Sewing an easy travel drawstring laundry bag that’s waterproof is a practical and beginner-friendly project, perfect for keeping dirty clothes separate and contained while you’re on the go. Designed with function and simplicity in mind, this bag features a spacious interior and a classic drawstring closure that makes it quick to open and cinch shut—ideal for tossing in used clothes during trips, gym sessions, or beach days. Using waterproof or water-resistant fabric like ripstop nylon, PUL (polyurethane laminate), or even a shower curtain liner ensures that moisture and odors stay sealed inside, protecting the rest of your suitcase or car from dampness and mess. While I have shared some purse DIY tutorials before, this bag is lightweight, folds down flat when empty, and can be tossed into your luggage without taking up much room. A reinforced casing for the drawstring helps it hold up to frequent use, and you can even add a loop or strap for hanging it on a hook or door handle. Personalize it with color-coded fabric, fun prints, or labels for each family member, especially if you’re making multiple bags. In just about an hour, you can create a reusable, eco-friendly solution that makes travel more organized and laundry less of a hassle—whether you’re on vacation, camping, or just heading to the gym. This drawstring travel laundry bag will hold your dirty clothes in a suitcase, to keep them separate from the clean clothes. It’s an easy DIY sewing project that you can use for travel and also at home.
