How to sew a bag quickly and economically?

Those who once tasted the joy of creativity, I want to again create with my own hands a unique thing. Needlework not only makes it possible to be original, but also helps to save considerably.

Women do not already think of their existence without a bag. Large and small, winter and summer, classic and extravagant, bags and handbags, they always rivet our eyes. How to sew a bag with your own hands?

The optimal and very economical option for a youth bag is old jeans clothes. Before you start work, jeans, a skirt or a jacket, you need to wash. Raspryvat them, of course, very dreary, so just cut the seams, leaving decorative seams and decoration. Choose the most preserved parts, which have a decent appearance. Having prepared the material for work in this way, we start modeling.

When I had to decide how to sew a bag of jeans for my daughter, I just took a leather bag and built a paper pattern according to its size. If desired, you can increase or decrease the capacity of the bag due to side parts and the bottom of the bag. I made the lining for the bag from the old raincoat.

For sewing it took me extra: a large zipper for a bag and a lightning for the pocket (flipped from old jeans), four rings for bag handles, an applique "smiley" made of fabric (bought in dry goods). Before I sew a bag, I made a technological map for myself. When I thought it all on paper, the bag was sewn very quickly.

On one side of the bag looks at us a "smiley", tuned to a square of denim fabric around the edges of which is made a fringe. On the other hand - an ornamental pocket with a small zipper from old jeans. The cost of a denim bag is 250 rubles. A daughter's girlfriends expressed a lot of compliments about our author's model.

Now I'm thinking about how to sew a bag for the summer. I really like bags with decorative trim from a variety of braid, beads, sequins and stuff. Having traveled to the shops, she came up with a new model. I will buy a jacket fabric of an interesting texture. It will require only 80 cm. The bag will resemble a briefcase, only the handles are long and sewn on the sides. On the valve of the portfolio I will tune the tape that matches the color, I will sew beads. Is it really difficult? Not at all. But I will save at least one thousand rubles from the family budget.

Another idea is how to sew a summer bag for the beach. A wide range of furniture fabrics is amazing with texture and color scheme. It will take 50 cm to sew a simple flat bag. This beach bag will be quite strong.

And the daughter asks to sew a bag for a bag. I chose a fabric - plashevka. Invented the model, made a pattern. The bottom of the bag is a circle. Measured the length of the circle, divided into four parts. She built a trapeze on paper: the top side is ¼ of the length of the circle, and added five centimeters to the base. It's a wedge. Its height depends on your desire. There are four such details. The pen is measured individually. We cut out the details with allowances for seams in a half centimeter.

Let's make a technological map of tailoring.

A) We sew the wedges to each other with the seams outside. Cut the seams to 0.7 cm, smooth it on both sides, we sew decorative braid on each seam.

B) Sew the bottom to the bag, also the seam to the outside. After we cut the seam, wrap it with braid and stitch it in the edge.

B) We process the upper edge of the bag with decorative braid.

D) From the top of the bag retreat ten centimeters down, mark the horizontal line. Adjust the braid from the outside so that it breaks in two opposite places. Stretch through the braid handle of the bag, sewn from the plashevki. The ends of the handle are sewn together, hidden under the braid. Pull out the handles on both sides, tighten the bag.

E) If desired, you can decorate wedges with wooden beads or buttons of different sizes.

I think that my daughter will be satisfied. Will you try to sew together with me?
