DIY shoulder bag

Different bags are needed, different bags are important. It is with this phrase that you can continue the theme of bags on our website, because girls try to carefully select this accessory for each of their looks.

The shoulder strap model firmly holds a leading position in the ranking of the most comfortable bags.

How to sew a shoulder bag and what pattern? This is what our article will be about.

Baggage with a shoulder strap can be of different shapes: square, semicircle, rectangle. The following patterns will allow craftswomen to sew a model, taking into account their desires and preferences for the color of fabric, leather and other details.

You can choose the most diverse material for sewing bags: natural and artificial leather, jeans, corduroy, tarpaulin.

This is a roomy bag with a convenient webbing as a fastener. The shape allows you to decorate it with applique, lace, flounces from different fabrics.

Luggage with one-piece handles. This pattern will make a good beach bag. A big advantage when creating a model will be the absence of separate sewing of handles. One-piece handles are sewn along with the main parts.

According to the scheme, you can sew a saddle bag made of leather or imitation leather. The style attracts attention with its flap, to which you can attach a magnetic fastener.

A cute clutch will allow you to keep all the necessary little things at hand if the girls have planned a walk in the park or a meeting with friends. The chain strap will make it stylish and effective.

The photo shows three styles of the product at once. Each pattern has its own advantages.

1. The banana style resembles a gym bag, which is suitable for sports.
2. The pouch with a drawstring consists of several gussets and a long shoulder strap. You can sew such a pouch with or without a lining. In the first case, it is worth choosing dense fabrics that will keep the shape of the luggage well. Any lightweight material will do for a lined handbag.
3. The third option resembles a saddle bag. Its shape allows you to choose any finish: applique, patch, embroidery and other decor.

The strap allows you to carry carry-on luggage over your shoulder. Everyone has long been accustomed to the fact that the length of the strap must be adjustable. Therefore, we get down to business.

Would need:

1. Belt material.
2. Carbine.
3. Non-woven or felt (if the belt is made of leather).

The sewing stages are as follows:

• Cut the strap to the desired length and width. The size of the width is taken arbitrary, but in the finished form the strap must correspond to the width of the buckle. Take the double width of the belt when cutting. The buckle will allow you to adjust the length of the strap.

• The length of the strap is taken taking into account the adjustment in the finished product.
• Cut the flizeline with a length equal to the length of the belt and a width reduced by 0.5 mm. This will make the shoulder strap look even and beautiful when sewing.
• Place the non-woven fabric inside the belt, fold the belt and machine stitch.
• Now you need to insert the buckle into the belt for adjustment.

The video shows how to correctly insert such accessories.

• The carabiner will allow you to unfasten the belt. If the luggage is made of fabric, the carabiner must be inserted through the ends of the belt and sewn on. In the bag, rings or small loops must first be inserted into which the carabiner will cling.
• On a leather belt, the carabiner should be secured with a holder. Insert the carabiner into the leather strap blank from one side.
• Fold in the edge, punch a hole under the cap and insert the part. The holniten can be inserted by itself using a machine or hammer. The bag repair shop will definitely help you solve this problem.
• The second edge of the belt is processed in the same way as the first.

A master class on making one of the models is in the next video.

Cross body has long been used by girls in everyday life. The sequence of all sewing operations on how to create a cross-body from fabric is disassembled point by point.

To make a cross body you need:

• Textile;
• Pattern;
• Carbine;
• Threads;
• Magnetic button;
• Semiring.

Such drawings will be required:

• 2 rectangles, 20x24 in size;
• Belt: size 7x 110 cm, short belt 7x10 cm;
• Valve: 2 rectangles (17x20 cm);
• Large inner pocket: size (20x17 cm);
• Small inner pocket (20x13 cm).

Let's start sewing:

• At the pockets, process the entrance: tuck the fabric by 0.5 cm, then another cm. At the smaller pocket, turn the bottom edge.
• We mark the small pocket on the front side of the large pocket and sew in the center, we get 2 pockets. We fasten the sides of the pockets with a basting.
• We pin the pockets with the wrong side on the front side of the lining and outline.

• We fold the valve parts with the front side inward and stitch them on the machine on three sides. We turn out the valve and lay a straight line along the edge of the part. Sew on one part of the magnet.
• Fold the long belt and two short ones in half and sew on the machine.

• Fold the lining with its face inward and sew on 3 sides. Turn out the finished lining.
• How do I get the bottom of the bag? We fold the bottom with a corner as in the photo (the bottom and side seams should be visible). We retreat 2.5 cm from the edge along the side seam, draw a straight line and sew along it.

• Cut off the excess fabric, leaving a 1 cm allowance.

• Similarly, according to the 2 previous points, create another corner. We leave the lining on the wrong side.
• We fold the main parts of the bag with the wrong side out and sew. The corners should be processed in the same way as on the lining, and the bag should be turned out.
• Assembling luggage: attach the flap with the outside to the back wall of the bag, lay a basting at the top.
• Baste the main strap to one of the side seams. Belt, which is shorter, fold in half and sweep to the other side.

• Pull the lining over the base of the bag face to face, pinch off and sew on the sides and bottom.

• Unscrew the product through the hole left on the lining, iron it with an iron and lay the machine stitch in a circle.

• Insert the carabiner into the strap, decide on the length and sew.

• Lower the flap, make a mark for sewing on the second part of the magnetic button.
• Sew up the walnut with hidden stitches, through which it was useful for turning the product inside out.

Such an original clutch will turn out in a one-cut pattern. Felt and felt do not crumble, so this material will be the most convenient for creating a masterpiece.

The future clutch will require a two-way zipper. Followed by:

1. Measure the finished pattern.
2. Cut out 1 piece and sew on a zipper.
3. The handles can be sewn with a buttonhole.

Such a bag attracts attention with its good capacity. In such a model, you can put a netbook and, of course, a tablet. The bag is disguised as an ordinary women's luggage. She will replace the usual bag for computer equipment, and will delight her mistress with a bright fashionable print.

The tablet bag is like a cross body. Using the detailed instructions for creating a cross body, you can sew a tablet bag.

All of the above models are sewn from fabric. In terms of practicality, any material is inferior to products made from natural and artificial leather. But! There are always events in life where, to create a complete image, you will need feminine and original reticules, seductive pouches or attractive clutches for little things.

If the girls have basic knowledge of sewing and certain skills, then, relying on any master class, you can create a bag for any pattern.

Carry-on luggage is convenient for trips to household and grocery stores. Any thick fabric and lining will work to create a tote bag.

On the fabric, make the following cut: 2 - main fabric, 2 - lining.

The next steps:

1. Align the main part of the product with the lining facing inward, sew the handles on the machine. Make notches with scissors and turn them out. Repeat this step for the second wall of the product.
2. Combine two ready-made parts of the bag inside out, sweep and stitch on the machine.
