The coming winter makes us remember everything cozy, warm, furry that we have. Disassembling the wardrobe, you can find a bunch of things that have not been used for a long time, but will not find a new use for themselves. Fur lined bags have been relevant for more than the first season, maybe it is in her that a fluffy hat will find its second life?
It is necessary
- - Fur;
- - lining fabric;
- - Velcro fastener;
- - sewing machine;
- - wire 2mm thick;
- - round nose pliers.
Instructions
Step 1
The shape and size of your future bag will depend on the thing from which you are going to sew this bag. It is better to take this thing or selected parts from it to dry cleaning beforehand, since with long or improper storage, natural fur acquires a musty smell, which is undesirable to transfer to a new product. In any case, professional cleaning will not be superfluous. If you did not find anything suitable for a new bag in old things, then buy a piece of faux fur - now they have learned how to make it in a large assortment and very similar to natural.
Step 2
Choose the type of clasp and handles that you would like to see on your bag. It is easier to make a Velcro fastener - to sew it to the lining, but many are more attracted by the classic “zipper”. To sew a zipper, you need to make the edges of the bag entrance not fur, but leather or from a substitute - the fur will surely fall between the teeth and, in the end, break the fastener. Try to sew leather handles and attach them to the bag using metal rings. You can think of something original, for example handles made of metal wire with a diameter of 2-3 mm, covered with a decorative cord.
Step 3
Cut out the details of the bag - two identical pieces of the shape you need. Repeat these details from the lining fabric. By the way, it's better not to save on the lining - you won't have to patch holes from keys and other little things later. A bag made of plain fur with colorful lining looks smart, but don't forget to cut a couple of pockets out of the same fabric. Sew the zip pocket and simple pocket immediately and stitch to the lining. Part the Velcro fastener and sew to different sides of the bag. Fold the lining parts right sides and sew to each other along the side seams.
Step 4
For pens, take two pieces of wire about 40 cm each, bend all ends of the wire into loops using round nose pliers. Round the handles themselves equally. Cut two pieces of nicely coiled cord to a length that fits the handles. Attach the end of the cord to the loop of the wire and, gradually untwisting the loops and again weaving them around the wire, tighten the two handles of the bag. Carefully "comb" the pile of fur from the edges, baste the halves of the bag to each other. Sew the details of the bag and turn it inside out. Sew the handles on the eyelets now, before you have yet sewed the lining to the bag.
Step 5
Still straightening the pile, stitch the lining to the bag and turn the product inside out. The seam connecting the two can be left as it is by gently ironing on the side of the lining of the bag, or it can be trimmed with a bias tape in the color of the lining or a leather strip. Gently sew the bottom of the lining and place it in the bag.
