What’s so good about a draw string bag? It’s perfect for holding all your little knick-knacks and great for little kids to store all of their little treasures. I used to love having a bag for all my toys when I was younger, like jack & balls, puzzle pieces, or just random collections of *stuff*.
This tutorial is for a simple bag with French seams.
Bowling Kitty Set - $40
What have we been up to? Making Bowling Kitties! Ben does all the woodworking and I do the drawstring bags. A friend recently let us borrow more professional woodworking tools so hopefully we’ll be making a ton of them soon. My contribution to the set is making the bags.
Cutting the bags out of medium weight cotton canvas
40 bags all cut out!

All 40 pieces printed with help of Gocco & "ink for cloth"
The next blog post will be a tutorial on how to make a simple draw-string bag (e.g. the Bowling Kitty storage bag). Til then!
In addition to chalkboard kitty (which is now cut out in wood- Just needs to be sanded and painted and assembled…….) we’re doing a new item- a bowling set! I am very excited for it.
We have big plans for these little ones… now if only we can make more time to finish them.
The front ‘pin’ is a test that Ben did. I was thinking we could offer them in natural wood finish and also in limited edition painted versions. It would be fun to continually think of new themes. Ben and I tossed around a few ideas… Alice in Wonderland, Star Trek, Harry Potter, bowling pins….
Submit an idea to us and maybe we’ll use it!
The background signage is what we will be using for our craft show. It’s chalkboard paint on one of Ben’s handmade and stretched canvases. The little front painted wood piece is for the price, which is yet to be determined.
Here’s another photo with our new signage + the Boo Boo Kitties.

My intention is to share something positive and honest with you.
