chat about our to do for week 4 of the sew along this week s focus is on final touches tackle those drawstring casings make fabric ties or prep twill paracord ties pull ties through the bags and finish them off with a simple knot or some fun beads a few posts you might find helpful when tackling this marking the drawstring casings can be time consuming especially if you re making a lot of bags i have a video tutorial for an alternative marking technique that is my go to method find it here alternative method for marking the drawstring casing if you re like me and you don t have a free arm on your sewing machine i have a video tutorial for how to sew the drawstring casings find it here how to sew a drawstring casing without a free arm sewing machine using beads and want to take them to the next level i have a tutorial all about how to customize unfinished wooden beads find it here how to customize wooden beads with paint stain and dye you ve made your bags and now you re ready to gift them how about use some reusable gift tags too i share five different ideas for tagging your bags in this post reusable gift tag ideas for drawstring bags working with paracord can be intimidating if you ve never used it before i ve got a post that breaks down the basics for you tips for working with paracord what is twill tape twill tape is a woven fabric tape ribbon usually woven in a herringbone design it s often made from cotton linen polyester or wool it has many uses in sewing including reinforcing or finishing seams making casings binding and as ties or drawstrings not only does twill tape come in different substrates it can be different widths colors and have designs printed on them where to buy twill tape cotton twill tape is widely available online and can be found in some stores as well here are a few places to look i sell a small selection of twill tapes in my online shop your local independent fabric quilt shop etsy is a great place to find a wide variety of twill tape big box craft stores like joann fabrics usually sells it by the yard four ways to finish twill tape ends when using twill tape for drawstring bag ties you ll want to finish the cut ends there are many different ways you can do this i m going to share four here in order of ease effort 1 fray check or clear nail polish use a small amount of fray check or clear nail polish on each cut end to keep from unraveling 2 washi masking tape cut a small piece of washi tape that s at least twice the width of the twill tape so 1 if you re using 1 2 twill place the tape on one of the cut ends so that it extends past the twill wrap the tape around the twill and press well with your finger trim the end with scissors to tidy 3 fold over and stitch this is what i do 90 off the time on each end fold the twill under by about 3 8 then fold it under 3 8 again trapping the raw edge inside topstitch to secure in place 4 fabric square tie cut 2 1 25 x2 5 rectangles press each long edge in 1 4 press each short edge in 1 4 fold in half so the two short ends meet press after threading the ties through the casing on the bag sandwich the two tie ends on one side between one of the fabric piece secure with pins topstitch around all four sides repeat with the ties on the other side of the bag threading the drawstrings my favorite way to thread the drawstring ties twill or not is to use a big 2 safety pin if i m folding over and stitching the ends to finish i do this first before threading for all the other finishing methods i thread the drawstrings into the bag before finishing to get the neatest result i now have small packs of 2 safety pins in my online shop i know not everyone wants to buy a big pack these large pins this way you can have just a few on hand for this task find them here safety pins for drawstring bags using twill tape for a tag make a little tag with twill tape to use on your bags if your twill tape is really tightly woven you may even be able to use a little stamp to customize the tag regardless it s just a fun little detail you can do this step either before any of the sewing instructions or after step 2 cut a piece of twill your desired length i cut mine about 2 long fold in half with wrong sides together and press well decide where you want your tag to go i wanted mine down near the bottom of the bag just make sure you re not going to interfere with the gussets if you re measuring up from the bottom of the exterior main take half the depth measurement and add around an inch that s the closest i d go to the bottom place the folded twill with the raw edge on the raw edge of the exterior main and baste in place finish the bag as usual using twill tape for embellishment a few years ago i shared a post during the sew along for embellishing drawstring bags with twill or ribbon i think it s a really cute detail you can add to a bag use it to cover the seam between the exterior main and the exterior accent or use it around the drawstring casing using twill tape with beads i love adding wooden beads to my bags to dress them up even more my one piece of advice when using beads with twill tape this applies to paracord and even fabrics ties too is to give yourself a little extra length to accomodate the beads i often like to tie a knot on either side of the bead so that uses up some of the drawstring length i d cut the ties a couple of inches longer than the pattern calls for if you need help getting the twill threaded through the bead you may find a point turner or chopstitck helpful for pushing it through take care of tie a large enough knot to keep the bead from falling off i hope you ve enjoyed this informational posts i ve loved seeing your bags throughout the sew along please share them with me on instagram

expansion pattern before we dive into the post let s quickly chat about our to do for week 3 of the sew along this week s task is sewing sew your bags through step 10 if you re making a lot of bags and you re short on time i highly recommend making them assembly line style this isn t quite as fun but it s definitely more efficient a few posts you might find helpful when tackling this i recorded a video tutorial that covers making the bags from start to finish it s a bit long but it s meant to be comprehensive find it here lined drawstring bag video tutorial if you need a little extra guidance when it comes to the gussets i have a video for that too find it here how to put a gusset on a bag video tutorial check out this post that will help make your drawstring casing openings extra tidy tips for tidy drawstring casing openings exposed gusset lined drawstring bag tutorial let s get to today s tutorial for exposed gussets this variation has no functional difference from the original bags just a different look it s a fun oppoertunity to add an extra special detail usually we box the exterior and interior corners seperatly and trim off the excess fabric those seams end up tucked away on the wrong side of the bag with this exposed gusset version we box the exterior and interior corners together on the outside of the bag and we don t trim off the extra fabric it kind of makes the side of the bag look like a little present you can choose to use a fun pop of color to embroider the corner in place or do it invisibly it s up to you sewing level intermediate exposed gusset lined drawstring bag tutorial materials all required fabrics and notions based on either the free tutorial or one of the sizes from the pattern handsewing needle embroidery floss exposed gusset lined drawstring bag tutorial cutting cut all pieces as usual using the free tutorial or pattern exposed gusset lined drawstring bag tutorial instructions use a 1 4 seam allowance unless otherwise noted 1 follow the instructions in the the free tutorial or the pattern to construct your bag skipping steps 6 8 after you ve completed the body of your bag we ll pick it back up again to create the exterior gussets in this tutorial we re doing it at the end of the bag construction but feel free to follow this tutorial anytime after step 10 2 to create the exposed gussets we re going to box the exterior and interior corners together from the exterior right side of the bag we ll only be doing these next few steps twice instead of the usual four times first make sure that the interior corners are nestled neatly into the exterior corners 3 gently pinch the front and the back of the bag grabbing both the interior and exterior layers and flatten the corner where the seams meet line up the bottom and side bag seams wiggling them between your fingers to feel that they are lined up 4 lay your acrylic ruler across the corner lining up the diagonal edge of your piece with the 45 angle line the side seam should line up at 1 5 as shown above draw a line 3 wide across the corner using a water soluble pen or pencil reference the chart on page 4 of the pattern if you re making a size other than the everything bag or the tutorial size 5 sew on this line across the corner backstitch when you start and stop repeat with the other exterior and interior corner 6 now we re going to secure this exposed gusset to the side of the bag if you want this to be invisible feel free to use a matching thread and a small invisible stitch or whipstitch if you d like a contrasting detail i recommend using embroidery floss make a knot in your floss and start from the inside of the bag stitch through the gusset corner and the side of the bag several times to sure in place repeat on second side i
