To sew a bag you will need:

Plain linen fabric.The size of the cut on the fabric directly depends on the size of the desired accessory. Calculate the width of the flap - this is the width of the bag, multiplied by two, plus a few centimeters of reserve, and the length of the cut - this is the height of the bag plus 5 cm for the hem. You will need additional material for the bottom insert and for the handles of the product.

A fabric of a similar texture to the first canvas, but with a pattern. If you want to give a bag style Boho or ethnic, then use a thin pronounced pattern, for example, black geometric patterns.

Several buttons of different diameters in a gray-beige-brown range.

Pieces of finishing tape in a suitable palette.

Scissors, threads.

Sewing machine.

Thin linen fabric for the lining, you can use chintz, calico, cotton. Simply put – look for fabric scraps that are suitable for the new accessory.

Thin threads for knitting, for example, cotton. They must be beige, gray or brown.

Crochet hook its number should be comparable to the diameter of the yarn, more often for cotton use the thinnest size.

Other sewing accessories: chalk, needles for temporary fixation, etc.

Pattern on paper or you can apply the parameters of the product directly to the fabric.

Zipper for the pocket.

The first step is to create a pattern forbags, which are easier to draw on old wallpaper or tracing paper. To do this, draw a rectangle on a piece of paper 40 cm wide and 42 cm high. A bag with such dimensions will not be very voluminous, but quite roomy and harmonious with the boho style. Such a thing cannot be filled to the top with food or other things, the bag should be filled no more than a third.

Pattern

The top part of the pattern is cut off andis applied to another fabric that will diversify the work, create an accent, but at the same time fit into the style of the product. Place the patterns on top of the fabric, outline the contours with a handy tool that leaves a mark on the fabric and is easily removed from the fabric (a piece of soap, chalk, etc.). It is not advisable to use a marker, since black stripes can be seen near the seams. Cut out all the details for the two walls of the bag, then move on to cutting the pocket and handles for the bag. The pocket will be patch, it will be placed on the inner lining. For it, cut out a rectangle measuring approximately 20 by 20 cm. The pocket will serve as a storage for small or valuable things and will make the inside of the product a little more fun.The handles look like long strips about 5 cm in size.cm in width and about a meter in length. Since the handles will be folded in half, the bag will be located below the shoulder by only 50 cm, if you like to wear your bags lower, then increase the length of the handle pattern. You will need two equal strips for each strap, so cut out four blanks.The handles need to be sewn with the pieces facing each other.face. The seams run along the very edge of the elements. No seams are made at the bottom of the workpiece, since the parts need to be turned right side out. At the next stage, the main part of the bag is sewn from a single-color linen fabric with the upper element, which has a pattern. Then sew the front part of the product and the back. To avoid a rectangular shape of the product, it is necessary to slightly round the lower corners when stitching, but only a little.The lower parts of the bag handles are stitched inin the form of roundings and must be done very carefully, since the straps will not be sewn inside the product between the lining, but stitched on top of the front side. The bag cover is formed in the same size in the form of a rectangle. On the lining, it is necessary to create a patch pocket, but to prevent small items from scattering throughout the bag, it is necessary to sew a zipper into the upper part of the pocket. When the lock is sewn onto the material, attach all the parts comparable to each other. Sew the side parts of the calico lining, and then stitch them to the upper part of the bag base. In order for the bag to be turned out through the cover and all the seams to have a neat appearance, connecting the fabric from the inside, it is necessary to leave a small gap on the seam.When the pieces are sewn and neatly turned out,overcast the remaining part or carefully stitch the part along the very edge. The bag will be closed with a large button, which is located at the top of the product in the very center. Try to fasten the lock with threads to the fabric as tightly as possible, so that in the near future there will be no need to repair the product. The handles are sewn onto the work using buttons,which are attached to the front and back of the bag. When the base is completely ready, sew the handles symmetrically to each other, for this, fold the bag in half. It's time to do the decorative finishing of the bag. In order for the bag to be unique, you still need to work on creating lace. To do this, take a crochet hook and thin cotton yarn, for example, "Iris". At the first stage, create seven air loops and knit the edges of this row to form a circle. The second row is formed from twelve columns that tie the middle in a circle. The third layer of loops is knitted according to the pattern: a double crochet, then an air loop and again a double crochet alternating with knitting one air loop. Repeats alternate 12 times, that is, you should get 12 columns, and between them there should be gaps of air loops. The new row has a different pattern: here, a double crochet alternates, which is caught on the lower row in the place where the chain loop was, and then three chain loops are knitted. Continue alternating double crochets throughout the circle, separating them with three chain loops, which will allow you to create new large arches.In the fifth row, three columns are knittedyarn over, which are hooked onto the arches of the fourth row, then you need to create one air loop. Again form a column with a yarn over, which will be held on a similar element of the previous row, again separate the pattern with one air loop and continue knitting repeats, which begin with three high columns with a yarn over. In the next row, you need to knit a column in the first loop, then three air loops, then a column in the middle part of three columns of the previous row, change the loops in places and create a prominent part of three columns, the final loop changes with the next one, which is raised by three air loops. Tie the entire circle of the part with cute bulges.Create several of these elements, by typeresembling a web or snowflake. The parts are connected to each other in a grid. A total of 7 elements were needed, one of which was located in the center, and the others were tied with air loops in the form of a snowflake.Sew the lace knitted pieces to the sidebags to cover the front and back sides little by little. On the final touches of work, you can decorate the bag with an additional scattering of buttons or sew on a small chaotic element. A beautiful bag, created with your own hands, is ready to decorate your outfit on an evening walk. Such a bag can be sewn for your beloved friend for her birthday. You can safely say that such a thing is nice to give or to brag about yourself.
