What will be needed for work
It is important to determine the style and color before starting work, and then - find the desired scheme.
Advice! It is better to choose a specimen with a soft form and simple elements. It is possible to use both the front and the back part of the material for work.
For needlework to be productive, you should enlarge the scheme to the appropriate size and print it. It is advisable to finalize the drawn plan, taking into account your own growth.
To work, you will need:
- a piece of fabric for the lining of the same size;
- paper for a pattern;
- accessories - lock, accessories, fasteners, zippers;
- sewing machine and a set of threads;
- masking tape;
- chalk and pen or marker;
- sewing pins;

Attention! Suede is a dressing of genuine leather in an unusual way. It is important to carefully trace and cut parts, taking into account possible shrinkage of the material. If you are taking material from a former jacket, you need to carefully examine it for scuffs, burnout, or holes.

Handbags with zippers never go out of style. The main thing is to pick up a zipper of a similar color with the main tone of suede.

Self-made suede bag models
Most handbags are stitched according to similar simple patterns; volumes vary according to the individuality of the owner and color.
For shopping
4 rectangles are cut, a pair for the main sides, a pair for pens. Then the rectangles are sewn together, the lining is sewn inside.
Parts are sewn on top for holding. Then decorative elements are attached. So it turns out the most common accessory for shopping.
On every day
Instead of two handles, one is sewn, but long. Its length should be enough to hang on the shoulder or throw over it. Often these are two rectangles stitched together, or a full thing with a bottom and sides. As decorative elements, fringe, beads, pieces of different fabric or leather are used.
So that it does not look like a regular bag on your shoulder, you can sew the lower corners diagonally. So the bottom will become rectangular. Side inserts, if decided to use them, are usually narrow. They are calculated by the height of the lateral sections of the main elements, the standard width does not exceed 6–8 cm. If you put a stiffer frame on the bottom before stitching the lining, the specimen will not lose shape.
Bag bag
A soft shape with a solid shoulder strap is also popular.
You can use one piece of suede or combine several. In the original form, 2 rectangles of a suitable size and a long strip of fabric are taken, which will be from the bottom to the bottom of the bag, and in the upper part - a strap. The strip is stitched. The seam should be at the bottom corner so that it turns into an inconspicuous one. Rectangles are sewn inside out to a strip, a lining is sewn. An additional piece of fabric is sewn to the future handle from the inside to make it double and more durable.
