DIY bag: choosing a style and materials to create a fashion accessory (55 photos). Handbag for a girl: a master class A simple do-it-yourself children's handbag

Handbag for a girl
Good afternoon everyone! Yesterday I decided to show sewn handbags for girls and received an offer from mothers to make a master class. There have already been questions about the materials and where they were purchased. The bags shown are made from American cotton. I order colored Velcro, braid, buttons through online stores, there is practically nothing like this in our city.
Some moments in the process of work can be missed, something can be changed in the sequence of operations. I chose the best option for myself, you will customize them for yourself, as you prefer.

We select everything you need. A small omission - there is no adhesive fabric in the photo. Here I have an adhesive on a knitted basis.


Pattern with dimensions. As you can see, nothing complicated.


Ready to glue the fabric. I put the pattern in order to draw your attention to the fact that when cutting out the adhesive, I made adhesive allowances along the side seams, and did not make an adhesive allowance on the upper cuts. We do exactly the same for the front side of the handbag, and for the lining.


Cut out the adhesive for the valves. It is also exactly the same for the front part and for the lining.


When gluing, I immediately fold and iron the upper edges of the bag. You can not do this and bend it when connecting the front and lining parts of the bag, but it’s more convenient for me - it turns out more accurately, nothing moves out anywhere.


We connect both parts of the valve face inward, we fix the valve template.


We sew on three sides of the valve, there is no need to sew the top.


Where stitched, cut off excess fabric.


We turn it inside out, iron it, stitch along the edge, sew on the hard part of the Velcro.


We sew on an ornament that closes the line on the front side of the valve. I decided to make a pocket. First, we do everything as we did for the handbag valve: we cut out two parts according to the valve template, glued them, aligned them with the front sides inward, stitched them, leaving the upper, straight part of the part unsewn. Then it goes in a different way: we turn it inside out, tuck the unsewn part of the part inside and flash it. In the picture above - the flap of the clasp, below - a pocket.


Sew the pocket to the front side of the lining.


We sew the side seams of the parts of the handbag. Attention: the ironed hem of the parts must be bent.


We smooth the seams, correcting the hem. Don't take this as nonsense detailed description. Some intermediate steps can be skipped. But for those who are not confident in their skills, they will sew according to this, one might say, cheat sheet and avoid annoying mistakes.


Getting ready to stitch the corners. We pin it with a pin so that nothing shifts and draw a straight line along which the seam will pass. Its length is 6 cm.


We cut off the corners. In the photo, I left one corner uncut to show what should happen when stitching the corners. You can not cut them, it's up to you.

We turn the front of the bag inside out with a pattern, insert the lining part into it, equalize the upper edge and pin it with pins. Why are we doing this? So that later you can scribble without worrying that somewhere something has slipped and become uneven, sloppy. Showing each side.


The front part of the handbag: connecting the front part with the lining, we place the pins closer to the top of the handbag, they will not interfere with us there.


Side part - we place the pins at some distance to the right and left of the side seam, so that in the future they do not interfere with us when we place the handbag handle in place.


The back of the bag - we place the pins lower than on the front wall of the bag so that you can insert the fastener valve.


Here's what we got.


Handbag handle. This time I cut out the handle from the fabric, like the lining of the handbag, and sewed a rep ribbon on top. She closed the seam on the handle. I stitched around the perimeter of the part.


We find the middle of the back wall of the handbag and the middle of the valve. We insert the valve between the front and back parts of the handbag, combining the marks, fix it with pins.


We determine the handle of the handbag in place, we also fix it.


Sew the top edge of the bag. Sew on the front wall of the soft part of the Velcro.


Congratulations! Our bag is ready! With the tailoring of the following handbags, you can already handle it effortlessly.

From this master class you will learn how to sew a children's handbag with your own hands. We will talk about making a fairly simple bag for a girl in the form of a cute bunny. The instructions are very simple, and even a novice master can master them. If your child is not quite small, but is already studying in primary school, then this lesson is quite suitable for teaching a girl the art of sewing.

In the article you will find a detailed master class on sewing a children's handbag, the necessary patterns and photos of the process. We note right away that the accessory can be made of any size, so we will not dwell on the numbers - this does not make sense. Regarding the fabric, the choice is also free.

What will we need?

  • fabric for exterior
  • fabric for interior decoration
  • lining material
  • durable sewing thread
  • marker

To sew the inner lining of a children's handbag, we advise you to take a thin synthetic winterizer and natural fabric(like cotton). Suitable for any exterior beautiful fabric that you feel comfortable working with.

How to sew a handbag?

First you need to draw a pattern. It looks like this.

As you can see, this is a very simple stencil that is fairly easy to draw. If desired, it is easy to change it and sew a children's handbag in the form of a kitten, a mouse and a fox or any other animal that can be recognized by its ears and characteristic muzzle.

Cut out first paper template, and then we make 2 blanks from fabric for interior decoration, 2 for exterior, 2 more from material for lining. Be sure to iron everything.

First of all, we need to sew together one part of the synthetic winterizer with one part of the fabric for interior decoration. Then do this with the two remaining pieces.

The next step is to sew the fabric for the outside of the bag with the freshly fastened blanks. We do this from the wrong side - leave room for eversion.

It is better to always sew a handle for a children's handbag not from a ready-made strap (they are too hard), but from the same fabric as the accessory itself. If you don’t feel like extra fuss, take a beautiful braid in the form of a pigtail or a bright lace - anyway, the children do not carry anything heavy in their bags, so it will definitely withstand the load.

At the last stage, we sew the two resulting parts of the bunny bag together and attach the handle to it.

Take a marker and draw a muzzle on the resulting accessory. If you do not have a marker that will not wash off when washed, you can sew on ready-made images of the eyes or embroider the outlines with floss threads.

Girls are like little women - without a handbag, nowhere.

Huge variety bags for girls in the store, but you can’t buy 100% in the store like the one sewed by the craftswoman Tatyana from Ukraine.

Interesting story behind this bag.

Tatyana did not think, did not guess that such a nice idea - .

And the button was to blame for everything, to which the craftswoman at the beginning did not even pay attention. And I bought it (kitty's button), as we usually buy, well, "to be", so "just in case", "what if it comes in handy" ...

And when she came home, having sorted out her purchases, Tatyana realized that this is what she needed. And on the very first evening, this picture appeared in my head handbag for girls.

Or maybe you will follow the example of Tatyana. And what is a win-win option. If not denim, then there are sure to be old jeans in the house. After all, you can sew a beautiful bag.

Moreover, Tatyana kindly shared with the needlewomen a pattern of such a beautiful DIY handbags.

And so for work we need:

  • jeans,
  • fleece,
  • striped fabric and polka dots (knitwear is possible),
  • fabric for lining (can be calico)

This bag for girls with a long handle over the shoulder.

For the handle, cut out a rectangle 7 X 50 cm. Bend the rectangle in half. When finished, the pen should be 3.5 x 50 cm in size.

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.

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 GUCI bags, they were originally given for making paper models, but they can just as well 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 graphic editor, enlarge the pattern to the desired size. It’s even easier for me - my screen is a large TV. :)

Attach loose paper or tracing paper to the screen, fix and circle with a soft pencil. If you are planning to sew 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 little owlet will great gift for girl or girls. 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 fashion, t-shirts and jeans. By clicking on the link, you can see a few different colors th versions.

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 left good unworn pieces of land. 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.

Hardware selection

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 silver fittings are used. golden color simultaneously. 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 made of silk or other fine fabric with a slight sheen, with embroidery or beading.

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 don't know how or don't want to knit, you can still make your own. knitted accessory on one's own. Do you know from what? From unnecessary knitwear- pullovers, sweaters of large or small knitting. Or use old bag for alteration 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 on the bottom, to them and tie knitted details. 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 - you get a 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 scared - these are three clutches, standing friend after another. 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 an exhibition of handmade masters. There were also cases for mobile phones, and even simply capacious, but very light baskets and baskets made of felt for shopping trips to 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.

Sewing a bag with your own hands is easy. In just a few hours, you can create a fashion accessory that is comfortable and beautiful.

How many bags should be in the wardrobe? Men will answer this question unambiguously: one or two. Women will think, and will not be able to say the exact figure.

A capacious bag, a clutch bag, a summer bag made of cotton fabric, a travel bag, a backpack, a purse bag for walking, an expensive bag of a famous designer. The list is endless.

Tip: Buy these fashion accessories every new season expensive, but the products can be sewn independently. Spend a little time making a masterpiece, and your collection will be replenished with unique and stylish handbags.
