These 2 drawstring bags are class projects of the Craftsy online class (Bag making). I really enjoyed the videos. Planning to finish the bucket bag portion this coming weekend.

Fabric Drawstring Bags are the perfect alternative to plastic bags for produce, bulk groceries, shoe bags, wine and gift wrap. You’ll learn two clever methods for making them, including a quick two-for-one version and another version that has a double drawstring for extra security. No pattern needed, you can make these in any size! Let’s reduce our single use plastic consumption by making cute drawstring bags for all occasions.

I make no apologies for including so many images of this puzzle: it's from a new British manufacturer so I think it deserves a little more attention.
I saw a mention of Sylva Puzzles in a Facebook group so headed to their website. Only one image appealed: this one; the rest are modern subjects.
So I took the plunge and ordered, assuming that being British, it would arrive fairly quickly.
Unfortunately, what they don't make clear is that they don't (so far) keep stocks in UK; their puzzles are made in China, so delivery took longer than I'd anticipated.
Communication was haphazard - I got an email asking my opinion of the puzzle a few days before it arrived, and then another telling me delivery was imminent after it had supposedly travelled from China to the USA!
Needless to say I was amazed when it turned up the following day!
So what's my opinion of the puzzle itself?
Let's start with the cardboard box it was sent in. Some outer damage (possibly down to Evri's 'careful' (!) handling, but nothing too bad.
Now to the puzzle box itself. A badly dented lid (see photo) and a small dent to the corner of the box base - probably due to Evri's handling. I can put up with this, it's too much trouble to ask for it to be rectified and doesn't affect the puzzle.
The box is actually quite sturdy, but twice the size it needs to be. A couple of cards were inside with some information about the artist and the company, and the pieces themselves, housed in a velvety drawstring bag, all gave the impression of a quality item. My only gripe here is the poor print quality on those cards, the spelling could be better, too.
Now for the puzzle itself: and here's where I want to heap praise where it's due! Wonderfully thick pieces, heaps of clever and imaginative whimsies, and a fiendishly irregular border, made for a couple of days' fun.
So all in all, I have to say I'm pleased with my purchase, but with reservations; perhaps once they've sorted out their teething problems and maybe started to hold stocks in UK I may be tempted to buy from them again.
I've made this drawstring bag for my daughter and we made a label so that everyone knows what to stash away in there.
The words were stitched by Cupcake Princess...she's turning into a really good embroiderer.

Made following this tutorial from In Color Order.
I plan to make one for all four kid's birthdays this summer.
Fabrics: Remix from Ann Kelle, Spring Street from Carolyn Gavin, LouLouThi from Anna Maria Horner,
The presents are piling up. I like the way that these fabric bags look. They are made out of some ticking and although they are not overtly festive, they look the part and can be reused for any occasion

A big cherry blossom shaped drawstring bag with beautiful Japanese kimono fabrics. A small flower bloomed on the end of the strings★
I usually make little one for sachet but someone suggested me to make bigger one. So here is!!
This is a big enough to put your cosmetic things, mobile phone etc...you can still use this for sachet :)
This bag fascinate all of your friends!
The material is called Chirimen, a special crepe a little heavier than normal fabric used in making Kimono.
I made these a few weeks ago for project "Organize the Basement." I love that there are actually city blocks, cars, and trains in the bags. :)
Thanks, again, Jeni for the tutorial.

Here's another example of the many colors of cotton soap sacks I make.
This one said "Spring" and "Easter" to me.
The bags' usefulness is not limited to soap. I went to a Solstice Festival in June (LOTS of fun!) and, uhm, much comment was made about how these would be nice for storing ... a certain type of smokable substance.
I finally worked out a response of "Sir/Ma'am, you can use this for whatever you like! I can't speak to whether any leaf fragments will fall out or not .. I use my bag in the shower with soap ..."
It was greatly amusing, I must say.

When you are finished, tie the ends into a knot. I like to use a slip knot.
A toy bag with a clever little window so that he easily find his Lego guys. I made him one for his birthday last summer and he liked it so much he asked for another one for Christmas.
I followed this pattern: tonicoward.blogspot.com/2010/06/peek-boo-toy-sack-tutoria...
Can you guess what this holds?
Used Jeni's awesome tutorial:

Enlarged & modified the Day Bag pattern by Nicole Mallalieu with drawstring closure & an elastic pocket for ipad...my favorite knitting tool! This was an experiment that still needs a little work...I don't like zipper closures for knitting bags since I always zip my yarn into the zipper at some point but I think this drawstring top is a little too big for this bag & wish the bag was a little bigger.

With a few minor changes:
Added simple packets inside.
The fairies are hand-embroidered using simple back stitch.
The monograms are machine applique using blanket stitch.
