Quick and Fun Drawstring Backpack! Let’s Make The Merida Drawstring Bag from I Think Sew!

This might be my favorite quick-sew! Especially for younger people :) This drawstring bag from I Think Sew comes together quickly and has a couple extra features to make it far more than basic. This is a great bag to make for back to school, sleepovers, vacations.... everything!

I hope you love making this as much as I do! Make sure to share your photos on social media and tag me! I'm OklaRoots on Instagram and Facebook.
