Instructions
Step 1
Decide which bag you need: style, color, size and shape. What material it will be made of, for what purposes it is intended. Think about what pockets, valves, compartments you need to make, where to place them - inside or outside. Draw a sketch of the future product on paper. Now start preparing the pattern.
Step 2
For shopping or going to the beach, a spacious and rather simple bag made of raincoat fabric, jeans, thick cotton fabric, burlap, etc. is suitable. It can also be crocheted or knitted. Draw a large rectangle on a piece of paper to construct a pattern. This will be the sidewall of the product, in total - 2 parts.
Step 3
For such a bag, make one long handle or two short ones - one on each of the side edges. The handle consists of two rectangular pieces, which are then sewn together. The size of the rectangle depends on the desired handle size. It can also be knitted, woven or made from a decorative ribbon, belt, chain. Also prepare a 4-5 cm wide hem for the top of the bag.
Step 4
The lining pattern is built according to the same dimensions minus 1 cm in length and without the width of the facing in height. Make paper templates for the pockets on the inside and outside of the bag. Their size and shape depend on the intended use. Remember to leave a hem allowance when cutting the material. Use a zipper, duct tape, buttons, or buttons to secure the bag.
Step 5
To make the bag more spacious, cut out a rectangular bottom and separately two pieces to add volume to the sides. Their length at the bottom should be equal to the width of the bottom, at the top it gradually tapers to 3-4 cm. The height of the parts is equal to the height of the bag. For example, if the sidewall of the bag has a size of 40 by 30 cm, then the size of the bottom can be 40 by 6 cm and the part for adding volume on the sides from the bottom is 6 cm, from the top - 3 cm and its height - 30 cm.
