You do not know how the pattern of a cosmetic bag is carried out? With your own hands you can make any option: from the most basic to the most complex. Read the tips. Choose the right idea.
Materials
In order for you to get the correct and accurate pattern of your cosmetic bag with your own hands, you need to prepare the following:
- a ruler;
- pencil;
- eraser;
- thin paper (it is more convenient to attach pins to the fabric), for example, millimeter paper (it already has a marking on it, so it will be easier to draw lines);
- scissors.
To stitch the finished product, you need such things:
- fabric or leather (a substitute is also suitable);
- pins
- chalk or remnant;
- scissors;
- needle;
- threads
- sewing machine;
- zipper, velcro or button;
- braid, strap, chain - for making a loop, for which it is convenient to take and carry the product;
- decorative elements (flowers, bows, beads, beads).
As you can see, you need a standard set of elements for sewing. Even the eyelet and decor for a cosmetic bag can be easily made independently from the same material as the base.
Which option to choose
First, determine what the pattern of the cosmetic bag will be. With your own hands you can make both simplest blanks from one part, and complex products that require a large number of seams in the future. A cosmetic bag can be made as follows:
- flat (rectangular);
- volumetric (in the form of a cylinder);
- any geometric shape (oval, square, etc.)
- complex configuration (heart, lips, fish, mouse).
Depending on the type, the pattern of the product will also change. The more complex and voluminous the form, the more parts and, therefore, paper blanks will be required.
How to sew a make-up bag with your own hands: patterns
You have two options:
- Find and print the finished template on a suitable scale.
- Build a drawing yourself.
The choice depends on your experience and the complexity of the product. If the cosmetic bag consists of one part with fold lines, it will not be difficult to make a pattern even for a beginner needlewoman. And if you decide to create something complex with lots of details, itโs easier to print a finished drawing. The main thing is to find a suitable sample and have a printer on hand.
Very simple template
According to the workpiece below, a standard rectangular do-it-yourself cosmetic bag is obtained. Patterns of such products can easily be made from a regular album sheet without any constructions and preliminary marking with calculations.
Everything is done very clearly.
- Take a rectangular sheet of paper of elongated proportions.
- Visually divide it into approximately three equal parts.
- Make two fold lines at an equal distance from one edge.
- Cut the remaining part (this will be a bend to the front of the product) obliquely. Please note that the part should be slightly less than previously taken distances. If necessary, trim the outer edge.
The simplest template is complete.
Harvesting more complicated
You can also do another pattern of cosmetic bags with your own hands. From leather or from a substitute, a variant of such a product will look very good.
If for some reason you do not want to print a template, build it on graph paper yourself in any proportions.
To make everything work out neatly and evenly, do a preliminary markup. Mark the center vertical guide. It will allow not only to build symmetrically all the details, but also determine the place of fastening of the button fastener. Also draw three horizontal lines at the same distance from each other. Do the rest on a ruler using a graph paper grid. You can take any shape and size: exactly repeat the sample or slightly change.

1. Cut a rectangle from the fabric, make several folds on it exactly one after another, stitch them.
2. Iron the resulting workpiece.
3. Cut out a template of any suitable shape from the paper and, attaching it to the stitched blank, circle with a pencil or chalk.
4. Sew the perimeter, stepping a little inward from the drawn line. Cut directly along the contour drawn.
5. Stitch the zipper, eyelet and another part of the same size, having previously folded them with their sides inward.
6. Turn the product to the front side and sew a neat seam on the front side, stepping away from the edge so that the seam connecting the base parts is inside. You will get a neat edge both outside and inside out.
