A lesson on sewing an original shopping bag made of fabric in a pattern, detailed instructions and step-by-step photos

I bring to your attention a simple master class ontailoring of a shopping bag. I will clarify that this shopping bag with solid handles can also be made two-sided. I really like this model of the shopping bag, it has wide and sturdy handles, and it is also quite roomy. This bag is our frequent companion in shopping trips. As an option, for sewing such a bag you can use a fabric of different contrasting colors - two, three colors. Use the fabric that you have, from the cuts, or the remains of the fabric. Bag dimensions: height - 35 cm + 1 cm for allowances, width - 33 cm + 1 cm for allowances. Detail of the handles: height 22 cm, width 33 cm. Since, in this master class a dense canvas fabric was used, I did not make it two-sided.

Materials and tools

For sewing this bag we will need:

  • Half a meter of cotton cloth for the bottom of the bag and a fabric for pens;
  • Half a meter of fabric for lining (at your discretion);
  • Suitable for color yarn;
  • Sewing accessories;
  • Pattern the top of the bag with handles to draw yourself.

Pattern

Draw a pattern of the top of the bag. Measure the width of the bag and add 1 cm for the allowances to the seams. Draw a horizontal line with a length of ½ width + allowances on the seams. This is the main line. Draw a vertical line 10 cm to the left and a vertical line to the right 8 cm from the main line. Measure out 28 cm up from the main line and mark. Draw 8 cm of the horizontal line passing through this mark. Draw curved lines by joining lines from the top, right and left. Mark the fold line.

Stages of work

Shopping bag with solid pens: Cut out 2 pieces using a cloth pattern for the front side and 2 details from the lining fabric. Fold the front side to each other 1 piece for the front side and 1 piece for the wrong side and plot the line along the bend lines with the allowance for seams of 0.5 cm. We make notches on the bend line. Repeat the same steps for the other two parts. We turn the parts on the front side and iron. Step-by-step photos to the lesson on sewing a shopping bag.
