Sweet Sheep Dress Up a Drawstring Bag

Or Omit the Sheep and Let the Fabric Shine!
This charming drawstring bag with its cute sheep is perfect for spring, but you can enjoy it any time of the year. Choose pretty fabrics to feature, and have fun making your one-of-a-kind creation.
The bag can also be made without the sheep, allowing the fabric to shine. Or substitute other applique shapes to make it uniquely yours.
While the size is not specified, the bag designed by Helen Newton is great for quilting, knitting, and crochet projects. It has many other uses, too.

The sheep are outlined with free-motion machine embroidery. However, you can finish the edges with a machine blanket stitch or with hand stitching. A cotton rope works nicely for the drawstring.
PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!
PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources. Please make a note of where you access a pattern (the link in the yellow box toward the end of each Quilting Digest article). That way you can contact Support for that source if you have downloading problems or other issues. Thank you!
