Weave in ends


DRAWSTRING - Shoulder straps - MAKE TWO (2)

Lay bag out flat, and measure the length of the bag and the width of the bag, multiply by 2, and add 3in (7.5cm).  The result will be the length of your drawstring.  You will need to make 2.

Chain until your chain measures the length needed for drawstring. 
Sc in back bump of chain to end.  
Fasten off, weave in ends.

WEAVE DRAWSTRING INTO DRAWSTRING ENCLOSURE through the drawstring openings at each side.  Using a safety pin in one end of drawstring, feed one drawstring into the opening on left-hand side of bag, all the way around, exiting in the same opening.  



Take both ends down the outside of the bag and feed through Rnd 7 (as shown) and out at bottom of bag through the foundation loop.  Tie a knot in the drawstring approximately two (2) inches from the end.  

NOW repeat the same process, and feed the second drawstring through the drawstring enclosure, from the right-hand side of bag, and attach to bottom in same way.
Tighten the opening by pulling on the drawstrings and check the length of the shoulder straps, check you can comfortably get your arms through.  If too long - retie the knot at the bottom of drawstring ends.
