Here we found patterns for folding shopping bags. Now they are called eco-bags because they are used instead of plastic shopping bags. Eco-bags can always be washed. Because they are fabric. These are the eco-benefits. And for our convenience and order in our purse, they (eco-bags) are laid out beautifully so as not to take up space. By the way, they will fit in your pocket and will not take up much space in a woman’s purse, which is convenient for both men and women. In another way, such bags are called shoppers, which is logical - they are roomy and durable, making it convenient to go shopping with them.

Folding bag patterns

Well, of course, we have seen something like this. And they bought it. But what's the point of paying for shopping bags if the house is full of fabrics or unnecessary things that can be turned into a bag.

Just look how cute it is - you definitely can’t buy one, but you can sew it easily!

And this handbag actually hides in a cone (lower right corner), which is almost like an owlet. And this is already a delight!

Still the same design as in the first photo, but the look is different. The bag easily folds into a small wallet.

It’s also not always possible to fold the bag neatly the first time... Yes, everything is simple, as in the picture below

Pattern diagram: that’s what I’m mastering now. No, it's actually simple. Problems begin when you think about what fabrics (color, texture) to combine to make it look beautiful. I know, now you will say we need to be simpler. Yes, but I can’t do it yet...

Here is a pocket - a real one, in a frame, and the whole bag fits into it. But there is one detail: handles. You see, they are cut into a cone to make it easier to carry heavy things.

And this is how a regular bag folds: it’s also not entirely easy, I only succeeded the second time. When folded this way, the fabric of the bag does not wrinkle at all.

I also thought that eco-bags were a good idea for a small business. Mastered the technique, sell and sell. In any case, it’s honestly earned money, albeit small.

Another cute foldable bag pattern.

And all my troubles with eco-bags began with this picture, which caught my eye at the very moment when a bag made by great Chinese (sorry) seamstresses, bought a couple of months ago for 2-something dollars, began to lose seams and some details. And I sewed my bag. True, instead of an elastic band that fastens with a button, I sewed a beautiful braid. And she was wrong: it took a lot of effort to fasten it. So an elastic band is the best solution. This is true.

Lovers of patchwork techniques can sew such a pocket packaging for a bag. It looks like a detachable zipper... Difficult, but interesting!

Illustration: how to fold a bag, including for photo 2 (it’s at the beginning of the post, where the owlet is). It’s simpler here - a bag like a berry, but the technique is the same.

Folding bag patterns

There are a lot of options. There is also a detachable zipper. Personally, I don’t agree with lightning. If you have no problems with them, do so. True, there are also various beautiful things like pictures and so on, but we can skip them. And the idea and execution are interesting.

For knitting lovers - a knitted eco-bag. But, as you understand, you will have to put it in a separate pocket and it will be thick, but the handbag is beautiful, and the remaining yarn can be used.

Today you can find any thing on the market; the variety of goods is so great that it’s simply dizzying. But the problem is that as soon as some new fashion trend begins, the market is filled with the same type and monotonous product, and in the end, what is fashionable is worn by 85% of 100.

You want to stand out from this gray fashion mass, and for this you will need some skills, desire and imagination. So today let's talk about how sew a fabric bag independently and be exclusive and unique.

DIY fabric bag

It is worth noting that a woman’s life cannot proceed fully if she does not have bags. This is an essential accessory for every female, and even little girls cannot imagine their walk without their favorite handbag.

This could be a huge shoulder bag, a small ladies' clutch, or a medium-sized bag with long handles. There can be many options, it all depends on your preferences.

In order to sew a bag without outside help, you do not have to be a professional seamstress. To do this, you will need the ability to use a sewing machine or tighten a thread into a needle, everything else will depend only on your efforts and desire to create something new, beautiful and extraordinary.

It should be noted that even the lack of imagination will not be a hindrance in this matter, because on the Internet you can find a lot of different interesting options that can be brought to life. It turns out that, in principle, we have everything at hand; now we will need to find out what material is best to sew a bag from and how to do it.

Fabric for bags and backpacks

Today there is a huge variety of products on the fabric market. It is very difficult for the ignorant and beginners to understand such diversity. To make the process of choosing material for sewing a bag easier, let's figure out which fabric is suitable for which bags:

• Polyester. This material makes excellent and very durable bags.
• Bags made of nylon are quite lightweight, but at the same time they are highly durable. Among other things, they are quite elastic, and the material is often used specifically for factory tailoring of bags.

• Faux leather is a very common material in the bag sewing industry. Here I would immediately like to note that the quality characteristics of such material are not at the highest level. Usually, so-called consumer goods are made from it. Such bags are inexpensive, but they are also not practical to use, or rather, even to say, they are short-lived.
• Artificial suede is similar to its natural counterpart. The material is quite practical and wear-resistant, so bags made from this fabric are excellent both in terms of quality characteristics and appearance.
• Jacquard. The fabric is not cheap, the surface of the fabric is not smooth. Used for sewing children's backpacks and bags.
• Cotton. This fabric contains 90% cellulose. Often used for sewing a variety of bags.

If you have some fabric at home, then you don’t have to buy another one from the store. Almost any material that is not too thin can be suitable for a bag.

Fabric shoulder bags

One of the most practical bags is the shoulder bag, as they say, put it on and forget it. It's beautiful, comfortable and practical, it's perfect combination characteristics for the bag. In order to sew such a bag you will need a lot of time, but believe me, the result will be worth it.

First, let's look at the material and tools that will be useful to us in the process of sewing the type of bag in question:

• any material that is suitable for lining
• fabric for a bag (pieces measuring 34 x 35; 34 x 27 and a couple of pieces 27 x13 cm)
• lace (length no less than 40 cm)
• doublerin
• pair of carabiners and half rings
• button ( the best option– magnetic)

• bag strap
• tools (scissors, ruler, pencil, thread, bobby pins)

If everything listed above is at your fingertips, then go to battle. Step-by-step instruction sewing a “messenger bag”:

1. If you want the bag you sew to keep its shape, then sewing begins by gluing the front fabric with dublerin. The sizing process must be carried out through gauze.
2. We fold the prepared couple of large pieces of fabric right sides together and sew them together. Don't forget to always leave a seam allowance, one and a half centimeters will be enough.
3. The seam will need to be ironed, and the lace will need to be attached to the front of the fabric, and then stitched.

1. Place the pieces of fabric right sides together and stitch side seams.
2. Now we need to start shaping the bottom. We fold the existing corners, do not forget to secure everything with bobby pins. We measure 5-7 cm from the sharp edge, draw a line with a pencil and stitch it. Excess fabric can be cut off up to the seam, leaving only one centimeter in reserve.
3. We turn the fabric inside out, in this case it will be necessary to iron the side seams so that it is clear how to further work with the resulting workpiece.

1. Let's move on to sewing the flap for the bag, which is a must on such a model. To do this, take 2 small prepared pieces of fabric and fold them, again with the right sides facing each other. Draw the shape of a pocket, rounding the corners.
2. We sew according to the drawing, leaving the largest edge unstitched.
3. Carefully trim off the excess fabric. Find the middle on the valve and mark it with a bold dot. This is where we will attach the magnetic button.
4. From the fat point in the middle of the valve, measure half a centimeter in both directions and cut the material. We insert the button (the magnet itself will be attached in a different place). Turn the fabric inside out.

1. Let's start connecting the bag and the valve we made. We pin the valve to the bag with bobby pins and attach it. Do not forget to iron the fabric after each process.
2. We bend the flap onto the front side of the bag and mark on its base the place where we will attach the magnet.
3. To the side seams at the top, you will need to sew leather flats with half rings sewn into them. This is a mount for our future belt.
4. Don't forget about the lining and the need to cut it out. For this we need two pieces of fabric measuring 30 x 34 cm.
5. They need to be stitched around the perimeter so that the seam is open. Don't forget to cut corners. After we turn the material inside out, we sew the seam that we previously left unsewn.
6. We connect the lining to the bag with pins and stitch. The bag is ready, all that remains is to turn it inside out.

The “messenger bag” is ready for use. Although there is a lot of hassle, you will be pleased with the result.

DIY bag patterns made from fabric

For those who are not new to sewing, it will be enough to have a pattern on hand in order to sew an original bag. We present to your attention detailed patterns of some bag models:

• Bags from denim never go out of fashion, and today this rule also applies. Therefore, if you have old jeans lying around somewhere that you would hate to throw away, but you will never wear them again, then this is an excellent fabric option for a denim bag.

• Men's fabric bag can also be original. If you put your hand into making it. Sewing a small bag for your man is not so difficult if you have a detailed pattern with all the necessary dimensions.

• Fabric shopping bags sewing is even easier. In this case, having a pattern is half the success. The fabric for such bags can be any, at the discretion of the creator.

If you are new to sewing, then we suggest watching a video that will explain and show you in detail. how to sew a fabric bag with your own hands. Don’t be afraid to experiment, and then you will be able to achieve a lot, especially when you have a clear example before your eyes.

Video: Fabric bag - master class

For summer, a bright fabric bag is a real find. For a walk, to the beach, to the store, to meet friends - you will have many reasons to wear your new accessory. In addition, the “highlight” of this DIY fabric bag is that it easily folds into a compact cosmetic bag and just as easily transforms into a large, roomy bag!

The cosmetic bag, when opened, is the bottom of the bag itself.
It can be round, oval or rectangular with rounded edges.

Assembled bags

Assembling a cosmetic bag

So, first let's start making the cosmetic bag itself. You will need materials such as:

• Zipper (at least 10 cm, longer if possible). You can cut the zipper off old trousers, jeans, or skirts.
• A large zipper, 40 cm long (again, can be cut from something used, for example a bag).
• Cosmetic bag pattern. One of its parts will be from outer fabric, the other is made of lining material, and the third is made of dublerin.

On double fabric, no seam allowances are needed, only a hole for the zipper is needed

The process of assembling a cosmetic bag takes place in several steps.

1. First, you need to cut out blanks for a cosmetic bag from fabric and dublerin. Then, using an iron, you need to glue the dublerin to the wrong side of the outer part, while centering it so that you get the same fabric edging on each side.



2. The outer fabric with glued dublerin and the lining must be folded together with right sides together. Next, you need to machine stitch along the long edges of the zipper opening. Fasten all seams at the beginning and end of the line. Make sure that these two lines are of equal length.



3. Next, carefully cut the fabric through two layers along the intended line.



4. The lining must be pulled to the front side through the hole. The edges of the hole need to be smoothed thoroughly to make it even.



5. The zipper needs to be placed under the hole (under two layers of fabric), stitched along the edges of the hole. This way we will sew the zipper. It is better to use a special zipper foot.



6. Now determine where the makeup bag will fold in half, and then along this line, sew a seam through two layers of fabric.



This line in the photo is at the top, above the sewn zipper

7. Turn the wallet inside out. Our lining layer is divided into two halves. The half without a zipper needs to be folded over the half with a zipper, this is how you can form the lining of the pocket. To secure the fabric, you need to stitch close to the edge. The pocket is already ready!



8. Now it's time to attach the long zipper. Again, install the zipper foot on the sewing machine. Turn the cosmetic bag over with the front side up and the zipper so that the reverse side is visible. Sew on the zipper, starting from the middle of the cosmetic bag.



In the photo the middle is marked with a tailor's pin with a red head

9. Make sure that the zipper is sewn slightly under tension. This will ensure ease of opening and closing. The pink line is the seam line, it should not go very close to the zipper teeth.



The photo shows that at the very beginning the tail of the zipper is slightly curved - sew the same way.

10. We carefully sew the zipper along the edge of the wallet, and make small cuts on the zipper tape so that it fits well on the rounded edges.





11. Having reached the other end of the midline, you need to bend the zipper so that its teeth reach almost to the very top of the midline, and the remaining part of the unattached zipper is perpendicular to the cosmetic bag.





12. Now you need to sew a zipper around the second edge of the cosmetic bag. The zipper must be bent symmetrically along the second side, starting from the midline.



13. We sew until we get to the place where the zipper begins. Next, you need to similarly bend the head of the zipper so that it is symmetrical with respect to the center line of the cosmetic bag and secure its end well. Make sure the zipper is sewn symmetrically around the middle!

The cosmetic bag is ready! We put it aside and proceed directly to sewing the fabric bag itself with our own hands.

Assembling the bag

Before you start sewing the bag itself, you need to prepare everything you need:

• Fabric - 30*67.5 cm
• Two pieces of fabric for handles, each 7*33 cm.

All seam allowances are already included in the measurements. First we will make the straps of our bag.

To do this, both long edges of the fabric need to be folded 6 mm to the wrong side and ironed.

Machine stitching should be done along the long edges and the straps are ready.

Now they need to be placed above the top edge of the bag.

Above this very top edge, the ends of the straps should extend 2.5 cm. Sew the straps in place.

We continue to sew a bag with our own hands, the master class is already at the very equator, the hardest part is behind us.

We pull the straps up, bend the top edge of the bag 1 cm to the wrong side. We smooth this place with an iron.

Now we have to sew the cosmetic bag (which will serve as the base) to the bag itself. We make 4 marks along the base of the bag, and the same along the circumference of the cosmetic bag. Place the wallet and bag right sides together. We align all the corresponding marks, making sure that the straps are located opposite the long edge of the wallet. Pin in place if necessary. To secure, sew along the edge.

Very important points that will help you do this job carefully:

• You need to use a special zipper foot - you won't see the zipper between the layers of fabric, but the foot will help you feel the zipper teeth.
• The product must be placed under the zipper foot so that the material of the bag is on top and the fabric of the wallet is below. Not the other way around.
• You will need to make small cuts along the seam allowance (along the base of the bag). This is necessary so that our fabric bends more easily.

Now we sew along the edge of the base of the bag, excluding only one point (where the tail of the zipper “meets” that same center line). Secure the seam, leaving an opening of approximately 1-1.5 cm.

The hole is necessary so that the zipper can pass through it later.

After this you will see that the base of the bag is almost ready.

And the bag itself will look like this:

The bag must be turned right side out and the slider very carefully pushed through the hole left.

Now turn the bag inside out again, cut off the seam allowances and the excess zipper tape (to reduce it). This cannot be done before, otherwise the slider will simply fall out.

Well, we can say that the bag itself is ready. You can, however, sew a finishing seam along the edges of the cosmetic bag. This will make it look neater. And don't forget to secure the edges of the hole that was left to push the slider through. To do this, you need to bend the seam allowances and the zipper tape under the cosmetic bag and sew a finishing seam through all layers except the fabric of the bag itself (move it to the side).

Having reached the hole, sew it very carefully, as close as possible to the edge around the runner.

And now the bag is definitely ready, for now we put it aside.

Of course, you already understand how to sew such a bag with your own hands, but this is not the end of the work)

Sew the lining

To make the lining we will need:

• Lining fabric for the bag - 30*67.5 cm (including seam allowances). We recommend choosing nylon as a fabric; it is waterproof and does not unravel.
• A piece of lining fabric cut along the contour of a cosmetic bag. We take seam allowances into account.

Sew up the side and attach the base of the bag. This is done by analogy with the previous work (sewing the bag itself). But it will be easier to do all this now, because you don’t need to insert a zipper, nor do you need to leave a hole. Just stitch around the very base to secure it. Make sure that the oval of the base of the lining clearly coincides with the shape of the base of the bag itself. After all, this is not a circle that can be sewn on any way you want, you have to try.

Make sure that the side seam is done correctly and that the lining completely matches the shape of the bag.

Final assembly of the bag

Let's move on to the final part of our work. Turn the bag right side out. The lining remains turned inside out. Next, proceed according to the scheme:

Place the insides inside the bag, remembering to line up their oval bases.

Align the folded upper edges of the two layers and sew close to the edge with a finishing seam. This will hold the two layers together.

Now we make another seam around the entire perimeter, 2.5 cm lower than the previous one. The second seam will secure the ends of the straps of our bag.

Hooray! Finally, our transforming bag is ready!

Now fold it and zip it up.

We have a cosmetic bag, a wallet or a small clutch that you can take with you anywhere.

What is the beauty of such a product? First of all, its compactness, elegant appearance and matching your clothes. A cute, aesthetic product that is in no way inferior to its store-bought counterparts. By putting it in your regular bag or in the glove compartment of a car, for example, you will take it out at the right time, and then hide it again. This transforming bag is practical and very fashionable. The product may have a completely different shape, let alone color solutions just can't count.

Color compatibility

Let's say we've already figured out how to make a bag with our own hands, but how to choose the right color and texture of the fabric?

Today, the choice of fabrics allows our imagination to run wild as much as we like. Someone loves pastel colors that never go out of fashion - this will be an interesting, classic solution.

Of particular note are the bright bags with floral print. They attract attention to their owner, and now you stand out from women with ordinary bags or standard shopping bags! This bag also looks great in the middle of summer on the beach.

The following unions are in fashion today:

• Pink + gray
• Lilac + pink
• Pink + purple
• Blue + yellow
• Light green + orange
• Red + orange
• White + emerald

You can get creative and choose a fabric with a child's pattern or a print that imitates the design of Louis Vuitton bags.

If you decide to change the design of your bag a little, remember:

• the circumference of the bag should always correspond to the perimeter of the cosmetic bag
• the main zipper should be at least 7 or 8 cm longer than the perimeter
• It's better to use a long zipper: you'll cut off the excess at the end, and working with a long zipper is much easier.

Try, experiment, despite the long description, this work will not take very much time. In the process, you yourself will figure out how and what to do next. Having sewn one such bag, you will probably decide to make your friends happy with such a useful and stylish product. By the way, wonderful gift with your own hands!

1. Cut out paired parts for the two halves of the bag:

According to pattern A - 2 pcs., B - 2 pcs., C - 2 pcs., D - 4 pcs.

No seam allowances have been added. But if you make allowances, keep in mind that
that the bag will be a little bigger size. Length of handles - part D -
cut as you wish: for example, 23... cm, if you wear it in
hands, and 33...cm if you want to hang it on your shoulder (try on before cutting
on yourself the desired length of the handles).

2. First sew together parts A and B.

We smooth or smooth out the allowances (this depends on the thickness of the selected
fabrics). Then we sew on part C and part D. We iron the seams. So
Thus, we get two patchwork halves of the bag in a mirror
display

3. Place each half of the bag on
reinforcing material (I have a dense non-adhesive padding polyester) and, as
stencil, cut along the contours, leaving small reserves. If
the surface of the material is adhesive, iron it and glue it to the patchwork
inside out.

If the material is non-adhesive, wash it off, chop it off or spray it
special adhesive spray. Decoratively stitch along the contours of the seams
between parts or we quilt a patchwork surface - this is
decorates and seals the details of the bag.

4. Now cut off the excess padding polyester and
We cut out the lining along the contours of the resulting patchwork parts. Can I have it?
cut about 1 cm smaller (except for the handles). But I do
like this: I cut out the same size as the patchwork part, and then, when
I sew down the lining halves, then increase the seam allowances to a little
more than 1 cm and if the fabric is loose, I don’t cut off the excess - it’s more reliable.

At this stage of assembling the bag, you can sew on pockets, if provided for in your model.

5. We outline darts on the patchwork and lining parts. Let's spend them.

6. Place the bag pieces facing each other, pin them together and sew them together only along the bottom arc of the bag.

At the same time, we place the darts so that there is no double thickening: on
one half of the bag, for example, to the right, on the other - to the left.

7. Sew the darts on the lining halves.

We put them facing each other and grind them together only along
lower arc. We straighten the darts in the same way, but between
darts along bottom cut leave the unsewn part for turning inside out.
Let me remind you that if we cut the lining the same size as
patchwork part, now we leave the allowances approximately twice
more than on the patchwork parts of the bag.

8. Place the lining inside the bag, matching the right sides inside.

We join together all the parts of the upper part of the bag and sew together everything that remains unconnected: the “neck”, “shoulders”, handles.

At the allowances of the handles, you can cut off the thickening of the padding polyester if it is too narrow
you are tight. You can also cut off the corners from the allowances. Do not forget
cut the allowances on curved sections before turning them inside out.
Turn the entire bag inside out through the hole at the bottom of the lining. Let's iron.
We overlap the hole allowances and sew them up with a blind seam.

9. Now we manually connect the halves of the handles and then use a machine to sew off the upper part of the bag and the handles.

This will give shape and strengthen the connection of the handles. And will undoubtedly decorate your new patchwork assistant!

10. Finally, you can sew on a loop
with a button as a fastener, and come up with other additional
decorative highlights.

I added “woo-woo” flowers and self-adhesive soft green ones.
rhinestones. This bag is not only comfortable, but also truly versatile.
for all styles! Whatever combinations of fabrics you choose - the result
will be harmonious. And from simple, cheerful cotton fabrics, and in
refined victorian style, and in strict black and white/black and red,
and from silk-satin with braid and embroidery, and from the remains of denim...Model
will change beyond recognition, but always maintain grace and
compliance with style.
