DIY fashion bags (master classes). A time to live and a time not to die How to sew a shopping bag with your own hands

For shopping

Super simple for every day

To make the bag more spacious and look like a package, stitch the bottom corners diagonally, as described in. Then your bag will have a rectangular bottom, and things will not pile up.

Bag-package

The size of the side inserts is calculated by the height of the side sections of the bag part, plus the required width is added, usually 6-8 cm. Folds can be sewn along the top of the side inserts for convenient flat folding. For the bottom, two parts are cut out; their width should be equal to the width of the side inserts, and at least one part of the bottom is duplicated with a gasket, preferably a rigid one (gasket materials can be used). If you don’t have a rigid pad at hand, strengthen both parts with a regular adhesive pad, and between the two parts insert a piece of cardboard cut exactly to the size of the bottom. The top of the bag can be fastened with a zipper. To do this, you need to cut out 2 more strips for facings along the top side of the bag and, on one side, stitch them to the top edge of the bag after hemming along the top edge, and on the other, stitch the zipper tape to them from below.
By the way, there is a simpler pattern for a bag-bag - it is given in. Or by .

Bag with flap

Please note that if desired, the details of the bag can also be rounded, drawn in the shape of a trapezoid, or given any fancy shape, for example, the shape of a butterfly, flower or fruit. You will find the pattern for the curly side part, for example, in.

Bucket bag

Lined bags

Sewing your own bag for cycling is also not a problem, see the description. For active recreation and sports, a pocket bag on the belt is also useful - a small and roomy model, just like a backpack, leaves your hands free, it is better to familiarize yourself with the pattern and sewing in detail, and then choose the right model for yourself.

For relaxing on the beach

And for those who like to relax on the beach doing their favorite handicraft, you just need to sew a model in which you can put everything you need: from scraps of fabric and patterns to scissors, needles, threads and a thimble.

City backpacks

Clutches and evening bags

To sew a couple of dozen different clutches, you can use just a few patterns: from the simplest one to the original clutch or the original soft clutches presented in the master class on sewing three models at once. When sewing such clutches, it is very important to carefully sew on the zipper or make another fastener.

Decor

Pattern

First of all, we build the carcass, the slope of the sides can be varied, the trapezoid can be inverted or at a right angle. The deflection of the upper cut can also be made more or less. There are 2 of these parts made from the outer fabric. Long part - bottom/side. Its length should be greater than the perimeter of the front part by about 3-4 cm, or even more, the width in the widest - lower part is 8-12 cm, in the narrow 3-3.5 cm = the width of the planned handle, in the area We draw the bottom parallel, and then smoothly narrow it towards the top. On the pattern, half of the part, fold in the wide part, cut 1 long part from the top fabric. The length of the facings for the zipper also exceeds the cut on the front part by the same amount as the side section. They can be made simply with straight planks, but I wanted to complicate the shape a little, so in the center of the part they are wider and slightly curved. There are 2 of these parts. made of outer fabric and 2 pcs. from lining fabric. You also need a long strip for the handle, if with an adjustment frame, then 90-100 cm in length and 9-12 cm in width. You don’t have to cut the bell yet, it will need to be specified locally. There will also be belt loops for attaching the handle rings; they are the same width as the handle, 10 cm long, but they can be cut out later. The lining can be cut according to the details of the top, but I like to use two parts, as I showed last time, and also insert a partition pocket there. But I got ahead of myself. So, we build a pattern and select the design and fabrics.

Let's start with lightning. There are four facing parts, two from the outer fabric, quilted with interfacing or simply backed with interlining/dublinin, and two parts from the lining fabric. Zip fastener of appropriate length.

We lay the zipper face to face with the facing of the top fabric, adjust it by installing a half-foot, or a special one for zippers, so that the stitch lies close enough to the zipper spiral. We cover with a lining facing and turn it over, getting into the previous line, and lay a second line. This operation can be carried out in one step with certain dexterity, or by sweeping/chipping first, but this is more familiar to me. Iron from face and back. Repeat the same on the other side of the zipper, add a finishing stitch. Sew along the perimeter to secure the lining, and cut off any excess lining.

Adjust the width of the resulting top part of the bag with the width of the side part.

Let's do the lining. I like to cut it this way, you can insert a partition pocket with a zipper into the seam, and the bag acquires three compartments, on each side of the lining I make another pocket - one with a zipper, one regular patch, which I also divide into two parts, for a mobile or keys and for other small things, but I won’t dwell on this pocket, it’s on the website. You can cut according to a paper pattern, placing a side piece bent along the sides. But I don’t always have a pattern; more often I improvise directly on the blank, so I cut the lining according to the details of the top. It is better not to get attached to the numbers in the photo, but to measure your parts, the principle is that from the cut of the part we set aside half the width of the side part minus the allowance. We design two darts on the curve, calculate their size based on the difference between the contours: subtract the smaller one from the larger one on the lining, divide it in half on the main part of the bag and set it aside evenly. Darts can be replaced with pleats.

Using the main part, we cut out two parts for the partition pocket. Its upper edge is 4-6 cm lower than the top of the bag. I duplicate them with non-woven fabric and cut out two more parts from furniture non-woven fabric (or from another thin sealant). I choose a thin zipper, maybe even a hidden dress zipper.

For the inner pocket with a zipper, cut out two rectangles. Their width should be 3-4 cm longer than the working part of the zipper, and the length of one part is measured along the bag - from the top to the bottom seam (we take into account the curvature of the top and give a margin), and the shorter one - from the location of the pocket to the bottom plus allowances. However, if the fabric allows, you can cut out the pocket lining in one long piece, then there will be a fold at the bottom. I used a shirt as the lining of my bag (you should have seen my husband’s eyes when he caught me cutting out his shirt

Welt pocket with zipper. We reinforce the location of the pocket with non-woven fabric, and draw the outline of the pocket along the non-woven fabric.

On the front side we place a rectangle of the pocket lining (smaller) so that it overlaps the intended entrance by 1-1.5 cm in height and symmetrically to the ends of the pocket in width. We pin it and sew a rectangle along the contour, the stitch length is short. Carefully cut between the lines, at the ends of the pocket we cut into a corner, without cutting a couple of threads to the line. We turn the lining inside out, make a slit, and iron it. We put a zipper under it, pin it or baste it. We lay a stitch, it is advisable to place the foot for sewing in the zipper, or move the needle so that the foot goes along the edge of the zipper, and the stitch is 1.5 mm from the edge. Turn it over and cover it with the second piece of the pocket lining, positioning it so that it fits into the top seam of the bag, this will strengthen the pocket. We pin and stitch both pieces of the pocket lining along the top edge of the frame without touching the bag lining. We trim the pocket around the perimeter and sew together both pieces of the lining. Sew the lining along the top edge to the lining of the bag, cut off the excess fabric. That's it, the pocket is ready.

Internal partition pocket. The processing of this pocket is similar to the processing of zipper strips. In the same way, in two steps we sew a zipper between the parts of the top and lining of the pocket.

We iron and sew a finishing stitch along the seam where the zipper is sewn in, be it straight or curly. Fold along the zipper and stitch around the perimeter of the pocket burlap, trimming off the excess fabric.

We take the details of the bag's lining, sew darts on them and iron the allowances so that on opposite parts they look in different directions, for example, on one part towards each other, and on the other in different directions. This is necessary in order to avoid thickening, because there will still be a partition between them. Then we fit our partition pocket onto one of the lining parts, aligning the cuts and the centers of the sides, while the lining itself will fold into a bag, as it were, there will be excess inside, this is normal, this is how it should be.

I'll torment you a little more with small details. I just don’t like to be distracted by them later, when it’s time to sew them onto the bag, the process starts to accelerate and I want to finish it quickly. And one more distraction, I don’t sew everything as sequentially as I show, it’s just so that you don’t get into trouble by shuffling everything into sections. But in reality everything looks like this, mixed

All the parts are first marked, pinned and sent in a heap to the machine, then she sat down, stitched, threw everything onto the ironing board, ironed it, transferred it to the cutting table, marked and pinned the next step, and again at the machine. If a large machine is set to thick, then it chews a thin lining, or you want a figured stitch, then I have both machines at work, Janomka and Protex. So, the handle-belt. I found such a braid, and it was exactly a meter long; I’ve been wanting to attach it somewhere for a long time. I no longer have the main fabric, I found polyester of a similar color and glued it with dublin. The width of the braid is 3.5 cm, since the fabric is thin, I decided to make a triple layer of fabric on the belt; if you have thick fabric, then two layers are enough. On the wrong side of the part I marked an ironing line equal to the width of the braid and equal to the width of the finished belt. I ironed it along this line, then folded it over and ironed it again. I ironed the remaining fabric again, leaving this cut open, it will be covered with braid. I pin the braid and double-stitch it on each side.

Let's continue with small details. Loops for attaching the handle. I still had a piece from the pen, there wasn’t enough tape for it, but that’s okay. I cut off one bend, the belt loop will fold in half again, we don’t need the extra thickness. Stitched with curly lines

We cut the strip into two belt loops. We will need metal fittings - rings or half rings and a frame with a jumper to adjust the length of the belt, the width should correspond to the length of the belt. If there is no frame, you can take two half rings, or find a buckle of this width and remove the needle from it. We thread the rings into the belt loops and sew them in half 2-2.5 cm from the ring.

If the belt loop is too thick and tight, then it is better to stitch it like this, with a step.

We put the frame on one side of the belt so that the jumper is on the wrong side, fold the seam allowance and sew it with a double tack stitch.

We thread the belt through the ring and tuck it into the frame. We sew a second ring onto the other end of the belt, folding the seam allowance to the wrong side and securing it with a double tack stitch.

The only small detail left is the bell, but we need to try it on the bag, so let's get to the bag. It’s better to sew the side part first, I did it differently and then it was inconvenient for me to sew the lining, so a bunch of photos went into the trash, I’ll fix this step in the next bag. So, we pin the sidewall-bottom to the main part, aligning the middle, making notches on the curves. We release the excess length upwards, making sure that this excess is the same on both sides. First, we attach one side and immediately make a finishing stitch, an allowance towards the sidewall. Then we sew on the second side, stitch the finishing side, it’s not entirely convenient, but it’s doable. Not all machines will agree to sew such a thickness, something like this can happen, well then we just iron or press the seam allowance, you can sew it from the inside out with your hands.

2.

In the place where the three seams will converge, we make a notch on the side part, and cut out the extra allowances.

Aligning the middles of the parts, we sew on the upper part - strips with zippers. When we pass the notch, we tighten it a little so that the notch and the end of the seam completely go under the stitching.

We sew the lining to the same seams. The side seams of the lining can be sewn in advance, just remember to leave a hole for turning the bag inside out, and not a very small one.

First, turn the bag with the lining outward and sew off the seam for sewing on the trims. If you open the zipper, it is very convenient to stitch from the beginning to the end of the seam.

We secure the zipper so that the slider does not run away, align the top and secure it with a stitch.

We sew up the hole in the lining, first from the inside, as far as possible, the remaining area with a seam along the edge or by hand.

One last push left! Now you can try on the paper pattern of the bell, it should not be stretched, but it should not stick out like a skirt, in my bag the side part came out a little wider and I had to add 1 cm at the bottom. There are already allowances on the pattern. We cut out 4 parts, two from the top fabric, two from the lining. We fold it face to face and grind along the rounded side, cutting the seam allowance to 0.3-05 cm, depending on the flowability of the fabric. Turn it onto the face and iron it with a small edge onto the lining.

Lay it out lengthwise, check the width at the top along the belt loop, sew one long seam, fold the seam allowance to the lining. Using the tip of the iron, on the edge of the board, so as not to wrinkle, iron the seam.

First turn it inside out, iron the edge again, and sew a finishing stitch along the edge. Turn it inside out, trim the top edge, and place the seam in the center.

On the belt loops, you can draw an auxiliary line at the distance of the foot from the stitching. We put the bell, turned inside out again on the lining, face to face with the belt loop, place the stitching seam of the bell on the wrong side of the belt, align the edge of the bell with the drawn line and attach it.

You can do this knot a little differently, it seemed easier to me. We bend the belt loops with a shift, leaving a step of 1.5 cm, and sew on the foot from the top edge. Then we put on the bell, align its cut with the stitching, and sew on the bell.

Now we take our design, insert the edge of the bag between the two sides of the belt loop, overlap 1-1.5 cm, and sew it back and forth several times. My Dzhanomka even reluctantly agreed to sew a zigzag along this place, but she will hold on even without the zigzag. Bend the bell over your face and admire it!

Alternative: We put the edge of the bag on the step of the belt loop, end-to-end with the smaller edge, adjust it, it turns out to be one less layer, but there are more open edges, you have to lay two zigzag lines.

In general, the bag is already ready, but I wanted to make one more useful thing, the fact is that the zipper goes somewhere under the bell, and the slider has to be pulled out from there every time, so I made another keychain. These are the scraps, quilted from the side, I folded two parts inside out, put a cord between them, and drew an arbitrary shape. Then, as with postcards, first a straight stitch, then cut off all the excess and went through a thick zigzag. I hung it on the slider.

A universal selection of gift ideas for any occasion and occasion. Surprise your friends and loved ones! ;)

Greetings to everyone gathered now on the blog! Today I will tell you how to decorate your life and the lives of those around you with the help of such a simple item as a handmade bag.

There are a lot of bags, handbags, clutches, etc., etc. sold in stores. But it’s so great to do something like this yourself, to experience the process of creating a product, right? Many will agree with me, I think. Therefore, today we will make a bunch of handbags, cute and funny)

How to sew a bag with your own hands

First of all, I suggest you sew a cute fluffy handbag that you can give to a little girl or girl.

List of materials:

• faux fur (for the outer part of the bag);
• fleece (for lining and for covering buttons);
• threads in the color of the fabric;
• two round buttons;
• two small white rhinestones or half beads;
• padding polyester;
• paper for patterns;
• needle;
• second glue;
• pencil;
• pins (for pinning patterns);
• scissors.

You can download patterns for the future bag here: eyelet And the basis. Let's deal with them.

What kind of patterns are there:

1. one-piece bag pattern (lid + back) - the entire pattern area;
2. the front of the bag is everything below the side insert;
3. width of the side insert - we will sew the side part into the bag, this is its width. The length is the length of the outline of the front (excluding the straight top).

As for the side insert: it should consist of two equal parts, the direction of the pile of which will be directed against each other. But this is only for fur! From fleece, simply cut one strip of the required width; you can ignore the direction of the pile.

How to sew a bag: a detailed master class

First of all, we will work on the side of our product.

Take two pieces of fur side and sew them together along the edge. Sew them so that the pile of the pieces is directed towards each other.

Why do I suggest doing this? I answer: fur has a long pile, which should go in one direction. And this can be achieved just by sewing two pieces together

Trim off any excess. And sew the side part to the front of our future bag.

Now let’s sew on the back of the bag! The lid is already in sight

Trim the edges of the seam allowance. See why:

By the way, here's the back view of the bag:

Sew a fleece “handbag” in exactly the same way. This will be the lining - the inside of the bag.

How to sew a lining to a bag? To begin, place the fleece and fur parts with the right sides facing inward.

This photo seems to make it clearer

And just sew the covers of both parts together.

Screw the inside into the bag.

Sew the remaining edges with a blind stitch.

To decorate our bag, I suggest you cut out these ears:

This is how you should get them:

Now let's make a strap for the bag. To do this, cut three strips of fur of such length that it will be convenient for you to then put the strap on your shoulder. Weave them into a braid (tie at the end and at the beginning so that it does not come apart).

Remember we left holes for fasteners? Now you need to insert the resulting braid into them and carefully sew it up with a hidden seam.

But our bag doesn’t have fastenings yet! There are several options: you can sew in a zipper (which is better to do earlier), you can use Velcro and buttons.
I decided to go with the last option.

Cut two black circles larger in diameter than the button from black fleece and take the button.

Place a little padding polyester on the button.

And into a fleece circle, along the edge of which run a running stitch without securing:

Put them together.

And pull the thread.

The button to secure the bag at the back should look something like this:

Glue a small rhinestone highlight on the front.

Now place the clasp on the lid of the bag to see where you will need to cut the loop.

Draw a line down the center of where you want the button to be. Make a cut along the drawn line.

To make the cut beautiful and neat, sew it with a buttonhole stitch so that each stitch fits as closely as possible to the previous one.

This is what the bag will look like after finishing:

Sew button eyes to the bag:

Well, now let's get back to the ears! Fold and hem their edges.

And sew them where you would like them to be.

Ta-dam! The bag is ready. It turned out to be a cute kitty)

DIY leather bags

Leather is one of the most interesting and durable materials for sewing bags. Therefore, I present to your attention several master classes using this material.

Bag - cat

For this simple but very cute model (somewhat reminiscent of the previous one), you will need leatherette, scissors, an awl, thread and a thick needle.

This can be worn by both a young girl and a small child.

The simplest leather bag

No, you definitely need to get one. You will need leather, scissors, a strap, tape, a marker and (optional) a special tool for cutting several holes in a row (you can get by with an awl). All you really need to do is cut out a circle, make holes, pull the ribbon through them and attach a strap. All)

Envelope

Reminds me of the processing method of a cat bag.

Chanterelle

A lovely model)) Prepare leather or thick leatherette, braid and rivets for it. You don’t have to sew the chanterelle, just glue it along the edges and hide these places under the braid.

DIY jeans bags

However, the following models can be made from both jeans and old jeans.

Network

For this, cut the jeans into strips and weave the fabric, as in the photo. Sew it together in a bag (folding a piece of fabric in half) and sew on the handles.

Simple Denim Bag

There is a denim leg - go to the production of a bag! You will also need a buckle, a leather strap, scissors and thread with a needle.

Elegant handbag made of jeans

Here you will need two trouser legs, scissors, thread with a needle and a zipper.

DIY fabric bags

Rectangular

For it, take several pieces of cotton fabric, a zipper and accessories.

Clutch

An interesting idea is to use thick pieces of processed cardboard for the lining. I would recommend using plastic boards from Fix Price or juice packaging as a thick base.

Present such a handbag to your mother - she will definitely be happy))

Clutch in a semicircle

Cut two round pieces of cotton fabric and a circle of padding polyester from the fabric. Fold them into a “sandwich” and sew several times at right angles. Sew around the edge with bias tape. Fold the piece in half and sew a zipper into the bag. Decorate.

Handbag

This is where cotton fabric, lining, fasteners and floral decorations come in handy. A young lady, say 17 years old, will definitely appreciate such a gift.

Sportswear bag

For it, prepare thick fabric, braid, scissors, pins, fasteners, zipper and thread. In addition to sportswear, you can also put camping things in this bag.

Mini handbag

Using the scheme described below, you can make both a very miniature accessory and a larger item.

Remaking old things

For the first of two photo workshops you will need a long soft cloth bag, and for the second - an old T-shirt.

Photos of handmade bags

I want to show you how using the same patterns you can get many bright and unusual products.

Sandwich bag

Cute handbag made of fleece. It's quite simple! And this design can easily be implemented into a cat bag.

Panda bag

Cute panda design

Simple and elegant bag

The handbag is quite simple and is made according to similar patterns from the very first one.

Knitted bag

Although this bag is knitted, its design can easily be implemented in fabric.

Leather bag

Octopus bag

The bag, again, is knitted. But it is very similar to the first one (at the beginning of the article). You just need to add tentacles to it and remove the ears.

By the way, I bought fleece for the eyes of the “cat” bag Here. You're unlikely to see one like this in a store.

This concludes the article. I hope you enjoyed looking at all the bags and took something interesting for yourself. See you soon!
