Laptop Bag
If you approach the process creatively and sew a bag to yourself, it's better to have a student's version of it, then the result can be no worse than the purchase. The first thing to do is take old jeans, if not, take it from a friend, wash and pat them. Then, turn inside out and neatly spread out on the table. Now gently cut off the two legs and the bottom of the top of the jeans. Should be a denim short. Then it is necessary to sweep the bottom of the skirt in a circle. Rounding should be done at the lower extreme corners. And then just lay a thick line on the resulting line with a sewing machine and turn out the formed bag.
The next step is to cut the lateral longitudinal seams from the two-legged. Do this necessary in the place where the fabric of jeans is sewn overlapping, forming a lamp. They will be the handles of the bag. In places closer to the sides, under the belt, make four holes for the handles. Their width should not exceed the width of the lamp. Then, from the outside, pass the handle into the two holes at the ends and from the inside, fasten the thick thick knots so that the knobs do not tie. In the same way, you need to make a second handle. All. The bag for your laptop is ready! It remains only to apply it in practice.
Bag with long handle
From jeans that once served you faithfully, you can make a stylish elegant handbag for your own purposes. Starting with a simple one - we cut off the leggings from jeans, erase them, and then iron them. Now you need to tear the internal seams of the pants and also iron them, while turning on the steaming mode. You should get two pieces for the next pattern. The width of the future bag and the length of its pens will depend on the size of these blanks. Now it is necessary to make a drawing of 2 solid bags of the bag: the first part is the outside of the bag, and also the part of the handle. The second part is the rest of the handle and the inside.
The pattern should resemble a semicircular pocket from below. The upper corner of the pocket is extended and a handle is made from it - a belt, more precisely, its half. Now it is necessary to transfer the pattern to the fabric and cut out two identical parts from it. In this case, the knobs of the handle are from different sides - one on the right, the other - on the left. Next, we pay attention to the lower parts of the part. We add 2 tucks to each one, so that your fashionable bag does not turn out to be flat. We spend it on the sewing machine. After this two details must be folded inside and zastrochit creped minitami, down to the handles. Then alternately bend the edges and stitch. Then connect the handles and gently sew the tops. This is your bag with a long handle ready.
If you want to give the bag a more mischievous look, you can sew parts on the outside and dissolve the edges of the handles and seams. You can decorate handles with leather edging or zippers. You can give the bag a unique look with embroidery or appliques. You can decorate the bag with pieces of cloth, leather, drape, ribbons and other materials.
Denim handbag for children
Even small fashionistas can please themselves with self-made bags of old jeans. To sew such a handbag and boast of her forefathers, you need not so much jeans as their pockets. Handbag in several stages.
We cut off the back pockets, directly with the tissue near them. In the end, the length should be about one and a half centimeter from both sides. Inside the pockets, we cut the fabric and leave five millimeters of allowances near the seams.
We decorate the pockets with appliqués or different embroideries right now, since it will be difficult for you to do this on a finished bag. If you want to have your pockets on your bag, namely from the front and back sides, this will have to be done too at this stage.
Now it is required to fold both pockets inside the sides, sweep or fasten them with pins, and then insert the strap into the upper corners of the bag and sew the sides and edges of the bag, while laying the seam exactly at the place where the seam from the former pockets was laid.
Secure the seats at the top of the bag with a few neat stitches. It can be done both on the machine and manually. However, preference is best given to the manual line, since the sewing machine can simply not be stitched in these places.
Now you need to make a fringe of fabric that protrudes the flaps where it remained on the seams on the side and bottom of the handbag.
As you can see, the old jeans did not roll around at all, they just waited for their time. To make a bag of them, as it turned out, is not difficult. You can use for the patternabsolutely any place of jeans, even trousers, even the upper parts or even odnikarmany. In addition, you can sew multicolored rags, from which you can then make a patchwork cloth, and then make the patterns of the parts from the bag.
