DIY felt bags

The bag is not only beautiful, but also a very useful accessory that allows you to create a graceful and elegant look.

The wide range of bags provided in the modern market is amazing. But it’s not always possible to find exactly what you need.

In this case, you can try to sew the accessory yourself. You don’t need to buy expensive additional materials, as well as vast experience in the field of sewing.

Necessary materials

In order to sew a small cute handbag you will need:

  • felt and transparent organza;
  • glue;
  • lining fabric;
  • fishing line;
  • lightning;
  • non-woven;
  • scissors;
  • optional drawing;
  • water soluble marker;
  • sewing machine.

When all the necessary materials are ready, you can begin to work.

Important! Flizelin and a marker will be required in order to apply any pattern to the fabric. If you want to sew a plain bag, then you will not need them. The picture can be any, downloaded from the Internet or drawn by you yourself. Thus, you can emphasize your personality and make the thing more original.

How to sew a bag from felt with your own hands?

Sewing will occur in several stages. It is important to carefully follow the correct algorithm and be careful not to spoil the product. In addition to having to redo it, you can waste some amount of material.

Outer bag

First, transfer the pattern to the fabric using a non-woven fabric and a marker.

This is necessary in order to correctly determine the future size of the product. Then we make the first cut, stitching along the contour.

We offer several different patterns for bags made of felt.

Put the pattern on the fabric and add to the desired size also a few centimeters, which will be used during the stitching of parts.

The back side will consist of felt and organza. While you are doing the stitch in free travel, the front part will dry and you can fill the pattern with thread like embroidery.

Then proceed to the pattern of all the details of the thing. Please note that tucks will be needed. Lining parts are likewise executed.

Sew a zipper

Many novice craftswomen think that sewing on a zipper is a difficult thing, which can only be done by more experienced craftswomen. But this is not so. The stages of work depend on the choice of the style of the bag and the location of the zipper, for example, on the side of the bag.

Felt lined and zipped stitch

After that, turn out the product and give it a shape using the block . Sew tucks through the hole in the lining.

It remains only to tuck the tail of the zipper under the lining.

Think about what length will be convenient, do not overdo it, otherwise the zipper will stretch and the bag will look ridiculous.

Now we sew the hole in the lining. The product is ready!

With this simple algorithm, you can sew a bag of any color for yourself and it is with such a pattern that fits the dress or just pleases the eye.
