Difficulty:Beginner

Techniques Involved: creating a casing, turning, topstitching, adding a grommet, placing a drawstring

This free pattern comes with a PDF pattern printable for a 20″ wide pouch on 8.5 x 11 or A4 paper. The pattern includes 6 pages. You can also choose to cut a circle of ANY size you like without the pattern pieces and customize your drawstring pouch to your liking.

Suggested Fabric:

Cotton Woven or PUL are the best fabrics for this pouch. Stiffer fabrics will gather less efficiently. You will also need either a grommet or the ability to create a buttonhole. Optional notions include a cord keeper, but that is not necessary and you can tie a bow instead.

• Tape Measure
• Paper & Fabric Scissors
• Rotary Cutter, Mat, and Acrylic Ruler (optional but encouraged)
