Burlap bags. Do-it-yourself fabric bag patterns. Simple and complex models of bags. Master class on sewing a beach bag

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. Preferably start with simple patterns. Otherwise (professional language) the pattern is called a pattern. 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 the big screen in any graphics editor, enlarge the pattern to right size. It’s even easier for me - my screen is a large TV. :)

Attach to the screen thick paper or tracing paper, 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 " natural size» bags (even if it doesn’t even fit in full 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 it at home suitable color, 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 silk or other fine fabric with a slight sheen, embroidered or beaded.

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 beautiful decoration 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 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

Very interesting idea- 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 - it will turn out 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.

Women's tweed bag - necessary thing on a journey. 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 however you like, even though sea shells, at least paint 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.

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- 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 instruction sewing a "postman bag":

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.
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.
The seam will need to be ironed, and the lace attached to the front of the fabric, and then stitched.

We fold the pieces of fabric with the front sides, sew side seams.
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.
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.

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.
We sew according to the drawing, leaving the largest edge not stitched.
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.
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.

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.
Bend the valve front side bags and mark on its base the place where we will attach the magnet.
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.
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.
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.
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.

After it is done, the existing fur is laid out in the direction of the pile, pattern.
Elements of the future product are placed on it parallel to the center of the cut. Circle the details with an automatic pen so that the line is noticeable.

Master Class. How to sew a bag from jeans with your own hands:

How to sew a shoulder bag with your own hands:

For summer, a bright fabric bag is a real find. For a walk, to the beach, to the store, to meet friends - you will have many reasons to "walk" a new accessory. In addition, the "highlight" of this DIY fabric bag is that it easily folds into a compact cosmetic bag and just as easily transforms into a large, roomy bag!

The cosmetic bag, when opened, is the bottom of the bag itself.
It can be round, oval or rectangular with rounded edges.

Assembled bags

Cosmetic bag assembly

So, first let's start making the cosmetic bag itself. You will need materials such as:

Zipper (at least 10 cm, you can - longer). You can cut the zipper from old trousers, jeans, skirts.
Large 40 cm long zipper (again, can be cut from something used, for example, bags).
Makeup pattern. One of its details will be from the outer fabric, the other from the lining material, and the third from dublerin.

No seam allowances are needed on dublerin, only a hole for a zipper is needed

The process of assembling a cosmetic bag takes place in several steps.

First, it is necessary to cut out blanks for a cosmetic bag from fabric and dublerin. Then, using an iron, you need to glue the doubler to the wrong side of the outer part, while centering it so that the same fabric edging is obtained on each side.

The outer fabric with glued dublerin and the lining must be folded together right sides. Next, along the long edges of the zipper hole, you need to lay a machine line. All seams at the beginning and at the end of the line - fasten. Make sure these two lines are the same length.

Next, carefully cut the fabric through two layers along the intended line.

The lining must be pulled to the front side through the hole. The edges of the hole need to be smoothed well so that it turns out even.

The zipper should be placed under the hole (under two layers of fabric), stitched along the edges of the hole. Thus we will sew a zipper. It is better to use a special zipper foot.

Now determine where the cosmetic bag will fold in half, and then along this line, lay the seam through two layers of fabric.

This line in the photo is at the top, above the sewn zipper

Turn the wallet upside down. The lining layer is divided into two halves. The half without a zipper should be wrapped over the half with a zipper, this is how you can form the lining of the pocket. To secure the fabric, you need to lay a line close to the edge. The pocket is ready!

Now it's time to attach the long zipper. Again, install the zipper foot on the sewing machine. We turn the cosmetic bag right side up, and the zipper so that its wrong side is visible. We sew a zipper, starting from the middle of the cosmetic bag.

In the photo, the middle is marked with a tailor's pin with a red head.

Make sure the zipper is sewn on slightly tight. This will make it easy to open and close. The pink line is the seam line, it should not go very close to the zipper teeth.

The photo shows that at the very beginning the tail of the zipper is slightly curved - sew the same way.

Sew the zipper along the edge of the wallet carefully, make small cuts on the zipper tape so that it fits well on the rounded edges.

Having reached the other end of the middle line, you need to bend the zipper so that its teeth reach almost to the very top of the middle line, and the rest of the loose zipper is perpendicular to the cosmetic bag.

Now you need to sew a zipper around the second edge of the cosmetic bag. The zipper must be bent symmetrically along the second side, starting from the center line.

We sew until we get to the place where the lightning begins. Next, you need to similarly bend the zipper head so that it is symmetrical with respect to the middle line of the cosmetic bag and secure its end well. Make sure the zipper is sewn symmetrically about the middle!

Makeup is ready! We put it aside and proceed directly to sewing the fabric bag itself with our own hands.

Assembling the bag

Before you start sewing the bag itself, you need to prepare everything you need:

Fabric - 30 * 67.5 cm
Two pieces of fabric for pens, each - 7 * 33 cm.

Measurements already include all seam allowances. First we will make the straps of our bag.

To do this, both long edges of the fabric must be folded 6 mm inside out, ironed.

Machine stitch along the long edges and the straps are ready.

Now they need to be placed above the top edge of the bag.

Above this topmost edge, the ends of the straps should protrude 2.5 cm. Sew the straps in place.

We continue to sew the bag with our own hands, the master class is already at the equator itself, the hardest part is behind.

We pull the straps up, bend the upper edge of the bag 1 cm inside out. We smooth this place with an iron.

And now we have to sew a cosmetic bag (which will serve as the basis) to the bag itself. We make 4 marks along the base of the bag, the same - along the circumference of the cosmetic bag. We put the wallet and bag right sides together. We align all the corresponding marks, making sure that the straps are located against the long edge of the wallet. If necessary, pin with pins. Sew along the edge to secure.

Very important points to help you get the job done right:

You need to use a special zipper foot - you will not see the zipper between the layers of fabric, but the foot will help you feel the teeth of the zipper.
The product must be placed under the zipper foot so that the material of the bag is on top, and the fabric of the wallet is on the bottom. Just not vice versa.
On the seam allowance (along the base of the bag) you need to make small cuts. This is necessary so that our fabric bends more easily.

Now we sew along the edge of the base of the bag, except for one point (where the tail of the zipper “meets” that very middle line). We fix the seam, leaving a hole of about 1-1.5 cm.

The hole is necessary so that the zipper slider can pass through it later.

After that, you will see that the base of the bag is almost ready.

And the bag itself will look like this:

The bag must be turned right side out and the slider very carefully pushed through the hole left.

Now we turn the bag inside out again, cut off the seam allowances, the extra zipper tape (to reduce it). Previously, this cannot be done in any way, otherwise the slider will simply fall out.

Well, we can say that the bag itself is ready. You can, however, sew a finishing seam along the edges of the cosmetic bag. This way it will look neater. And do not forget to secure the edges of the hole that was left to push the slider through. To do this, you need to bend the seam allowances and the zipper tape under the cosmetic bag and sew the finishing seam through all layers, except for the fabric of the bag itself (move it aside).

When you reach the hole, sew it very carefully, as close as possible to the edge around the slider.

And now the bag is definitely ready, while we put it aside.

Of course, you already understood how to sew such a bag with your own hands, but this is not the end of the work)

We sew a lining

To make the lining we need:

Lining fabric for the bag - 30 * 67.5 cm (together with seam allowances). We recommend choosing nylon as a fabric, it is waterproof and does not unravel.
A piece of lining fabric, cut along the contour of the cosmetic bag. Account for seam allowances.

Sew up the side, attach the base of the bag. This is done by analogy with the previous work (tailoring the bag itself). But it will be easier to do all this now, because you don’t need to insert a zipper, as well as leave a hole. Just make a seam around the very base to secure it. Make sure that the oval of the base of the lining clearly matches the shape of the base of the bag itself. After all, this is not a circle that can be sewn in any way, you have to try.

Make sure that the side seam is done correctly, the lining is completely in line with the shape of the bag.

Final assembly of the bag

Let's move on to the end of our work. Turn the bag right side out. The lining remains turned inside out. Then proceed according to the scheme:

Insert the wrong side inside the bag, remembering to align their oval bases.

Align the folded upper edges of the two layers, sew close to the edge with a finishing seam. This will hold the two layers together.

Now we make another seam around the entire perimeter, 2.5 cm below the previous one. The second seam will secure the ends of the straps of our bag.

Hooray! Finally, our transformer bag is ready!

Now fold it up and zip it up.

We got a cosmetic bag, a wallet or a small clutch that you can take with you anywhere.

What is the beauty of this product? First of all, in its compactness, smart and matching your clothes. appearance. A cute, aesthetic product that is in no way inferior to its store counterparts. Putting it in your usual bag or in the glove compartment of a car, for example, you will get it at the right time, and then hide it again. Such a transforming bag is a practical and very fashionable thing. The product can have a completely different shape, and even color solutions simply cannot be counted.

Color compatibility

Let's say we have already figured out how to make a bag with our own hands, but how to choose the right color and texture of the fabric?

Today, the choice of fabrics allows our imagination to run wild as much as we like. Someone loves pastel colors that do not go out of fashion - this will be an interesting, classic solution.

Of particular note are bright bags with a floral print. They attract attention to their owner, and now you compare favorably with women with ordinary packages or template shopping bags! This bag looks great at the height of summer on the beach.

The following unions are in fashion today:

Pink + gray
Lilac + pink
Pink + purple
Blue + yellow
Light green + orange
Red + orange
White + emerald

You can dream up and choose a fabric with a childish pattern or a print that imitates the design of bags from Louis Vuitton.

If you decide to change the design of the bag a little, remember:

the circumference of the bag should always correspond to the perimeter of the cosmetic bag
the main zipper should be at least 7 or 8 cm longer than the perimeter
it is better to use a long zipper: you will cut off the excess part at the end, and working with a long zipper is much easier.

Try, experiment, despite the long description, this work will not take very much time. In the process, you yourself will guess how and what to do next. Having sewn one such bag, you will surely decide to make your girlfriends happy with such a useful and stylish product. By the way, what a great handmade gift!
