Bags with their own hands: a step-by-step master class with patterns

For true connoisseurs of exclusive things, nothing is impossible, including the creation of a fashionable handbag. The bag made by own hands will please the eye, much more than the one bought in the store. From what material the bag will be made, what color and shape it should be, make a decision only for you. Even if you are far from the world of design and sewing, try boldly translating your ideas into reality and sewing bags yourself. To do this, you can resort to the help of training videos, and step-by-step master classes with photos that will give confidence in the beginning.

Let's first take a look at the training video:

Where should I start?

So, where to start. First of all, you need to determine what the bag will be used for: you can sew a shopping bag, for everyday outlets, for work, or an evening version - a small clutch bag. Then we move on to choosing the material for the bag. It can be leather, suede, felt and other fabrics for bags. When choosing a skin as a material for a bag, additional training may be required, since it is difficult to sew from the skin. But, in any case, having the right patterns at hand can be successful.

Master class for creating bags for the beach

So, we suggest you see how to sew a bag by yourself: patterns and detailed instructions below.

Sample pattern:

We sew a bag for beach rest, which will be very relevant in the summer, but first let's talk about the choice of material for it. Materials such as suede or leather are unlikely to be appropriate on a hot summer day. The most successful and optimal when choosing linen and cotton. Also need to think about the color of the future bag, the presence or absence of pockets. The size of the bag should not be too cumbersome, but all the necessary things for a walk should be placed without problems.

For a summer bag you will need:

• fabric, depending on the size of the bag, two rectangles of A3 format and two rectangles for handles;
• inner lining;
• thread and needle;
• sewing machine;
• iron;
• decorations for decorating bags.

The pattern for the summer bag is very simple: there are only 4 rectangles, two as bag walls and two as handles. To begin work, you need to carefully pat the fabric, removing all the wrinkles.

First we sew handles - we add a rectangle four times along the length, iron and we scribble on the typewriter, it is desirable to process edges with a zigzag.

Then we add the details of the bag face-down inside, and we spread it on the sides and the bottom, we process the slices, so as not to crumble.

If you are going to make an internal bottom in the bag, you need to sweep the lining of the bag and stitch it.

Now we sew the handles, bend the edges of the bag, apply them to the edges, and stitch the zigzag with a seam, for greater reliability it is possible to sandwich the fabric with a dubbler or other material giving shape if the fabric of the bag is thin.

You also need to stitch the corners of the bag and handle the edges. We turn out the finished bag, and carefully iron it.

If you want the bag to close, you can do it with a zipper, a button or a magnet button. If all this is not at hand, you can from the remnants of the fabric that you used to sew a loop. It will take only one big button, which we sew on the edge of the bag opposite from the loop.

The last step is the decoration of the bag. You can do it in any way that you like. You can attach a key chain, sew an application, make some kind of embroidery or drawing. In general, there is room for imagination and now the question of how to make a bag with your own hands will no longer seem difficult to you. To create other original things and accessories, we suggest you watch a training video that can be found on the Internet.
