Pattern Description: simple drawstring bag

Pattern Sizing:N/A

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?Yes it did

Were the instructions easy to follow?Very easy to follow, pictures on every step

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?No problems with the pattern. simple, but easy to follow instructions. Instructions call for pinking the edges, but doesn't give alternatives. Other than that, no issues

Fabric Used:Cotton

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:Since I don't have pinking shears, I overcast the edges before I put them together. The bottom I french seamed, not necessary, but not hard to do either. I boxed the bottom edges to give it some width needed to hold games pieces.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?I would certainly sew it again, it's very easy. I would recommend it other also.

Conclusion: A good pattern for basic item. I'm sure with experience you don't need a pattern for this, but it's good thing to have a tutorial for it. Great for beginners!
