- And if you want something more interesting, then you can take a ready-made pattern as a basis. It can be printed and cut in advance. And you can draw it yourself on paper, changing and adjusting the sizes for yourself, observing the original proportions. For more convenient use, the pattern is recommended to be done on thick cardboard . So it is easier to use when cutting fabric. And you can use it repeatedly to create future masterpieces. Options for patterns for creating a do-it-yourself bag-bag can be selected from the following examples.
Step-by-step sewing instructions
IMPORTANT! Do not forget that the finished product will be slightly less due to the cost of material on the seams. Therefore, if the exact size of the finished bag is important, then allowances of 1.5–2 cm should be made.
- Using the sharp scissors, we cut out the basis of the future bag according to the marked markings.
- We also make a blank from the lining fabric and cut it out. This will be the inside of our bag. Therefore, it should be slightly less external.
- Fold the front part of the bag base. Dock the edges according to the selected pattern . For convenience, you can fasten the material with pins or manually lay a loose stitch.
- We do a neat line on the sewing machine . We pull out the pins or the thread of the fastening line and turn it on the front side.
- Repeat the steps with the inside of the bag : fold, fasten, stitch.
- If the handles for the bag are sewn on their own, then we cut out rectangular fabric strips of fabric about 30 cm long or about 7 cm wide from the fabric. Fold along, sew and twist.
IMPORTANT! You can use ready-made options for bag handles: thick cord, chain, ribbons, braid or pigtail made of fabric.
- Insert the lining fabric into the blank face up. We mark the places of attachment of the handles.
- We fasten the lining fabric with pins to the main fabric, bending inward and grabbing the bottom of the handles. Then we sew them in a circle.
Before the first publication, it is recommended, if necessary, to wash the finished product in order to get rid of traces of chalk. Dry the bag well on a horizontal surface, pass through wet gauze.
