Drawstring Gift Tote Video Tutorial

 

The full video tutorial for the Drawstring Gift Tote sewing pattern is now on the Wholecloth Patterns Youtube channel. I burned some midnight oil to get this out before the weekend. I know I plan to do some Holiday gift sewing on Saturday, and I hope you will too. I've got 2 more sets planned. One in a great green plaid flannel for under the Christmas tree, and the other in an intentionally un-Christmasy fabric for my daughter's birthday. I'll be posting my progress on instagram, and I would love to see what you're making!

This is an easy beginner level sewing pattern. Even if you've never sewed more than a pillowcase, the video will smooth the way for makers of all sewing levels. 

WATCH THE VIDEO

The video instructions are available to everyone, but you'll need a copy of the pattern to follow along.

Fabric and Supplies for this Beginner Sewing Project

Maybe you noticed I didn't shoot this video in my usual sewing space. We've been doing a little home improvement and the sewing bunker hasn't been accessible (sadly not improving it!), so I've been moving my sewing stuff around the house. Even my regular sewing machine is packed away, and I'm using a Singer Heavy Duty I got for the kids. The upside is that I've assembled a tight kit of sewing essentials; most of them were used in this video.
