e Position and pin this strip onto the bag so that the ends meet at the front center of the bag, leaving a small opening. Stitch in place to form the drawcord casing (fig. C). r Flip up the drawcord casing. This will cause the seam allowance to naturally fold down toward the body of the bag. Topstitch in place.

t Topstitch the top folded edge of the drawcord casing. y

Cut a 3-inch (9.5 cm) length of wide ribbon.

u Fold one end under and use a sewing needle to attach one part of the snap in place. Stitch the other part of the snap onto the body of the bag (fig. D). i Fold the other end of the ribbon under by inch (6 mm), and attach the ribbon to the bag so that the snaps align. o
