So you can sew bags yourself
- If you want to sew bags yourself, choose a fabric that is durable enough to meet your needs. Please make sure that it is also washable. Also, find something that goes with different clothes.
- Choose a lining fabric that contrasts well with the outer fabric. The feed should also not be too fragile and washable.
- If you don't use a lining material, but a normal material, you can even sew reversible bags yourself with these instructions.
With these instructions it is guaranteed to succeed
- Either find a bag pattern online or purchase a bag pattern.
- Transfer the pattern to the fabric with sewing chalk, also paying attention to the seam allowances when following the instructions.
- Now cut out a total of four bag parts and two bottom parts, two bag parts and one bottom for the outside, two bag parts and one bottom for the inside. Please pay attention to the seam allowances again before cutting out.
- Then lay the two pocket parts of the outer fabric right sides together, pin them and sew them together at the top edge of the carrier and iron the seam flat.
- Now do the same with the inner fabric or the lining and iron the seam smooth.
- Then put the outer pocket and inner pocket right sides together, pin them in place with needles and then stitch the outer edges.
- The next step in these instructions is to turn the bag over, pulling it through, then ironing it flat again.
- Now take the bottom of the bag from the outer fabric and put it right sides together all around the outer pocket.
- Stitch both together.
- Then it gets a little more complicated, because you have to join the second bottom to the first so that the entire pocket is inside.
- Then stitch the edge so that you leave an opening of a few centimeters for turning.
- As the last step of the instructions, the bag is turned over and the opening is sewn shut by hand.
