We make a fabric bag with our own hands
Many girls prefer exclusive things,which will not be repeated by friends or acquaintances, so they create accessories with their own hands. A beautiful bag in the boho style can be sewn from the remains of linen fabric with the addition of a chintz inner part. The charming bag is decorated with various elements: fabric flowers, buttons, beige lace or other details that you like. There are many advantages of a homemade bag: firstly, you create it in your favorite colors; secondly, the size of the pattern can be slightly changed for convenience to suit your parameters; thirdly, the number and direction of the decorative elements are selected depending on your imagination and will certainly be unique and inimitable, because even one craftswoman cannot create an exact copy of her work if the thing was made with a creative approach.
To create a bag you will need:
At the first stage, choose the fabric taking into account yourtaste, and other items from the wardrobe. In the boho style, plain natural fabrics are preferably used: knitwear, linen, etc., so the choice fell on light linen material. The interior trim of the work will be chintz with an image of circles (peas). At the second stage, start creating a pattern. To do this, prepare a larger sheet of paper or tracing paper and draw two perpendicular lines to mark the center of the template. Next, from this center, we retreat vertically by 20 cm and mark the border of the top and bottom of the product. At these points, we draw horizontal lines parallel to the central axis. Along the horizontal lines, you will need to mark the width of the workpiece, retreating an equal distance of 15 cm. at the top and a slightly larger distance - 20 cm on the bottom. Different distances will provide the shape of a barely expressed trapezoid, expanding downwards. The product will have this shape, i.e. the bag is slightly narrowed at the top, and the lower part is more capacious. Connect the lower and upper points along horizontal lines, but keep in mind that the border at the bottom should have a smooth rounding angle, and not a straight cut.
Cut out the outlined template and attach it tolinen fabric. To have less leftovers, it is recommended to immediately turn the pattern over and draw the second part to the right side, which will later be the other side of the bag. Similar actions must be carried out with calico fabric, from which you will also need two main parts of similar sizes.
You will need a strip 6-7 cm wide, whichwill be sewn into the lower part of the product and will provide volume and capacity to the lady's handbag. Form a pocket of any suitable size from the polka dot fabric. This bag has a secret pocket approximately 13 by 9 cm. It is necessary for storing valuables: plastic cards, cash, perhaps you will hide a note or bills, checks, etc. The pocket is cut out as simply as possible - in the form of a rectangle of the appropriate size.
At the final stage of cutting, you need to create details forbag handles. This product is worn over the shoulder, so the handles are long enough, about a meter, but you can adjust them to your height and your parameters (after all, all girls find it convenient to carry bags in their own way).
The handles are decorated with chintz braids.fabric. Take strips one centimeter wide, clamp three pieces together (for example, they can be held with a clothespin or pin) and braid a simple braid, alternately shifting the right and left edges inside.
In the next step, start sewing everything together.details. The seams should be neat, do not pull the fabric and do not rush. After all, it is the sewing of the details that will provide the necessary look of a quality product. First, sew the pocket on three sides, that is, the bottom and the sides. Then, on one piece of calico fabric, make a slit in the upper part in the center of the size corresponding to the pocket. At the next stage, sew in a zipper connecting the slits of the pocket. Next, stitch the bottom of the bag with the side pieces of linen fabric (the seam goes inside). Then proceed to assembling all the details of the inner part of the bag, which are formed by turquoise polka-dot fabric. The next step is to create handles. You stitch them from linen in two layers, and on top, carefully fix the calico braid with clamps, which should be located exactly in the center. Sew the handles to the wrong side of the linen parts (you can grab it with a basting), then sew the upper parts of the cover and the bag so that the ends of the handles are inside. This seam is used to fix all the parts into a single product. At the last stage, sew on a small button-shaped lock, which will help you carry the bag closed and will be practically invisible. The seams of the lock should be even, and when choosing a zipper, focus on a thin, hidden one.
Now we proceed to decorate the front part.bags. First, we need fabric flowers. They are created very simply: cut out a circle from calico fabric, put some padding polyester or cotton wool inside and wrap it with black threads in several directions to create an imitation of petals. The middle of such a flower is decorated with a button.
Distribute several flowers around the bag,Observe asymmetry so that the composition pattern turns out abstract and unique. The number of flowers should not be huge, otherwise they will merge into a gray mass and the focus of attention on each decorative detail will be lost. The middle of the bag is decorated with a scattering of buttons. First, lay out these elements so that there is no thickening and large gaps, and then sew each detail to the linen fabric, without grabbing the inner part of the cover. Fold the lace into a gather, grab the upper part with threads and then carefully hook this element under the side of the plump flower.
Add any decorations to suit your taste, but inBoho style does not use rhinestones, beads, so stick to a more natural direction. The exclusive bag is ready. It will please you for more than one season and will cause slight envy among your girlfriends. A bag in the boho style is combined with many clothing options, it suits the summer, autumn mood. Such an accessory is happily chosen by both young girls and stylish women of any age. Wear it with pleasure!
