Drawstring bag - take two!

You may have seen my previous post about a drawstring bag I have made (see here http://jayaquiltsandcrafts.blogspot.co.uk/2014/12/drawstring-bag.html , I liked it so much that I made another as a gift bag for some presents that we were leaving for a lovely little girl whose house we stayed in while on holiday.  The pattern was based on the one from this blog: http://www.incolororder.com/2011/10/lined-drawstring-bag-tutorial.html

I found some great "london" themed fabric, London Buildings fabric by Makower, for the bag that coordinated really well with some fabric I found in my stash. I adapted the pattern that I used before (but also made a slight error in my calculations that I had to rectify as I putting it together. But in the end I was pleased with how it turned out.

This time I made the drawstring out of the fabric too and much preferred it to the ribbons that I had used on the previous one.
