Today, in almost every house you can find 3-4, and more often even more pairs of denim trousers or other denim clothes that are worn out or become small for its inhabitants. Often we are talking about favorite things that are difficult to part with, so an article that tells how to sew a bag of jeans with your own hands (patterns are attached) will be interesting to many.
Option 1
If you have minimal sewing skills, you can easily make an original bag with a handle from a bright multi-colored scarf. For this, any pants that have loops, preferably large sizes, are suitable, as otherwise the product may turn out to be too miniature.
A pattern of a bag of jeans for such a model is presented below. Necessary:
- Cut off the upper part of the trousers 3-4 cm below the place where the zipper begins.
- Slightly round off sections around the side seams, backing 3 cm from the edge.
- Roll a bright scarf or scarf into a tourniquet.
- Cut two identical parts from one of the legs in the form of an elongated oval, the length of which should be 29 and the width - 18 cm.
- Sew one of these parts to the bottom of the bag. First you should pick up the edge of the upper part of the trousers. As a result of these operations, the seams should be outside.
- Sweep the second oval along the cut. Overlay on the first. Sew so that all raw edges of the fabric are enclosed between two oval details and a clear and neat outer stitch is visible, with an indent of 3-5 mm from the bottom edge.
- Thread the tourniquet into the loops and tie in a knot.
Option 2
Such a small but bright accessory for a young fashionista will turn out both from trousers of a large size, and from a skirt sewn from denim. You will not even need a pattern of jeans bag with a flower. It is enough to cut one rectangular piece from both legs. In this case, the side seams do not need to be touched, and the internal ones should be flung. Then you need to:
- connect the two parts together to make a large ring;
- fold in half so that the edges are the outer seams;
- connect the received rectangle on the sides;
- cut two strips of bright fabric;
- fold each along and flash so that handles for the bag are obtained;
- cut another strip of the same fabric with a length equal to twice the width of the bag and a width of 6-7 cm;
- sew along the upper edge of the product, hiding the edge of the handles under it;
- make a flower from a fabric of a suitable color and attach the finished one to a pin.
Option 3: what you need
Bags from old jeans with their own hands (patterns can be both simple and very complex) are especially beautiful if you use denim in several colors.
For example, great products can be made using patchwork techniques. The pattern of a bag of jeans with a valve decorated with such an ornament is quite simple, which cannot be said about working on decor, which will require a lot of patience and time.
You will also need:
- patches from 2 pairs of jeans in contrasting colors;
- threads with needles;
- scissors;
- non-woven;
- lightning;
- lining fabric;
- paper;
- tracing paper;
- ruler.
Option 3: valve manufacturing
First you need another pattern of a bag of jeans, more precisely, its valve. It is a copy of the one shown in the photograph above, but it has a width not of 27 but 25 cm, with the same length of 26 cm.
Followed by:
- measure the inner squares and, taking into account the allowances, cut 2 strips from which to sew a two-color square;
- fix it in the center of the paper base with pins, aligning the lines of the central lines with the same lines in the figure;
- measure one of the triangles that follows the central square, add seam allowances and cut the same figure out of the fabric of the desired color;
- pin, prostrate, unscrew, iron and level;
- do the same with the other triangles;
- having finished the first row, they do the same with the rest of the rows;
- every detail is smoothed out;
- remove the paper;
- fix the patchwork part on the adhesive non-woven backing;
- make a decorative line;
- adjust the valves according to the pattern;
- sew a monophonic edging;
- cut out a denim lining;
- impose her detail with decor;
- prostrate.
Option 3: preparing other components
Next, you need a pattern of a bag of jeans (the photo is placed above), according to which you need to cut 4 pieces of denim and lining fabric. On one of them (it will be a back) you can make a pocket. Then:
- prepare a handle for a bag with a length of 1 m 20 cm and a strap (11 cm) on which the buckle will be fixed (the width of both parts in the finished form is 2 cm);
- denim inserts are made by cutting 6 x 6 cm squares and folding them in half;
- sew in the handle and strap;
- turn to a special workshop, where the necessary metal fittings are fixed on the parts (rivets, buckles, eyelets and other metal parts).
Assembly
The final stage of sewing jeans bags (patterns and photos are presented above) begins with overlapping denim parts with no pockets on top of each other.
Thereafter:
- transfer the line of the inner seam from the pattern to the fabric;
- shorten
- we take a detail of the back of the bag and measure 3 cm from the top;
- draw a line;
- we apply a ready-made valve to it;
- departing from the edge of the valve 0.3 cm, attach;
- pin the crossbars for handles at a distance of 3 cm from the upper edge of the back of the bag;
- apply the same “back” to the lower panel of the central part;
- we sew them together (for convenience we tuck its edge and pin it with pins);
- we turn it out by making notches in the corners;
- pin the edge of the back of the finished half;
- we put on it the front of the bag;
- we do
- we cut corners;
- turn out.
For the manufacture of the lining 2, the cut-out parts are folded face to face and stitched around the perimeter. We do the same with 2 other details.
It turns out 2 bags. The entrance to each of them is tucked 1 cm and pushed. Further:
- take a zipper, apply to the entrance to the bag;
- add 5-6 cm;
- cut off;
- in the upper part of the bag from 2 sides of the side seams measure 1.5 cm to the center;
- make a mark;
- pin a zipper;
- prostrate;
- tuck 0.7-0.8 cm into the edges of both sections of the denim bag ;
- are being pushed;
- take lining bags;
- put in each department of the bag;
- sweep;
- make a line on the front side of each department.
