Pattern for a men's small shoulder bag. DIY shoulder bag: techniques for making it from various materials

This small shoulder bag one of my favorites! Especially tender feelings I feel strongly about it in supermarkets or markets, when it is especially important to have both hands free to keep up with the kids. And its dimensions are simply perfect for everything you need. Sewing it is a real pleasure, because... its various variations are simply endless. Another advantage will be its low cost; from the required materials, leftovers or pieces of fabric are quite suitable, which craftswomen always have in abundance. This master class supplied step by step photos the entire sewing process, so even the most beginner can easily sew such shoulder bag. Also, here you will find free pattern this handbags. I will share with you a couple of strap options for such a handbag, in case you do not want to use a chain for the strap.

Fabric requirements:

The thicker the fabric, the better. Canvas, twill or something similar works great. If you decide to use chintz or cotton fabric, I advise you to pre-prepare it by sealing it on one side with non-woven material.

What we need:

Sewing supplies: sewing machine, scissors, thread, etc.
Chain (for strap)
D-rings
A small piece of bias tape
Pattern (you can download it).

We print the pattern without adding scale. Cut it out.

As a result, you should have 7 parts (see photo).

Details:

1 fabric flap piece for the front side
1 base piece
1 fabric flap piece for front side
1 front fabric piece for front side
2 parts for the base of the bag made of fabric for the lining
1 flap piece made of fabric for lining

(1 inch = 2.54 cm)

Let's get started.

First we will make the loops for the D-rings of the holders. I used bias tape for this and stitched the edges together.

Making bias tape yourself is not difficult; you can see how it’s done.

If you still decide to use a chain for the strap, then feel free to skip the following steps.

If you decide to make a textile strap for a handbag, then you will need a strip of fabric 2 x 48 inches (in any case, the length of the strap is at your discretion).

Fold the edges towards the center twice, as shown in the photo. Iron.

As a result, you will get a strap 0.5 x 48 inches, sew the edges and put it aside, we will need it later.

Let's start with the valve part. Using a hot iron, iron the edges of the part inward by about 0.5-0.6 cm. Then we sew with a running stitch with inside, as shown in the photo below. Set aside.

Now, take the largest front piece for the front wall of the bag and sew along the top edge with a machine basting stitch. Pull the end of the bobbin thread (thread from the stitching on the wrong side of the fabric) to gather the fabric.

Take the piece for the back of the bag and, placing the front piece on top, gather until both pieces are almost the same size. These two pieces will be the front of the bag.

Then, in the center, pin the part under the flap (it is also made of fabric for the front side of the bag) to the part with the gathers. Make sure again that all parts are the same size.

We take the part that we previously made (the part for the valve) and, placing it in the center of the part with the assemblies, pin it together. We check the dimensions on the part for the back of the bag.

Sew with a regular running stitch along the top edge.

The resulting part with all the assemblies under the valve part will look like this:

Now iron the gathers with a hot iron.

Then we sew the part under the valve to the part with the gathers. If you adjust the stitch length on your sewing machine, increase the stitch length a little. We start sewing from the top on one side and to the tip, then we repeat the procedure only starting from the other side and the same to the tip. Don't forget to sew a locking stitch at the beginning and end.

Now let's add a magnetic button to the front panel. We will place one part of the button in the middle on the part under the valve, closer to the end, but at the same time not too close to the edges. We make marks for attaching the button, make cuts through all layers of fabric.

We push the teeth through the slots made, and applying the washer, lower the teeth to the sides.

Now we take the front and back parts of the base and pin them facing each other. I started carefully chipping the pieces along the top and bottom edges so that the pieces lay flat.

We pin both parts along the entire perimeter, aligning the edges.

Trim off excess fabric.

Then we sew our parts along the entire perimeter, leaving the top open. We make small cuts in the corners, as shown in the photo, so that when turned inside out, everything lies flat and does not bulge. We turn it inside out and iron it thoroughly so that our corners look perfect.

Let's move on to the lining. Having placed both parts facing each other, we sew a stitch leaving the top open, and also leave a small hole of about 3 inches at the bottom. We also make small cuts in the corners, as shown earlier, turn them inside out and iron them.

There's just a little bit left to do. Now we need two parts for the valve of our future bag. We put them facing each other and stitch them, leaving top part untouched. We trim the corners and cut off the corner at the tip of the flap.

Turn it inside out and iron it. You can add decorative stitching along the outer edge if you like.

Now let's add the second part of the magnetic button to the valve. Having placed the valve part in an inverted state on top of the part with the assembly, we make a mark for the second part of the button. Remember the proverb “measure twice, cut once”.

Use a small piece of fabric for greater strength, placing it (you can glue it with a piece of non-woven fabric) on the wrong side of the valve. We make cuts only on the underside of the valve, attach the washer and lower the teeth to the sides.

We take the flap and apply it in the center to the back of the bag with the right sides facing each other, aligning the cuts (see photo below). We pin it with pins.

Let's move on to the main part. We put the front part into the lining part; they should be positioned with their front sides facing each other (see photo). Align the top edges and stitch along the entire top edge.

Turn inside out through the hole left in the lining. Sew it up.

To add a textile strap to your purse, simply insert it through the D-ring and stitch it.

For a chain strap, instead of D-rings, you will need hooks to hook them onto the end links from different sides.

Congratulations! Yours shoulder bag ready!
