In this article we will consider the method of sewing leatherbags and leather working techniques. Sewing a leather bag is not at all difficult and is quite accessible to everyone. In creating such bags, you can connect all your imagination and decorate them with various decorative components. Let's get down to this creative process. Description of work Before you start sewing, you need to come up with a bag model and draw it. In this picture, you need to consider all the elements. Sewing from leather is a little more difficult than from other materials, because it is much stronger. When sewing, you can connect completely different pieces of fabric and leather. Good drawings are made from the leather itself, which are then used to decorate the bag. The threads are taken quite dense, such as nylon or silk. It is better to sew all the seams two or three times so that it does not break in the future. For decoration, you can use lace, ribbons, beads and much more. It all depends on your imagination. Bag handles can be made of materials such as: rings, chains, clips, buttons. Fasteners can be magnets, zippers or belts. The bag must have a lining. You will need to buy a specific fabric for the lining. It can be the same color as the bag or different in contrast. To process the material, you will need: pins, scissors, chalk or a pen, and tracing paper. Next, we build the basis of the patternHow to make a qualitative pattern of bags from the skin with your own hands. Photo №1 It is necessary to remember the basic elements:bag walls, handles, bottom. If desired, you can make pockets. The most famous types of bags are: square, oval, circle, rectangle. For an oval, square and rectangle, you need to make a pattern of the correct size and cut out two parts from it. Then make the bottom. It can be exactly rectangular, or widened or, conversely, narrowed. If the bag is round, then we cut out a round bottom, and make the walls with rectangular strips. Everyone decides for themselves how wide the bottom should be. Seam allowances must be laid when creating a pattern. It is better to leave about three to four centimeters for allowances on both sides. The lining pattern is similar to the pattern of the bag base. Now you need to assemble the product: to do this, transfer the sample of the constructed model to the fabric we need and trace along the contour with chalk. Then carefully cut out the resulting parts according to the template. Then you need to sew the parts and the lining separately. After that, we connect the base of the bag and the lining. The top of the bag is sewn with the lining on the inside and a small gap is left so that the bag can be turned inside out. The handles are sewn in this way: bend the edges inward and stitch. They need to be sewn along the left side, then turned inside out. The handles are sewn on top of the bag or sewn in. Then you need to attach a clasp to the bag. The same applies to pockets, if there are any. If the bag has a bottom, it would be a good idea to cover it with lining material, while leaving allowances on the sides. This is necessary to secure it. If you need to give the corners a certain shape, then they are sewn together. You can sew the lining and the top of the bag together and put interlining between them. And here is another version of a leather bag:
