Any model chosen by you, made with your own hands, will be very individual. Let's look at how to sew a bag.

Let's start with the simplest. To sew a bag "banana" it is possible any size, using various materials. Having made it big, you will get a sports variant. Using a denim fabric and choosing an average size, - get a youth option. And having made such a small handbag and made it out of satin or thin skin, get an evening accessory.

We will consider the evening bag. It is assembled from three main parts: two sides of a round shape and a base in the form of a rectangle, the length of which corresponds to the diameter of the side pieces. To begin with, cut out the pattern of the sides of the desired size. We measure the diameter. We cut out the template of the main part, the width of which is taken arbitrarily, according to your desire, and the length is equal to the diameter of the side parts with the addition of 2 centimeters to sew the zipper.

We need a detachment of dense satin and lining fabric, an application made of rhinestone and a decorative lock. Handles for bags can be made from a fabric or decorative chain. We cut out from the satin and lining fabric two round details and one main, adding on each side one centimeter to the seam. The length of the lock should match the width of our handbag.

Take the main part from the lining and sew on the sides of the round parts. We get a cylinder of cloth with an unclosed entrance. In the main part of the atlas we sew decorative zipper. To the received "pipe" we sew side details. Now we put the sewn lining into the bag, so that all the seams are inside. Open the slice for the zipper on the lining we fold from both sides inside and pin to the zipper with the help of needles. We lay a decorative line, connecting the satin handbag with the lining along the zipper, and remove the needles.

Now you need to make a pen. On this model of the bag the handle can be either long or short. We make two short. We measure the necessary length of the handle. We cut out two parts of the necessary length and width. For greater density, you need to glue the cut strips with non-woven fleece.

Cut out a strip of non-woven, in size smaller than the handle part by one centimeter in all sections. We lay out the workpiece of the handle with the wrong side up and place the adhesive on it with the glue side down. We moistly wet the parts from the spray gun and iron it. Under the influence of steam, they are well bonded. Now put our workpieces along in half, bend the allowances on the seams and press them. We lay a decorative stitch along the entire length of the handle from both sides, connecting the edges.

On the bag note the location of the handles. We impose them on marks, we twist the ends inside and, preliminary prikolov by needles, well we sew. Sewing a bag is not enough. It is required to decorate it. To do this, we take the selected application from the rhinestones and paste it with an iron to the chosen place. This version of the patterns will allow you to quickly sew a bag of leather. And the color of the selected material and various decorative details will make it a perfect addition to your costume.
