Master class how to sew a bag
- Prepare our multi-colored squares - lay them on the perimeter of the future valve bags. Carefully select them by color - the same patches should be placed as far apart as possible. Then we sew from the draft seam.
- Now we sew each row of shreds along the sewing machine.
- Now iron all the allowances from the wrong side in different directions.
- This is what the future valve bag for the beach on the front side looks like.
- Then we spread the transverse seams of the shreds.
- Next, we need to smooth out the allowances, but it does not matter, in one direction we either press them or in different ways.
- Our blank for the front of the valve is ready, we can put it aside.
- Now we take a big cut of jeans, we sew the finished part of the valve and we trim the workpiece along the contour with a dark blue ribbon.
- Now proceed to quilting the summer bag. Take two pieces of sealant 18x5 and fix them to the top of the valve and in place of the bottom.
- Then we add the workpieces in the following way - we lay the lining fabric under the bottom, then filler, in our case tight jersey, on top of the denim base and gently squeeze the entire structure. The valve is better for stitching along the seam between the scraps.
- That's how neatly we hid the seal on the top of the valve.
- Now back off from the edge of the valve 5 cm and cut the fabric. We prepare the zipper by sewing jeans patches on its edges.
- Sew the zipper to both parts of the workpiece and get the entrance to the large pocket of the female bag.
- Now you can make several internal pockets from the lining fabric.
- Next, sew the buckle or buttonhole to the underside of the bag.
- Then we lace the valve with the front and the underside side.
- We sew on the jeans fabric a button or a loop for fastening.
- Here's a billet for the bag we got. Now we can estimate its size and shape.
- Now we will deal with the sides, on which the pockets will also be located, one on each side. Cut out the paper patterns from the paper in the following sizes: height 19 cm, top 6 cm, 8 cm. The pocket is cut out at an arbitrary height.
- Now we make the details from the fabric for the side walls of the bag, cut out the jeans with a lining and sew the ribbon with a rough seam. Under the pockets, the lining can not be hemmed.
- Next, we quilt the details and sew the pockets to the side walls with a rough seam.
- Then we lace the sides with braid, from above we attach rings, on which the handle will be fixed.
- The side walls of our bag are ready, it's time to try them on. After making sure that everything was perfect, we will sew them to the base of the bag with a rough seam.
- Now we sew the bag on the sides. Even with a sewing machine, this is easier to do manually.
- Our bag is ready, it remains to turn it on the front side.
- This is how our beach bag looks inside
- It remains to sew a pen. Since the bag itself turned out bright and colorful, there is no need to decorate the handle, we will make it as simple as possible. Cut the strip of fabric 10x60 cm, fold it twice, wrap the edges inside, spread out along the edge and ready! Sew it to the rings of the bag.
Now is the time to go to the beach with a new wonderful summer bag sewn by yourself.
