Fold the fabric in half lengthwise so that the pattern is on the inside. Make sure the corners are lined up and the fold is straight.
Sew a straight hem 1/2 inch on both the left and right sides, leaving the top open. Trim off the excess fabric.
Fold the top of the fabric over 1 inch so that the pattern side is bordering the top. Sew a 3/4-inch seam from the top of the bag, being careful not to sew through both layers.
Turn the bag right side out.
Cut a small slit in the top fold above the hem line next to the side seam. Repeat on all sides making a total of four cuts.
Lace the shoelace or chord through the slits. Starting with the right-most opening, lace the chord through to the left side and around the outside of the seam. Then lace through the other side. The chord is now a drawstring and the marble sack is complete.
