This drawstring bag will make a perfect accompaniment for your outing during this balmy season. The fabric, line drawing, features a simple line drawing illustration against a white background, and has the right level of casual feel without being too cute. The many fabric loops made with the spare fabric can work in lieu of metal rings to complete the bag.

We interviewed Mioko about her creation:
Kokka Fabric (KF): What did you think of the fabric you used for this project?
Clean and playful pen drawings of buildings make such an impression. The design is lovely yet not overly cute. Taking advantage of its character, I wanted to make a bag for a grown up.
KF: Can you tell us any special elements or ideas that you incorporated into this creation?
The solid navy in the same color of the drawing makes the bag look sharp.
The rope handle drawstring bag is perfect for the upcoming season.
You can substitute the metal rings by using many fabric loops.
KF: What are some tips for making this bag?
The rope frays easily, so wrap tape around the edge tightly before putting it through the loop.
To avoid further fraying and for ease of mind, secure the tied knots by applying a craft bond.
KF: How should we use this bag in everyday situations?
A child can enjoy it as a backpack, and a grown up can carry it over the shoulder with two handles. The simple design goes so well with any kind of casual fashion.
KF: Thank you very much, Mioko! Here are sewing instructions along with step by step photos from her. Enjoy crafting!
