What You'll Need Materials Drawstring bag Pins Cotton webbing Sewing machine Iron Instructions Snip the bottom seam off the drawstring bag. Fold the edge in 1½ inches, pin, and iron to create smooth out creases. To attach the strap, pin the ends of a 30-inch-long piece of cotton webbing onto opposite sides of the bag. Machine-sew a simple straight hem around the edge; reinforce the strap by sewing a rectangle where the webbing and fabric meet.
