I love these little drawstring bags. They make the perfect gifts for young & teenage girls.
My girls use them for make-up bags.

Last week 3 of my daughter's went to Girl's Camp with our church.
It's a tradition for the girls to have a "secret sister". They draw names before they leave for camp and then they prepare a small gift to give their secret sister each day at camp.
So, I made this fun little drawstring bag for one of my girls to give her secret sister. I hope she likes it!

In November I had a booth at a Flea Market in Phoenix. This was the first Flea Market I've participated in and it turned out great.
I love these drawstring bags. They are so simple and so versatile. They can be used for gift bags, like these over on my old blog. Here's a few more of these drawstring bags that I've made: Here, here & here!
I decided to make several sizes this time. I usually just make the larger one, but I decided to make some smaller ones.
I love this little miniature one. It's so cute.
One of my girls uses a bag like this for her make-up. Another one uses one for her nail polishes.
A few of these drawstring bags are available in my Etsy shop, however if you'd like to order a bag like this, but with different fabrics head over to my shop and place a custom order. You can choose the colors/prints/fabrics and I will try to find fabric as close to what you request as possible. Please note that I cannot guarantee that I can find exactly what you would like, but I will do my best.

Here is another custom backpack I just finished today for a client (it's actually for her daughter). I really wasn't sure about this color combination at first, but I really love how the coral & turquoise look together.
Leave a comment here & tell me what other color combos or print/solid or print/print combos do you think would look good with a backpack like this? I have another backpack cut out & almost ready to sew, so come back soon to see the combo I came up with for that one.
As a little surprise I added a cell phone pocket that she's not expecting. It could also double as a pencil/pen pocket.

After Makyla, my 13yo, saw the backpack I was making for Cammi, my 17yo (seen here), she decided she wanted one of her own. She found one online that she liked and wanted something similar to Cammi's with the large bow on it like this one I came up with. The inside is pretty much the same as Cammi's bag.
I used the same pattern that I used for Cammi's, so this shows how different the same bag can turn out, but adding different elements and eliminating others.
If you would like to purchase a backpack similar to this one they are $35-$40, depending on the size and materials needed {+shipping}.

A while back I made some of these drawstring "hobo" bags for my daughters, then my Cammi girl asked me to make one for her friend, Lauren {you can see that one here}. Lauren loved hers so much that I decided I wanted to make a bunch to have on hand for my girls friends when they have birthdays.
I decided to make a larger version of the bags that I had made before. I'm not sure if I like how large it turned out, but I'm sure a lucky girl will find a good use for it pretty soon.
Here's a few more hobo bags that I've made {these are all over on my old blog}:
14.5" at the top {when it's not pulled tight}
3.5" wide {when it is pulled tight}
14.5" at the bottom
