The pattern
There are three sizes of the bag included in the one pattern. Here are the sizes:
Small – 9.75″ across x 6.5″ tall
Medium -12″ across x 8″ tall
Large – 15″ across x 10″ tall
The pattern pieces for the small and medium print over two pages each, the large prints on 4 sheets. You can choose to print just one size or print them all. Printing the instructions is optional. You can view them as you sew on a tablet or laptop to follow the instructions, or you can follow along with the sew-along video.
Sewing video tutorial included
The sewing video is also FREE and is perfect for beginners. I take it really slow and go through everything that you would need to know. I assume that you already understand the basics of sewing and how to use your sewing machine, but everything else is covered in detail so you won’t put a stitch wrong and will get the perfect result for your Bampton Drawstring Bag pattern.

I was looking for something new to sew. This pattern is very easy to make and fun to sew. I enjoyed watching the video. It was very helpful. The pouches come out so awesome! I love the shape and how they close tight but open wide. I’ve made all three sizes.

I was so happy to find this pattern! Having three sizes to choose from is a huge plus. I’ve made all the sizes for myself and have started making more for gifts. I watched the video but the directions on their own are easy to follow. I am very pleased with the results!

I love this bag. It’s so much more “roomy” than it looks. I’ve already used one for a Christmas gift & the recipient loved it as well! Easy pattern & instructions Thanks so much!
