DescriptionDraw string bag made of hand-stitched, plain-woven brown cotton. The bag is made in two pieces. A circular piece forms the bottom of the bag. A second piece was stitched all around the edge of the first piece, then it was stitched up the side. The top half inch of the bag was folded over and stitched with brown thread to for a hem. A brown tape draw string is housed inside the hem. The top of the bag is somewhat gathered, giving the bag a textured appearance.
