Cotton Drawstring Bag: Plain Cotton Sewn into a Bag with a Cord in a Casing
A cotton bag closed by a drawstring: a cord threaded through a casing, a tube of cloth sewn along the top, that gathers the mouth shut when pulled. Plain-weave cotton lets air through, so it suits storing and sorting dry things.
The picture: our diagram, the sewn piece and the finished bag.
