Bag do it yourself

One of the most indispensable accessories for a woman of any age is a bag - after all, there are things in it that you can’t go outside - documents, makeup products, work and more. In addition to functionality, the bag should fit the chosen clothes, complement the image and be beautiful. It so happens that it is difficult to find a suitable model in stores, but there is a solution - to make a bag with your own hands, which will also become a reflection of the inner world.

To create a handbag itself today will not provide labor, because we picked up the patterns of any complexity. This will allow you to pamper yourself with a new accessory for a girl with any level of skills in cutting and sewing.

Consider the most interesting options for existing patterns.

She is so named because this small knot is a way of closing and carrying a bag. Its pattern is simple: one part is the side (the main part of the bag, in which things will lie, and two handles, one shorter than the other) and a round bottom-base. You can stitch a model without a base - it depends on individual preferences.

The pattern itself is quite simple, but here you need to be especially careful when connecting the valve to the main part of the bag and inserting the button so that it closes neatly. For such a bag you will also need to sew a lining (it is easily sewn to the main edge of the bag - even better if the lining includes a pocket - it can securely store a mobile phone, keys or documents).

The original decision, which is best to wear in the summer and which will undoubtedly please the children. It is performed by stitching the front and back parts of the "owl", that is, completely repeating the shape of a bird, or using a fabric applique, the pattern of which is simple - the details are successively sewn one on top of the other.

Such an application can be on the valve of the postman's bag, for example, or be a pattern of any existing bag (if the styles match, of course - on an expensive leather model, such an application will hardly look appropriate).

For starters, there is one more convenient solution - to rip the old bag, which you liked, but with which you no longer go out, measure all the parameters of its pattern and alter it from another material, thus giving it a second life.

In the manufacture of bags with their own hands, the choice of material is almost unlimited, here two parameters are taken into account:

• strength (this is the most important, it is usually assumed that the bag will be worn for a long time, and not once);
• Convenience of working with the material (it may happen that the material itself is good, but it does not fit either a specific pattern, or for sewing bags as a whole).

Consider the most common options in the master classes of fabrics and other materials.

"Leader" are bags made from various types of fabric. They can be of different density, structure, colors - in the shops of fabrics there is a huge wealth of choice. Material can choose not only new, but also to find patches of fabric at home.

Patchwork is a fashion trend that has not spared accessories such as bags.

The second most popular material for sewing. Its advantage is that it requires minimal processing of the edges so that they are not sprinkled. Patterns to this material fit the most different, and ready-made bags look pretty rich for models made with your own hands.

Bags of such materials can be worn even in winter. What can look better in winter than fur? It can be either sewn onto an already finished model (made of suede, for example), or it can be the main material that makes up the entire outer part of the bag (do not forget about the lining).

Also from the fur, you can make a key chain for the bag - such options often flash on the shows of new collections.

In addition to the usual materials that are taken for the manufacture of bags, there are also unusual options such as, for example, models of plastic bottles. The material is prepared by cutting off the neck and bottom of the bottles and placing them under a straightening press. Then, depending on the pattern chosen, pieces of the desired size are stitched together with polypropylene threads for durability.

An even more unusual option is the use of garbage bags. Yes, the most common garbage bags, or any other plastic bags. Stripes are cut from them, which are then turned into crochet material.

Bags canvas, or burlap, as they are called - a more familiar option for the eyes. Despite the fact that the fabric itself is rather coarse, with the right tailoring and use of decorative elements, such bags look very feminine and fit to a variety of images. The advantage is their strength.

Such an abundance of materials allows you to individually choose what is suitable for sewing your future bag, depending on its future function, choice of pattern, amount of time and financial possibilities.

Having chosen a suitable material, we proceed to choosing the shape of the product. Of course, it is also limited only by the imagination of the needlewoman and her abilities - these can be forms of different animals (if the bag is sewn for children) or, for example, a musical instrument (violin) and many others. But such models are not always possible to wear every day, regardless of the season, so you should pay attention to more restrained options so that the bag is not only beautiful, but also practical.

The simplest bag pattern is a round bag. It does not require a bottom for itself, and sometimes even the sides, and the sewing process consists of sewing together two symmetrical halves, followed by the addition of handles, fasteners, and various ornaments and ornaments. It is suitable for those who do not like to take a lot of things, because due to lack of a bottom, there will not be much to fit.

Square and rectangular bags - this is one of the most common options. This bag can be of any size and is perfect for everyday use. It consists of a base, front and back, two sides, handles, zipper and, if desired, jewelry.

A more unusual, but almost everywhere appropriate option - bag-trapeze. It differs from square and rectangular shapes in that it tapers from the base to the top or expands. Trapezoidal bags - topical solutions for the coming season, and the fact that they are easy to implement, will allow you to be in the mainstream of fashion without extra costs and the acquisition of a large number of professional skills.

Choosing the shape of the bag, focus on personal preferences and on the conditions in which it will be used - work, going to the store, walking with children - thus, it will please for a long time.

Here we come to the consideration of the phased tailoring of different models of bags.

Very comfortable model. It is perfect for those who need their hands to be free, but everything you need is at hand - for example, so that nothing interferes when going to the store for shopping, during street games with a child or walking with a dog. Waist bags are another fashionable trend of the current season.

To carry out such a handbag does not require a lot of material and complex patterns - it is made from two pieces of fabric, stitched together, which are then folded, as shown in the photo, and stitched.

A bag with a clasp is a stylish solution; if you choose the right option and size, it can become an elegant evening bag.

Pay attention to the peculiarity of the pattern - it fits under the already acquired clasp - its length must fully coincide with the width of the bag, accuracy in measurements is important here.
