It's lovely to hear that you've made these with kids.<br /><br />From the tutorial... <i>The cords might be a little hard to pull the first couple of times. If you find this happens, just pull and loosen a couple of times.</i>. I find that once I've done this a few times, there's no problems. If the kids have sewn the casing so the stitching is not close to the edges, this would make the casing narrower and harder to pull the cords. If you find it's not satisfactory, you could substitute the material cord for a ready made round cord, which I would think would cause less friction as the cord is being pulled. There's a lot of fabric when it's pulled closed, so it's not a tightly closing bag.<br />Hope this helps. I couldn't find an email address to reply directly to.Pam @Threading My Wayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15990609128028224347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4035755590833291625.post-49433994041500795702013-09-17T13:10:35.082+10:002013-09-17T13:10:35.082+10:00My children's sewing class made these this wee...My children's sewing class made these this week. Thanks for the tutorial. However, they seem awkward to close and don't cinch very tightly. It makes me wonder if we did it right. We have to pull the cords and pull down on the bag at the same time. Any tips?

The casing ends up being a little under 1" <i>(.75")</i> when sewn and ready to be attached to the bag. You can of course make the width smaller or larger, depending on the size of the drawstrings you will be using.Pam @Threading My Wayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15990609128028224347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4035755590833291625.post-89677969709360522152013-08-07T08:49:10.168+10:002013-08-07T08:49:10.168+10:00Are the cutting dimensions correct for the casings...Are the cutting dimensions correct for the casings?
