Coffee Drawstring Bagpack Tutorial
For several years now a hero from our childhood has again stepped into the spotlight: The drawstring backpack. Back then a purely practical object, which was too often carelessly forgotten in the locker room. Now this bag is all grown up and is proudly worn in countless fabrics and patterns. Off course I wanted one too. By chance I came upon my drawstring backpack material when I browsed ebay: a burlap coffee bag! For ten minutes I felt very creative and innovative, but then google put me in my place. I was not the first one, who came up with this idea but I've sewn my coffee bag anyway and I happily wear it every day.

Makin’ Pincushions… Filling up the cushions!
Filling up the cushions!
In this batch I made some regular old tufted tomatoes and a few apple and pear shaped cushions. They all start out the same way. Cut the fabric, interface and stitch. One tip for assembling the cushions: first sew together each half, then sew the halves together leaving a space to insert the filling. It’s the best way to match the points.
Makin’ Pincushions: Assembling the tomatoes
The tomato cushions are a bit more involved to assemble, but they’re my favorite to use. In my example I’m using contrasting yarn to tuft the cushion and I used a shank-style button on the top. It’s a bit easier to tighten and secure the yarn if you use the 4-hole style button on the top, but I like the shank-style buttons more, looks-wise.
Makin’ Pincushions: Trims and stems + Tufting the fruit
Once all of my cushions are filled, they’re ready for trimming! This is my favorite part – I get to paw through my stash of buttons, yarn and felt. I love wool felt – it feels nice an beefy and the colors seem more vivid. I buy most of my wool felt (actually a wool/rayon mix) at Treadle Yard goods in St. Paul. They also carry some nice bamboo/rayon felt that is softer and more flimsy, but comes in great, bright colors. I also use a few flannels and wools for trimming.
