Dialogue: 0,0:00:10.98,0:00:14.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that you've found on the internet, and I try\Nmy best to recreate them!
Dialogue: 0,0:00:14.39,0:00:18.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Today's challenge was suggested by the lovely\Nada_oline, who wanted me to try out this silvery
Dialogue: 0,0:00:18.69,0:00:24.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,drawstring bag. I found this bag on a couple\Nof different sites, including some Etsy stores,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:24.07,0:00:27.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Ebay... I basically found this bag everywhere.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:27.78,0:00:29.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Drawstring bags are pretty simple.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:29.33,0:00:30.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, we'll get started!
Dialogue: 0,0:00:30.83,0:00:35.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The special materials I needed for this project\Nwere some silver fabric, an eyelet or grommet
Dialogue: 0,0:00:35.69,0:00:39.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,kit with tools, and approximately 74 inches\Nof rope.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:39.59,0:00:44.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I started out by cutting out my bag material.\NTo do this, I folded my silver material in
Dialogue: 0,0:00:44.39,0:00:49.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,half, right-sides together, and on the wrong-side\Nof the fabric, I drew a rectangle that was
Dialogue: 0,0:00:49.23,0:00:50.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,13 by 17 inches.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:51.94,0:00:55.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I then put some pins through\Nboth pieces of fabric to hold them together,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:55.46,0:00:59.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then cut out the rectangle, making sure to\Ncut through both pieces of fabric. By folding
Dialogue: 0,0:00:59.57,0:01:04.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,my material in half before cutting, I’ve\Nsaved time by cutting out both pieces at once.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:04.61,0:01:09.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then, I leave the pins in the material, and\NI sew around the edges of the bag like this.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:09.22,0:01:14.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I make sure to leave 2 inches not sewn up\Nthe top here, and I also don’t sew the top edge.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:15.34,0:01:20.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I’m using an overlocker to sew - because\Nit’s fast and I’m lazy - but you can definitely
Dialogue: 0,0:01:20.79,0:01:25.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,also just use a normal straight stitch on\Na sewing machine, or even hand-sew this with
Dialogue: 0,0:01:25.41,0:01:28.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a needle and thread.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:28.30,0:01:32.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When you’re done, your two rectangles should\Nbe sewed together, right-sides together, like
Dialogue: 0,0:01:32.51,0:01:36.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this. And I know you can’t see my stitches\Nhere because I was using light-coloured thread,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:36.08,0:01:38.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but they *are* there, and they look like this.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:38.57,0:01:43.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Next, I folded down this top, unsewn edge,\Nby ONE inch, like this.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:43.76,0:01:50.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then I pinned this edge down all the way\Naround the top of the bag, so that I had this.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:50.75,0:01:54.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then I sewed all the way around the bag,\Nto create a kind of tube on both the front
Dialogue: 0,0:01:54.96,0:02:00.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and back sides of the bag, like this.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:00.82,0:02:04.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When you get to the side seam of your bag,\Nyou should stop sewing, lift up your needle
Dialogue: 0,0:02:04.48,0:02:09.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and cut the threads, and start again on the\Nother side of the seam, so that you get two
Dialogue: 0,0:02:09.20,0:02:12.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,tubes, one of the front and one on the back\Nof the bag.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:12.42,0:02:16.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When I was done sewing, I turned my bag the\Nright way around! And, I also pushed out the
Dialogue: 0,0:02:16.89,0:02:18.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,corners of the bag using a ruler.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:18.83,0:02:24.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then, on the two bottom corners, I sewed over\Nthe top of each corner like this. Just make
Dialogue: 0,0:02:24.81,0:02:29.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,sure that this corner is big enough for your\Neyelet to fit inside.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:29.02,0:02:33.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Okay, so now it’s time to set the eyelets!\NNow, this is the eyelet kit that I bought.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:33.87,0:02:38.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,DO NOT get this brand of eyelets – which\Nis called Sullivan’s – this kit was totally
Dialogue: 0,0:02:38.79,0:02:43.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,wrong and incomplete just and didn’t….\Nwork. And also led me to ruin most of my eyelets
Dialogue: 0,0:02:43.97,0:02:47.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,while I was practicing, and, as you can see,\Nmy table!
Dialogue: 0,0:02:47.57,0:02:51.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Anyway, I got it to work because I found an\Nanvil and a tool that I could use in another
Dialogue: 0,0:02:51.81,0:02:56.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,button kit that I owned – Thanks, NEWEY\N– so I inserted my eyelets by making a little
Dialogue: 0,0:02:56.68,0:03:02.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,hole in the middle of that corner triangle,\Nmaking the hole bigger using a pen, inserting
Dialogue: 0,0:03:02.93,0:03:07.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this larger eyelet piece through the hole,\Nplacing the anvil underneath, then placing
Dialogue: 0,0:03:07.71,0:03:11.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the washer over the top, putting this tool\Nthingy in the middle, and then bashing the
Dialogue: 0,0:03:11.99,0:03:19.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,whole thing down with a hammer. Which gave\Nme this pretty eyelet in my fabric. Hooray!
Dialogue: 0,0:03:19.94,0:03:22.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I repeated this on both the bottom corners\Nof the bag.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:22.97,0:03:27.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now it’s time to add the bag straps. So,\NI cut myself about 74 inches of rope.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:27.74,0:03:29.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then, I threaded the rope as follows:
Dialogue: 0,0:03:29.64,0:03:33.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,First, through one of the eyelets, and I tied\Na knot in the short end.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:33.51,0:03:38.100,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then, I inserted a safety pin into the other\Nend of the rope to help guide it, and I threaded
Dialogue: 0,0:03:38.100,0:03:42.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the rope through the top tube.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:45.56,0:03:47.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,...and then I\Npulled it through until the strap on the left
Dialogue: 0,0:03:47.95,0:03:50.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,was about the right length for a bag.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:50.66,0:03:54.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then I threaded the rope through the BACK\Ntube, and out the other end.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:56.88,0:03:59.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I pulled the excess rope all the way through.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:04.74,0:04:09.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then I threaded the rope, once again, through\Nthis TOP tube. So, there are two layers of
Dialogue: 0,0:04:09.75,0:04:13.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,rope going through the top tube now. Because\Nof this, it can be a bit hard to get the rope
Dialogue: 0,0:04:13.97,0:04:18.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in there, but keep persevering and you’ll\Nget it there eventually.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:18.20,0:04:22.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I pulled this rope all the way through, and\Nthen threaded it though the last eyelet...
Dialogue: 0,0:04:25.74,0:04:29.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,...and I tied a knot in the end, and snipped off\Nthe excess rope.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:33.26,0:04:37.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then, I tried the bag on, found the rope to\Nbe a little bit too long, so I cut it shorter
Dialogue: 0,0:04:37.79,0:04:44.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,at the ends and re-tied the knots until both\Nthe straps were about the right length.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:44.07,0:04:45.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that’s it.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:45.29,0:04:46.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, how did I go?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:46.75,0:04:58.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[music plays]
Dialogue: 0,0:05:04.65,0:05:10.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So - I am *really* please with how this one\Nturned out! And my conclusion is a definite
Dialogue: 0,0:05:10.50,0:05:11.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[scissors snipping sound effect]
Dialogue: 0,0:05:11.90,0:05:15.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Yeah - you can really easily make this for\Nyourself, even if you're a beginning sewer
Dialogue: 0,0:05:15.09,0:05:20.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,- in fact, if you're new to sewing, I think\Nthat this is a really good project to be one
Dialogue: 0,0:05:20.68,0:05:23.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of your first projects, because you don't\Nhave to sew too much, you're only ever sewing
Dialogue: 0,0:05:23.34,0:05:27.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,straight lines - in fact, considering how\Neasy this is to make, it's kind of outrageous
Dialogue: 0,0:05:27.34,0:05:31.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the amount that I found for it online.\NBut, if you make this for yourself, and even
Dialogue: 0,0:05:31.28,0:05:33.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if you buy all the materials new, you're not\Ngoing to be spending more than $10 or $15
Dialogue: 0,0:05:33.54,0:05:36.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on this.\NSo that's it from me for today! I hope you're
