with Rob 

Great video. Double drawstring is at least 50% better than single drawstring. Going to make some tool bags and use the double pull string and some pumpkin drawstring lockers to keep bags closed tightly.

You are an amazing teacher. I've sewn my whole life but I learn so much from you.

Great video on how to make these bags ! I need to get back into sewing more

Thank you for explaining french seams, the way you showed us made me realise they are really simple, I've watched loads of sewing TV series and they make it look impossible! I'm going to make one of these bags for my daughter's teaching dance shoes from my left over quilting fabric ❤️

Depending on the girth of the cord, a quick way to thread the cord through is to use a straw... if the "tunnel" for the cord is big enough, a bubble tea straw would be a cinch (pun intended) to get the cord through. Put the straw in the tunnel and slide the cord through. Once the cord is through, slide the straw out. Just a helpful hint that may or may not come in handy.

I just made two of these for my daughter. She is a gymnast and needs bags for her grips. This is an awesome video and tips. It was so easy and I am a very much a beginner at sewing. I totally plan to try some of your other videos.

I was just getting ready to make a few of these for a friend's son and trying to figure out how. Along comes your tutorial and as ALWAYS, PERFECT. You are the BEST!!! Thank you for giving us fun and easy to understand tutorials!

I used this to do the French Seam and double drawstrung pull on a canvas laundry duffel backpack 28" X 36"; for my daughters salon daily laundry. I also added duffel bag & backpack straps. My daughter loved it; espressially carring laundry up & down 3 flites of stars on daily bases

Awesome explanations on how to do a french seam for this project, and super cute bag. Thanks for another awesome tutorial!

Thank you for another great video. I have made 4 of these of various sizes with duck canvas and outside cushion fabric that I have had in my stash for awhile. I have several more to make and will be sure to try the tie in the straw tip on the next one. These bags will be used for my next camping trip. A few for all the sleeping bags, one for all the river run rafts, one for all the tarps and footprints. Great instruction. Thanks again Rob. Everyone loves my Yoga Mat carrier; it turned out so nice.

Love this one Rob. Now I know how easy it is to make a drawstring bag with two openings and cords. Thanks Lynn

Rob, you are great. Thank you

Thanks Rob!

I absolutely love the way you explain what you are doing!!

Just had new sails made for our boat, using the old sails to make these bags which will be great for stowing things away.

Love your tutorials!!😊

Nice project. Thanks for sharing it!

Great video.Super easy to follow compared to other videos. Not too long and easy to watch. Great job!

Once again.....Love it! This will make great gift wrap bags for Christmas... TY

Really great idea

Great video! Thanks so much. I was looking for a quick tutorial on making an unlined and french-seamed gift bag to save on fabric. just knew that you probably had already made one. I used a denim fabric, which was probably too heavy, as it was very tough to get over the bulky seams at the top and bottom sides, even with my "thing a ma jig-over the hump" tool. I'll use a lighter fabric next time. I don't have a heavy duty machine that would handle that. What I was thrilled to learn from this video, that I wished I had known before, was the tip on burning the ends of the nylon cord with the blue part of the flame, not the yellow. Now, I know why my cords were sooty/black when I used them for other projects. I love the idea of having a reusable fabric gift bag be part of the gift, as well. If you have a "bodkin" that helps pull the cord through the channel, too.

Thank you for this making draw string bags for the London Abulance service and others

Thank you Rob for an amazing Tutorial. But I would love to see the Drawstring Bag from the inside...

great video!

awesome video!!

Many thanks for another great tutorial & great gift idea! I'm already thinking about what to fill them with. 🙂

Had to do the French seam 3 times to cover the threads :( but I fixed it and finished! Thanks for the project Rob!

metal flute cleaning rods are good for threading drawstrings, they are super smooth, have a large eye and cost maybe a dollar.

Super! Just what I'm looking for.....

I wish I'd used this tutorial last winter when I made large potted plant covers for protection against ice damage. So I created​ drawstring closures for the top and bottom of the cover, which created a tube. I used​ larger rectangles of waterproof fabric such as PUL, which was leftover from a diaper making project. But I had trouble with the drawstring closures; maybe I didn't construct the hems correctly where the drawstring goes? Anyway, it did work out in the end. Next time I make my plant covers I will follow your tutorial. Thanks for sharing, Rob.

I will be making 20 of these (yikes!) as I do not want to wrap my student's Christmas presents in paper this year. Your tutorial looks super easy to follow, though I would have liked to see how you threaded the second drawstring. Thank you for sharing this video.

A smaller version of these would make great dice bags for the gamers in the family...making some for Father's Day.

This was real helpful. Thank you ;)

wow i just made similar bags but as backpacks for my nephews Saturday... i love how you made yours though!!! i was thinking of making some for packaging my products so your video came in handy and on time! Thank you for sharing this video!!!

all you need is a long wire. loop it around the cord, put the wire through the fabric tube hole, pull it through. so much easier & faster.

Thank you.

Nice!!!!

love the tutorial. you should make the Man Sewing logos for embroidery available on your website.. thinking about it maybe not. you wouldnt want people koncking off your work.

This looks great. I was wondering if you could do a video on making a more 'formal' bag that is lined...but still has the draw string. Thanks

What a great bag Rob!!!! I need one like this to keep my shoes packed cleanly in my suitcase. Haha! But really that is a perfect use!! Thanks again for a great show and lesson. I definitely will make this!

I like the bag, but I am wondering if you could just do french seams on the sides as well.

How about a pull close one for traveling with a bar of soap made from an old beat up towel? Thanks a million!!!!!!

Thanks for the video, just what I needed for Christmas gift bags! BTW, have you ever used a "bodkin" to string the drawstring through? It's inexpensive and makes putting a drawstring in quick and easy!

Rob, Another great tutorial......I have a question......My son i s a Wildland Fire fighter, he quilts when he is home for the Holidays, off season for 2 months,,,,,,I introduced hom to you/your site/your tutorials, he made a wonder quilt this past Christmas for Friends wedding present.....a Winter scene with a large tree, taken off one of your tutorials.......everyone loved it........BUT my question is , do you have the Scissor Flames on a logo or something, he would love it.........thanks for answering in advance

What do you do with the bulky bottom corners?

How do you know how long to make the cord for different size bags?

Rob I love this bag but may I ask you how can this be adapted to make a back pack. Do you have a video that would show this already.

What is this amazing machine where you don’t have to cut your thread after a seam???

I have to make this!! What material can I use to make it slash-proof it? (I want to avoid potential theft)

Would you do the bag with a round circle bottom? (trace of a plate)

Are you using two strings or one for the drawstring?

Did you use two pieces of cord or one, cause the video shows one , but when you done it shoes two knots instead of one

I like this project but mine looks like Willy Nelson's pet hamster (Smokster) after a long tour.

This construction doesn't make any sense. He could simply have sewn French seems to begin with, without turning the edges first. A bad combination of making extra work for inferior results.
