Today you can find any thing on the market, the variety of goods is so great that it’s just that your eyes run wide. But the problem is that as soon as some new fashion trend begins, the market is filled with the same type and monotonous goods, and in the end, what is fashionable is worn by 85% out of 100.

I want to stand out from this gray fashionable mass, and for this you will need some skills, aspiration and imagination. So today let's talk about how sew a fabric bag independently and be exclusive and unique.

DIY fabric bag

It is worth noting that a woman's life cannot proceed fully if there are no bags in it. This is an essential accessory for every female, and even little girls cannot imagine their walk without their favorite handbag.

It can be a huge shoulder bag, a small ladies' clutch, a medium-sized bag with long handles. There are many options, it all depends on your preferences.

In order to sew a bag without outside help, it is not necessary to be a professional seamstress. To do this, you will need the ability to use a sewing machine or tighten the thread into a needle, everything else will depend only on your diligence and desire to create something new, beautiful and extraordinary.

It should be noted that even the lack of imagination will not become an obstacle in this matter, because on the Internet you can find a lot of different interesting options that can be implemented. It turns out that, in principle, everything is at our fingertips, now it will be necessary to find out what material it is better to sew a bag from and how to do it.

Fabric for bags and backpacks

Today, there is a huge variety of products on the fabric market. It is very difficult for ignorant and beginners to understand such a variety. In order to make the process of choosing a material for sewing a bag easier, let's figure out which fabric is suitable for which bags:

• Polyester. This material makes excellent and very durable bags.
• Nylon bags are lightweight yet highly durable. Among other things, they are quite elastic, and the material is often used specifically for factory sewing bags.

• Faux leather is a very common material in the bag making industry. Here I would immediately like to note that the quality characteristics of such material are not at the highest level. Usually, the so-called consumer goods are sewn from it. Such bags are inexpensive, but they are also not practical in operation, more precisely, even to say, they are short-lived.
• Artificial suede - similar to a natural counterpart. The material is quite practical and wear-resistant, so bags made of such fabric are excellent both in terms of quality characteristics and in appearance.
• Jacquard. The fabric is not cheap, the surface of the fabric is not smooth. It is used for sewing children's backpacks and bags.
• Cotton. The composition of such a fabric includes cellulose with an indicator of 90%. Often used for sewing a variety of bags.

If you have any fabric at home, then it is not necessary to buy another one in the store. Almost any material that is not too thin can be suitable for a bag.

Fabric shoulder bags

One of the most practical bags is a shoulder bag, as they say, put it on and forget it. It is beautiful, comfortable and practical, it is the perfect combination of features for a bag. In order to sew such a bag, you will need a lot of time, but believe me, the result will be worth it.

To begin with, let's deal with the material and tools that will be useful to us in the process of sewing the type of bag in question:

• any material suitable for lining
• fabric for the bag (pieces of 34 x 35; 34 x 27 and a couple of pieces of 27 x 13 cm)
• lace (length not less than 40 cm)
• dublerin
• pair of carabiners and half rings
• button (the best option is magnetic)

• strap for bag
• tool (scissors, ruler, pencil, thread, stealth)

If all of the above is at your fingertips, then, into battle. Step-by-step instructions for sewing a "postman bag":

1. If you want the bag you sewed to keep its shape, then sewing begins with gluing the front fabric with dublerin. The sizing process must necessarily be carried out through gauze.
2. We fold the prepared pair of large pieces of fabric with the front sides, sew them together. Do not forget to always leave an allowance for the seams, one and a half centimeters will be enough.
3. The seam will need to be ironed, and the lace attached to the front of the fabric, and then stitched.

1. We fold the pieces of fabric with the front sides, sew the side seams.
2. Now we need to start forming the bottom. We add up the existing corners, do not forget to fix everything with invisibility. We measure 5-7 cm from the sharp edge, draw a line with a pencil and sew it. Excess fabric to the seam can be cut off, leaving only one centimeter in stock.
3. We turn the fabric inside out, while it will be necessary to iron the side seams so that it is clear how to work further with the resulting workpiece.

1. We turn to tailoring the valve for the bag, which must be on such a model without fail. To do this, take 2 small prepared pieces of fabric and fold them, again with the right sides to each other. We draw the shape of the pocket, rounding the corners.
2. We sew according to the drawing, leaving the largest edge not stitched.
3. Trim off the excess fabric. We find the middle on the valve, and mark it with a bold dot. This is where we will attach the magnetic button.
4. From the fat point in the middle of the valve we measure half a centimeter in both directions, and cut the material. We insert the button (the magnet itself will be attached elsewhere). We turn the fabric.

1. We proceed to the connection of the bag and the valve we made. We pin the valve to the bag with invisibility and attach it. Do not forget after each produced process, iron the fabric.
2. We bend the valve to the front side of the bag and mark on its base the place where we will attach the magnet.
3. To the side seams at the top, you will need to sew leather flats with half rings sewn into them. This is the mount for our future belt.
4. Do not forget about the lining and the need for its pattern. To do this, we need two pieces of fabric measuring 30 x 34 cm.
5. They need to be stitched around the perimeter so that the seam is open. Don't forget to cut corners. After we turn the material inside out, we sew the seam that we previously left unsewn.
6. We connect the lining with the bag with pins, sew. The bag is ready, it remains only to turn it inside out.

"Postman bag" is ready for use. A lot of trouble, but the result will please you.

Product options

For creativity, different materials are used. It can be not only new fabrics, threads, decorative elements, but also old things of good quality. Knitting and sewing have been the most popular ways of making an accessory for many years.

knitted

Knitted bags, according to designers, will always be popular. They come in different shapes, shades. The monochromatic, discreet color of the accessory is complemented by the canvas pattern and decorative design. Most often, models are knitted or crocheted. Features of different techniques:

1. Knitting. Use mainly semi-woolen, acrylic yarn. The thicker the thread, the more voluminous the pattern. The shape of the bags is simple: square, rectangular. Knit with circular knitting needles or two, preferably metal. Any pattern is selected, even a simple garter or stocking knit is used, sometimes weaving colored threads. After completion of the work, the sides are sewn together. Fabric lining is required to maintain volume.
2. Crochet. More common way. Hooks No. 2-4 are used in the work. Some models are knitted whole, starting from the bottom. Basically, the pattern is built from air loops, double crochets and without. Different threads are used, from cotton to wool with additions. To create unusual accessories, twine, satin ribbons, plastic strips from bags are suitable.

Weaving from knitted threads gives a second life to old things. Stripes are cut from clothes, which are then connected into a single ribbon yarn and used to knit handbags, covers, carpets.

Different types of fabrics are chosen for sewing bags. The main requirements are that they be durable, comfortable to use. Difficulties arise with thick materials: leather, fur. At the same time, they hold their shape well and do not require edge processing. To calculate the approximate dimensions of the required canvas, you can use the numerous master classes on the topic “We sew a fabric bag with our own hands”.

Materials used:

1. Textile. The accessory is sewn from different materials. It can be natural, cotton fabrics, silk, viscose, straw. Even bags made of linen and burlap, decorated with decor, look spectacular.
2. Fur artificial or natural. The entire handbag or part of it is sewn from the material. It is difficult to work with him, a lining is required. Fur model goes well with winter outfits.
3. Leather natural or artificial. It is more difficult to sew - not every machine can sew products. If it is difficult to work manually, punctures are first made with a needle.
4. Old clothes. Bags from it look creative. Use denim pants, T-shirts, T-shirts, sweaters. Before sewing a shopping bag, things are not even always torn apart - you can simply cut off the unnecessary or slightly alter the shape.
5. Lining fabric. Suitable cotton, sintepon, felt. To stiffen the product, non-woven or dublerin is glued.

Details are cut before sewing. Any patterns of a backpack and bag are transferred to a flat surface of the fabric, not forgetting about allowances for seams. If you like the shape of your old handbag, you can rip it open, copy the details to new material. Next, the front and lining parts are sewn separately, and then they are connected.

Accessories come with short, medium and long handles. Most often they are cut separately. It happens the other way around - if a one-piece pattern of a shoulder bag is made for sewing with your own hands.

A lot of shops sell bags, handbags, clutches, etc., etc. But it's so cool to make something like that yourself, to feel the process of creating a product, right? Many will agree with me, I think. Therefore, today we will make a bunch of handbags, cute and funny)

How to sew a bag with your own hands

First of all, I suggest you sew a cute fluffy handbag that you can give to a little girl or girl.

List of materials:

• artificial fur (for the outer part of the bag);
• fleece (for lining and for covering buttons);
• threads in the color of the fabric;
• two round buttons;
• two small white rhinestones or half beads;
• synthetic winterizer;
• pattern paper;
• needle;
• glue second;
• pencil;
• pins (for pinning patterns);
• scissors.

Patterns of the future bag you can download here: ear and the foundation. Let's deal with them.

What kind of patterns are here:

1. one-piece bag pattern (lid + back) - the entire area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe pattern;
2. the front of the bag is everything that is below the side insert;
3. side insert width - we will sew the side part into the bag, this is its width. The length is the length of the contour of the front (without a straight top).

As for the side insert: it should consist of two equal parts, the direction of the pile of which will be directed against each other. But that's just for fur! From fleece, simply cut one strip of the required width, you can ignore the direction of the pile.

How to sew a bag: a detailed master class

First of all, we will work with the side of our product.

Take two pieces of fur side piece and sew them along the edge. Sew them so that the pile of pieces is directed towards each other.

Why do I suggest doing this? I answer: the fur has a long pile, which should go in one direction. And this can be achieved just by stitching two pieces

Trim off any excess. And sew the side part to the front of our future bag.

And now we sew the back of the bag! Already the lid is planned

Trim the edges of the seam allowances. See why:

By the way, here is the back view of the bag:

Sew a fleece "handbag" in the same way. This will be the lining - the inside of the bag.

How to sew a lining to a bag? First, attach the fleece and fur parts with the right side inward.

In this photo, it seems to be clearer

And just sew the covers of both parts.

Screw the inside into the bag.

Sew the remaining edges with a blind stitch.

To decorate our bag, I suggest you cut out these ears:

This is how you should get them:

Now let's make a strap for the bag. To do this, cut three strips of fur of such a length that it would be convenient for you to then put on a strap of them on your shoulder. Weave a pigtail out of them (fix at the end and at the beginning so that it does not come apart).

Remember we left holes for fasteners? Now you need to insert them into them and carefully sew the resulting pigtail with a hidden seam.

But our bag doesn't have bindings yet! There are several options here: you can sew in a zipper (which is better to do earlier), you can use Velcro and buttons.
I decided to stick with the last option.

Cut two black circles larger than the button from the black fleece and take the button.

Put a little padding polyester on the button.

And in a fleece circle, along the edge of which walk with a running stitch without fastening:

Put them together.

And pull the thread.

The button for attaching the bag to the back should look something like this:

Glue a small rhinestone highlight on the front.

Now attach the clasp to the lid of the bag to see where you will need to make a notch for the eyelet.

Draw a line down the center of where the button should be. Make a cut along the drawn line.

To keep the cut nice and neat, sew it with a buttonhole stitch so that each stitch fits as closely as possible to the previous one.

This is what the bag will look like after the lining:

Sew on the button eyes to the bag:

Now, back to the ears! Fold and hem their edges.

And sew them where you would like them to be.

Ta-dam! The bag is ready. It turned out to be a cute kitty)

DIY leather bags

Leather is one of the most interesting and durable materials for sewing bags. Therefore, I present to your attention several master classes from this material.

Bag - cat

For this simple but very cute model (somewhat reminiscent of the previous one), you will need leatherette, scissors, an awl, thread and a thick needle.

This can be worn by both a young girl and a small child.

The simplest leather bag

No, you definitely need to get one. You will need leather, scissors, a strap, tape, a marker and (optionally) a special tool for cutting several holes in a row (you can do without an awl). All you really need to do is cut out the circle, poke holes, thread the ribbon through, and attach the strap. Everything)

The envelope

Reminds me of a cat bag.

Chanterelle

Pretty model)) Prepare leather or thick leatherette, braid and rivets for her. Chanterelle can not be sewn, it is enough to glue along the edges and hide these places under the braid.

DIY jeans bags

However, the following models can be made from both jeans and old jeans.

Network

For her, cut the jeans into strips and weave the fabric, as in the photo. Sew it already with a bag (folding a piece of cloth in half) and sew on the handles.

Simple denim bag

There is a denim leg - go ahead to the production of the bag! You will also need a buckle, a leather strap, scissors and thread with a needle.

Delicate denim bag

Here you will need two trousers, scissors, thread with a needle and a zipper.

DIY bags made of fabric

Rectangular

For her, take a few pieces of cotton fabric, a zipper and accessories.

clutch

An interesting idea is to use thick pieces of processed cardboard for lining. I would recommend taking Fix Price plastic boards or juice packaging as a dense base.

Present such a handbag to your mother - she will definitely be delighted))

Clutch in a semicircle

Cut out two round pieces of cotton fabric and a circle of synthetic winterizer from the fabric. Fold them into a "sandwich" and sew several times at right angles. Sew around the edge with bias tape. Fold the workpiece in half and sew a zipper into the bag. Decorate.

Handbag

Cotton fabric, lining, clasps and floral decorations come in handy here. A young lady, say, 17 years old, will definitely appreciate such a gift.

Sportswear bag

For it, prepare a dense fabric, braid, scissors, pins, fasteners, zippers and threads. In addition to sportswear, you can also put hiking things in this bag.

Mini handbag

According to the scheme described below, you can make both a completely miniature accessory and a larger item.

Alteration of old things

For the first of the two photo workshops, you will need a long soft cloth bag, and for the second, an old T-shirt.

Photo of handmade bags

I want to show you how you can get a lot of bright and unusual products using the same patterns.

Sandwich bag

Cute bag made of fleece. She is quite simple! And such a design can be introduced into a cat bag.

panda bag

Cute panda design

Simple and elegant bag

The handbag is quite simple and is made according to similar patterns from the very first pattern.

Knitted bag

Although this bag is knitted, its design can be implemented and sewn from fabric.

Leather bag

Octopussy bag

The bag, again, is knitted. But it is very similar to the first one (at the beginning of the article). Only you need to add tentacles to it and remove the ears.

By the way, I bought fleece for the eyes of the "cat" bag here. You won't find one like this in a store.

This article comes to an end. I hope you enjoyed looking at all the handbags and took note of something interesting for yourself. See you soon!

Not everyone knows that sewing a bag with your own hands from a piece of some fabric found at home or not too thick leather is not as difficult as it seems at first glance. Difficulties can arise if the material is too thick, such as leather or jeans, or the pattern is not easy. I myself tried to sew my first bag back at school, there was no pattern, I just sewed a rectangular one.

How to sew a bag? What? Small women's or large roomy household, fashionable stylish for yourself or children's ...

A homemade summer bag can be sewn from almost any material you like. A model and a pattern of a pattern with dimensions can also be made based on your own ideas about the shape and capacity. It is advisable to start with simple patterns. Otherwise (professional language) the pattern is called a template. Keep this in mind as you search.

From felt, you can build a very cute flat bag in the form of an owl or a wolf with huge eyes (photo below towards the end of the article) for an electronic device.

I was surprised that for some reason a lot of visitors come to this page for the query " do-it-yourself fabric bags patterns for very stupid". You can't talk like that about yourself. If you are going to sew such a thing, then I think that you can easily figure it out. As a last resort, if something is not clear, then you can ask!

DIY bags - patterns

For example, if I carry an umbrella in my purse, then it should fit there - horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.

Think in advance of the situation - if your umbrella breaks, you will buy a new one, which may be slightly longer than its predecessor.

It is better to make sure that a standard size umbrella fits inside.

Three patterns of GUCCI leather handbags

To begin with, I will give patterns for several GUCCI bags, they were originally given for making paper models, but they can also be used for sewing normal ones from fabric or other material with your own hands. The next three photos, if you are interested in patterns, can be slightly enlarged, they are clickable.

In the photo, basically, only patterns of bags without sizes. A little advice for those who have found a model suitable for themselves wants to sew a similar one. Take a picture with a pattern, open it on a large screen in any graphics editor, enlarge the pattern to the desired size. It’s even easier for me - my screen is a large TV. :)

Attach loose paper or tracing paper to the screen, fix and circle with a soft pencil. If you are planning to make a small bag, then a regular screen may be enough for you. Otherwise, enlarge the image to the "life size" of the bag (even if it does not even fit into the entire screen) and circle the pattern in parts, shifting the photo on the monitor.

When opening the bag, do not forget the seam allowances!

By the way, the leather pattern of the hanging brush for decorating the bag looks like a paint brush, it is done exactly as shown. It is not cut completely into strips, then the skin area is moistened with glue and folded into a tube.

Details such as size and shape, the presence of external and internal pockets must be thought out in advance, based on your needs and preferences.

Focus on the size of your wallet when thinking through pockets. They say that it is safest to store your wallet vertically in the middle of the bag in a specially made compartment, so it is much less likely that a pickpocket will get to it. They usually cut the outside of the side or end with a sharpened coin and steal what they find inside. The second time to cut - inside - is already inconvenient.

Some sew a special pocket for an umbrella with a zipper at the bottom of the bag or under it. This is also very convenient, you can get an umbrella separately from your compartment without opening anything from above.

If it is difficult for someone to understand the patterns presented above, in any case, he will understand how to sew a bag according to an elementary scheme (for example, from an old jacket), a “t-shirt”, a bag using noble materials - suede, leather. However, jeans, leatherette will also go, it all depends on what choice you have.

DIY backpack bag with a pattern

You better know what shape of the bag you like best, what you wear (or are going to wear) inside, which handles you prefer - short, long, wide, narrow, or maybe it’s more convenient for you to carry a backpack - so your hands will be free. I personally love backpacks, but not too small - they don’t fit much, and ladies’ backpacks for sale are mostly very modest in size, so sometimes you have to sew yourself if you want to do small sewing.

A cute bright owlet will be a great gift for a girl or girl. The main thing in this backpack is the external decor, but you can take almost any pattern, anyway it will not be visible. Looks great in casual youth clothing - t-shirts and jeans. By clicking on the link, you can see a few slightly different color options, as well as what a “carcass” bag-backpack looks like.

Bag from an old leather jacket

You can sew a new leather bag from the skin of an old jacket (or leather trousers) - it probably has good unworn pieces of areas on it. It can turn out such a convenient little thing, as in the photo below.

It's a good idea to make handles that you can always make shorter or longer, or fasten one long strap.

Think over the fastener in advance, if it is a zipper, then find a suitable color at home, if it is slightly larger than the hole, then this is not scary - one end can be hidden inside the product. Think about what kind of buckles, magnetic fasteners the future bag will have.

The choice of accessories for bags

Usually, when I throw away a thing (clothing or a backpack, it doesn’t matter), I rip out accessories from it, which can still be useful, and therefore I have a lot of such little things at home. This is very convenient - you don’t have to immediately run to the store, if the idea of ​​\u200b\u200busing accessories comes up, then you can immediately attach and figure out if something from “home stocks” is suitable. It is necessary to take into account the color of the fittings, the finished product will not look very good if silver and golden fittings are used at the same time. Better keep the style.

The clasp can be made on a magnet - there are such on sale, they are quite inexpensive. Or even on a lace that tightens the top. It looks good on beautiful evening bags made of silk or other fine fabric with a slight sheen, with embroidery or beading.

Usually I draw the pattern of the bag myself - the shapes are very simple. From the Internet, I sometimes collected ideas for models and patterns, I never used them directly, but you can take them as a basis, and little things (and proportions, or separately height-width) can always be changed or added as you wish.

A product sewn on a lining looks neater, so prepare a lining fabric that matches in color - in tone or vice versa in a contrasting color. The main details of the bag pattern will need to be duplicated on the fabric for the inside. On the lining, one or more pockets, with a zipper or open, for small things, cosmetics, a phone, may not be superfluous. Pockets are always very convenient when you know what should be in which pocket.

Knitted and felt bags with felt

If you do not know how or do not want to knit, you can still create a knitted accessory for yourself. Do you know from what? From unnecessary knitwear - pullovers, sweaters of large or small knitting. Or use an old bag to recycle into a new one using knitwear.

The handbag can be sewn from felt in the form of a wolf, an owl or another animal. No pattern is required here, the main thing is a beautiful design on the outside.

There are a lot of all sorts of large pictures with examples of felt bags. Animals and birds are different - a fox, an eagle, a pig, an elephant, a dog, a rhinoceros and even a bat. The basis of the pattern is a rectangle the size of a phone or other device, and the rest - decorations - is already a matter of your imagination and possibilities in terms of choosing the color of felt, thread or fabric.

The idea of ​​reworking an old leather bag with knitting

A very interesting idea is to remake an already existing old bag made of thick leather - cut off the bottom and knit it from dense threads or yarn, for example, in a contrasting color. Pre-make holes along the bottom, and tie knitted parts to them. I have been going to implement this idea for a long time, there is even a bag for experiments, but so far I have not found a suitable yarn.

In my opinion, this is a “Spanish” idea for original bags made of thick leather with a knitted addition, it seemed interesting to me, of course, to repeat with my own hands. So I took it on board.

The bottom can be knitted very quickly with a thick cord. I would still knit the lower part of the darker shape, otherwise there will be a washing problem very soon.

The shape of the pattern will largely depend on the rest of the piece. There is no need to worry about whether the sewing machine will sew the leather part - we will make small holes with a special punch tool and everything can be fixed. I think that the lining for such a handbag is still worth doing, especially if the knitting is large.

Decorating a fabric bag with beads and sequins

I would like to briefly dwell on one more point. If you don't like to bother with complex tailoring of a bag according to a special pattern, or you already have a fabric bag (small!) that you would like to change, then there is a way out too. If there is no ready-made applicant for alteration, then sew a small fabric bag with your own hands. Or a clutch. It's simple - the pattern is as follows - two rectangles, a zipper or a button, or something else quite unpretentious. Let the fabric be plain. For our purposes, this is even better.

The trick here is that you can additionally decorate the bag with your own hands - you get a unique thing. In the end, buy the simplest ready-made one and try it. To do this, you will need beads, sequins, glass beads, rhinestones, threads, a needle.

Decoration of handbags and clutches with sequins and beads

Now I'll show you what can happen. Don't be alarmed - these are three clutches standing one behind the other. They are all interesting and all different.

A women's tweed bag is a necessary thing when traveling. It is very roomy and practical to wear. Therefore, it is also good for everyday use in the cool windy season. A very interesting old pattern with a sewing scheme, let's try to sew it with our own hands, leather trim will look good.

Here are such interesting multi-colored woolen knapsacks with embroidery, made by a craftswoman with her own hands, I spied at the exhibition of handmade masters. There were cases for mobile phones, and even simply roomy, but very light baskets and baskets made of felt for shopping in the store. Oddly enough, the hostess advised wearing them even potatoes! :) Personally, I would not do this - it's a pity the thing! And how easy they are! Just unbelieveble.

It is even easier to sew a capacious bag for the beach with your own hands, the patterns are very simple, the sewing process is simple. Materials can be anything - from mesh to canvas, the shape and pattern can vary, but in any case, the volume should be large. And you can decorate it as you like, at least with seashells, at least paint it with acrylic paints. Here you will find a bag-package pattern, according to which you can sew a product from fabric or even leather!

Another simple pattern for sewing a large comfortable bag for the beach from a material (plain or with a pattern), which will fit all the necessary things. I don’t advise sewing such a bag from leather, bow folds along the top will not look very good. The bag consists of an outer part and a lining, which can be the same or different, for example, a thinner fabric.

Examples of ready-made shopping bags, as well as handicrafts with applications of my good friend, a needlewoman, a jack of all trades, who lives in the city of Regensburg. So you can decorate an existing thing with your own hands, as well as sew a new one, in the process coming up with an ornament.
