French Seam Corner on a Drawstring Bag (Keep Prints Right Side Up!)

Learn to sew a french seam corner on a drawstring bag, and keep directional prints right-side up on both sides. This technique also works for tote bags and you can easily adapt patterns by adding extra length to accomodate for a french seam. Most bag tutorials fold the fabric in half, but your pattern ends up upside down on the back if you are working with directional fabrics. By cutting the fabric in two pieces and sewing a French seam along the bottom, you solve the directional print problem AND get a beautifully clean interior finish.
