Hi Cuties: I ran across this You-Tube Video for drawstring bags. Its a really good video, but I was most impressed with how she did the bottom. If your doing your own bag, you just have to make the fabric bigger, as this method will make the bag smaller.
I didn't do the casing the same as she did. I left a 1" opening in each side seam and then stitched all around about 2 or 3 inches from the top. Less bulk and fabric used.

I too love how she completed the bottom and it is quite easy, once you see how it is done. It also will save me quite a bit of time compared to how I use to do the base of a bag, so I very much appreciate your posting this for us! Pam

Thank you. Just watch it. Her videos are very detailed and fun to watch.
I would put the batting on the front side and quilt it first for some
texture. Will definately try to make one.

I have seen videos for hats that used the same method for the crown as she used for the bottom of the bag, and used it a few times for those. It's quick and easy.
What I did not like in her video was that she added the drawstring casing a strict 2" from the top of the bag so the little cars from the fabric showed just a bit underneath the casing. I would have moved it till they matched.

I didn't to my casing the way she did, I just stitched two rows around and left an opening in the side seams. Less bulk and easier to do.
I noticed you wrote that and can understand why you did otherwise; it's the way I usually do it as well.
