Hi Erica … I made your drawstring bag this week … so cute! I liked it so much that I’m making another in red, white and blue. Using shoelaces for the ties.

I was trying to figure out what to make my friend for her birthday and your tutorial showed up at just the right time. I rushed home from work and made this bag. I like the way it came together, but it took me longer than an hour. My friend loves bright colors so I put together a bag with yellow, orange, red, green and I think this bag is right up her alley. Thank you Erica, I love the way the bag turned out.
