A bag for hiking on the beach is quite possible to make yourself. To do this, you must have a typewriter, choose the right material for the base and lining, come up with a style. Well, of course, you should have some skills in cutting and sewing.
Material and shape
What should be a
beach bag? It is easier to sew with your own hands for the first time the style is simpler. For example, rectangular or trapezoidal. Such bags are quite roomy, comfortable and practical. It is advisable to make the handles more authentic, so as not only to carry in the hands, but also to hang on the shoulder. And, of course, she must have pockets, internal ones - for a wallet, glasses and other necessary items. As for the material, the
bag you are going to sew
with your own hands can reflect your tastes and style preferences. Color pick a bright, elegant. In the end, even the beach, it is still an accessory. Agree that with a gray burlap in your hands you will obviously not be comme il faut, especially if you yourself are in a fashionable swimsuit and the corresponding outfit. In addition, this is a summer option, and summer is always associated with a riot of colors, a sparkle of light, a joyful, high spirits. The type of fabric is also a difficult question. Best for beginners is a
denim bag. It’s easier to sew jeans
with your own hands , it is an “obedient” material, convenient in cutting and processing. But various kinds of raincoat fabric, upholstery type fabrics, leatherette, etc. are also applicable. In general, choose for work!
We make blanks
Do you know how to make the most basic bag? With your own hands it’s easier to sew such a thing from a denim skirt. If it is short, to the knees, just stitch both halves of the hem. You can not even touch the belt, zipper, they will remain as an element of decor. Embroider the “body” of the bag with beads or attach applications. Will come out original and exclusive. However, if you decide to craft a thing that is called from scratch, we will act differently. In order for you to have a good and high-quality beach
bag with your own hands, the pattern will be the first assistant. Stock up with a centimeter and a long ruler, and better - tracing paper
(millimeter paper). Estimate the size of the bag and accordingly draw its details in a 1: 1 format. Do the same for pens and pockets, just mark what is what. Immediately put a few centimeters on the seams. Then cut out the details, but just by the standards with seams. Fold the material and outlines the pattern from the wrong side. Now at paper blanks bend evenly the edges with allowances and circle again - details of the final size. Cut the blanks from the fabric along the first contours. Sweep to find out what happened and if there is any mistake. For pens, make strips 8-10 cm wide (narrow will cut the shoulder), and 140 cm long.
Final result
Consider yourself a bag with your own hands. The master class is almost over. Overcast each part so that the threads do not fray, then sew or sew with your hands. Iron so that the sides and bottom do not bristle. Sew the “tubes” -handles, turn them on the front side and sew to the bag. If you are interested in pockets, they can be cut out from the remnants of matter and stitched from the inside or outside. If you want the outside - take rags of contrasting fabric - then you will have an element of decor. To make the bag close, sew on Velcro or even buttons and make loops - it will turn out original and fresh. Or you can thread a decorative cord into the loop - it will also look nice.
You can decorate your product in different ways, as your fantasy tells you. And cheerfully go with a new thing to the beach!
