Japanese-style bags
Japanese-style models are unique. They transform the style and can beyond recognition change any shape of the bag. At the base of each product is the assembly of the base of fragments of a special shape and size. These are not just small squares or multi-colored stripes: a model often consists of petal wedges containing 8 or more fragments.
The advantage of many patterns is the presence of not only the details of the cut, but also the methods of performing work in the technique of “patchwork”. It is convenient and simplifies the job. Key points proposed in the form of schematic drawings clearly demonstrate the characteristics of tailoring.
It is easy to make a Japanese-style bag, although it will require perseverance and accuracy: each blank should be level with a perfect match of the seams. These workshops will demonstrate the method of assembly of a stylish accessory and show how easy and fun it is.
The basis is to take the cotton fabric of five different, matching colors. This technique requires a ruler and a figure template: a smooth edge is not always enough. So it will be much easier to lay a perfect line.
In addition to the flaps for the top, you will need a gasket (sintepon), lining, a thick cord of viscose, a thin cord for loops, threads.
At the very beginning cut out two identical patterns in the form of a petal. One of them is cut into fragments in accordance with the intended design.
For convenience, you can enumerate each fragment, denoting the front side and the color of the flap.
The following sewing steps:
- Total need collect 6 blanks data from multi-colored rags and cut 6 integral parts of the lining and insulation.
- Having secured the blanks and the amplifier among themselves, they are assembled into a single piece, combining the lateral borders of each fragment.
- The details of the lining are joined, not forgetting to leave a small indentation unstitched (for subsequent inversion), then fold it with the received base with the right sides inside and sew the cut on a typewriter. When connecting the wedges, the seam width of the lining should be 2-3 mm larger than the base.
- After you need to turn out the bag there, decorate the bottom with a decorative flower, which is especially important if the connection of all the elements at the bottom did not work out neat and precise.
- The “handle” of thick cord should be fixed with the help of original loops along the upper edge of the bag. It remains to stretch the cord through them and close the ends of the flower buds.
Original model for travel: master class
Roomy travel bag is relevant out of time. Leather is considered the ideal material for the bag, but the textile model is more mobile and easy to clean.
For sewing accessory is better to use a new fabric. (small cuts of different colors will do). In addition to the base, you need a fabric for the lining, sintepon, textiles for bag handles, leatherette strips and sewing accessories.
So what is next:
- Multicolored stripes sew together, forming two solid canvas of the desired size in the form of a rectangle. Also come with details of the sidewalls.Leather strips are applied to the seams of the flap joint and attached with a decorative stitching.
- After two large and two medium canvases are ready, one will cut out the details of the top of the bag. In addition to the basics, you need to cut out the lining and the gasket using templates. To fix the padding polyester with the base fabric, you can use a special adhesive in the form of a spray. To keep the product in good shape, ready-made canvases are usually duplicated with glue pad.
- To the details of the base, they fasten a zipper, then sew the sidewalls. After that, you need to prepare and sew handles to the front side of the base, without touching the zipper. After collecting the lining, it is connected to the base along the upper edge, then turned on the face. Fashion accessory ready!
Square patchwork
Using this technique, you can sew a neat and, if necessary, roomy model with bag-bag elements.
To create a rectangular accessory you need:
- multi-colored patches in the form of small squares;
- strip of textiles;
- synthetic winterizer;
- bottom sealer;
- decorative tape;
- oblique inlay and sewing accessories.
The squares of the facade are interconnected (10 pieces in 2 rows in front and the same in the back). A strip of fabric is sewn to the bottom cut. The seams are ironed out, then the blades are connected to the sealer using the grinding method.
To make the product look more presentable, it is better to glue the fabric with dulerin before connecting the base and the seal. So the shape of the bag will become tougher.
The sides of the bag grind off, forming a ring. If the design provides for decorative braid, it is crafted to the connection of the base and the lining.
Contrast edging is attached to the upper edge (departing from the edge of the upper edge of the front side, 3 cm). Then collect and sew handles. The lining is cut out in height more (for the lock-curtain). The upper edge stitch seam in the hem, leaving an allowance for threading the lace. Then the lining is connected to the top of the base, threading the cord and fixing its ends with decorative stops.
Measuring the perimeter of the ring, cut out the bottom, connect it to the amplifier and lining, then sew in the bottom of the bag using a slanting inlay. It remains to decorate the model with a ribbon or other decor.
