Large roomy shopping bags are perfect for trips, beaches, shopping — and it's great o sew one that would perfectly match your look :)
Today I offer you to sew a bag with your own hands. Without a pattern and from scrap materials. I used:
- a piece of homespun 55 cm by 80 cm
- a piece of cotton for the lining
- cotton strap for handles (100-130 cm)
- wooden button
- and monochrome term print for decor
First, cut off a little fringe:
Fold the rug in half lengthwise and stitch the side and bottom seams. Always overstitch so that the edge didn't crumble.
Shape the bottom:
Cut off excess fabric:
Similarly, prepare the lining:
Assemble all the parts before sewing them together:
Bend the handles up and stitch them:
All is ready. Now iron the temp decoration, I selected such dog:
The plastic base is removed when all is cool. If the pattern doesn't stick to the bag, iron this place once again over the film:
This is the result :) Wish you much creativity!
