Recently I made a cute drawstring bag as a gift for my stepson Z who loves sushi.
Z relocated to Portland, Oregon a couple months ago for a big promotion and moved into a new place. John and I wanted to send him a little package of some of his favorite tasty treats to celebrate.
I figured one of my handmade drawstring bags would be the perfect holder for the treats, and I found some cool sushi themed fabric in my fabric stash (who knows where and when I got it)
The treats for Z fit perfectly in the bag:

I had enough left over fabric to make a second one that I might sell someday on my Etsy shop (when I re-open it).


Cute bag. Do you have a pattern for it?

Yes it is a pattern by Sotak Handmade and is called the Drawstring bag – here is a link to her website (she is out of the Netherlands but she sells downloads on Etsy) – https://sotakco.nl/

A perfect bit of customisation! And in very good Japanese tradition too, wrapping something in a reusable container/cloth.

Cute bag! Have you thought of local craft fairs instead of Etsy? Lots of folks seem to do well with craft fairs, presumably at less cost than Etsy.

I agree with Zippy – and I know for certain where you live there are tons of juried (and non-juried) art/craft fairs to choose to apply with (been there done that). The best buying season is coming upon you as we speak!
