I recently looked for this pattern and googled it on-line. Found a tutorial that did a nice job of showing how to make the drawstring bag. As a family consumer science teacher, I used the same pattern to make a bag with my six grade students. They loved them. I make them for my little grandkids, and they call them their "Grandma bags." Great project to learn with.

Does this make sense?
