Some bright ideas

Video instruction

Today, in almost every home you can find 3-4, and more often even more pairs of denim trousers or other denim clothes that have 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 (attached) will be of interest 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 trousers that have belt loops are suitable, preferably large, otherwise the product may turn out to be too miniature.

A jeans bag pattern for such a model is presented below. Need to:

Cut off the top of the trousers 3-4 cm below where the zipper begins.
Slightly round the cuts in the area of the side seams, stepping back from the edge by 3 cm.
Roll a bright scarf or scarf into a bundle.
Cut out two identical parts from one of the legs in the form of an elongated oval, the length of which should be 29 cm and the width 18 cm.
Sew one of these pieces to the bottom of the bag. Gather the edge of the top of the trousers first. As a result of these operations, the seams should be outside.
Sweep a second oval along the cut. Put on the first. Sew so that all the raw edges of the fabric are enclosed between two oval parts and a clear and neat outer stitch is visible, with an indent of 3-5 mm from the edge of the bottom.
Pass the tourniquet through the loops and tie in a knot.

Option 2

Such a small but bright accessory for a young fashionista will turn out both from large trousers and from a denim skirt. You don't even need a pattern for a bag of jeans with a flower. It is enough to cut off one rectangular piece from both legs. In this case, the side seams do not need to be touched, and the internal ones should be torn open. Then you need:

connect the two parts together to make a large ring;
fold in half so that the edges are the outer seams;
connect the resulting rectangle on the sides;
cut two stripes from bright fabric;
fold each lengthwise and stitch it so that you get handles for the bag;
cut another strip from the same fabric with a length equal to twice the width of the bag and a width of 6-7 cm;
sew on 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 on a pin.

Option 3: what you need

DIY bags (patterns can be both simple and very complex) are especially beautiful if you use denim in several colors.

For example, magnificent products can be made using patchwork technique. The pattern of a jeans bag with a flap decorated with such an ornament is quite simple, which cannot be said about decorating, 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;
interlining;
lightning;
lining fabric;
paper;
tracing paper;
ruler.

Option 3: valve manufacturing

First you will need another pattern for a jeans bag, or rather, its valve. It is a copy of the one shown in the photo above, however, it has a width of not 27, but 25 cm, with the same length of 26 cm.

measure the inner squares and, taking into account the allowances, cut out 2 strips, from which to sew a two-color square;
fasten 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 allowances for the seams and cut out the same figure from the fabric of the desired color;
pinned, stitched, turned away, ironed and leveled;
do the same with the rest of the triangles;
after finishing the first row, do the same with the rest of the rows;
every detail is ironed;
remove paper;
fix the patchwork detail on the adhesive non-woven base;
make a decorative stitch;
valves are adjusted according to the pattern;
sew a plain edging;
cut out the denim lining;
impose a detail with a decor on it;
are sewing.

Option 3: preparing other components

prepare a handle for a bag 1 m 20 cm long and a strap (11 cm) on which the buckle will be fixed (the width of both parts in finished form is 2 cm);
denim inserts are made by cutting out 6 x 6 cm squares and folding them in half;
sew a handle and a strap;
they turn to a special workshop, where the necessary metal fittings (rivets, buckles, eyelets and other metal parts) are fixed on the parts.

Assembly

The final stage of sewing a denim bag (patterns and photos are presented above) begins with overlapping the front sides of denim parts that do not have pockets.

After that:

we transfer the line of the inner seam from the pattern to the fabric;
we build;
take the 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;
stepping back from the edge of the valve 0.3 cm, attach;
we pin the crossbars for the handles at a distance of 3 cm from the upper edge of the back of the bag;
we 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);
turn inside out, making notches in the corners;
we pin the edge of the back finished half;
put the front of the bag on it;
we sew;
cut corners;
turn inside out.

To make the lining, 2 cut pieces are folded face to face and sewn around the perimeter. We do the same with 2 other parts.

Makes 2 bags. The entrance to each of them is tucked 1 cm and basted. Further:

take a zipper, apply it to the entrance to the bag;
add 5-6 cm;
cut off;
in the upper part of the bag from 2 sides from the side seams, measure 1.5 cm to the center;
make a mark;
pin a zipper;
sew;
tuck 0.7-0.8 cm inside the edges of both sections;
basting;
take lining bags;

Every lady in the house probably has a pair or two of jeans that lie idle in the closet. And if the fabric on the jeans is also of different shades - it's just wonderful.

A bag made of old jeans will turn out to be original and interesting. As you know, the fabric on jeans can be different: it can be expensive denim, and cheap gin, and so on. A handmade jeans bag, such as a patchwork bag, will look better if you choose jeans of the same thickness but different shades for it.

Sewing a bag from old jeans is very simple: the main thing is to carefully prepare the material. Bags from old jeans do not have to be sewn on a sewing machine. Our master classes, on the contrary, are designed for hand-tailoring. Such original and necessary handbags are sewn together quickly.

Why do people like jeans bags? First, they are lightweight and durable. Secondly, such a thing is indispensable if you go to the store, for a walk, to the beach, and so on. After all, you can sew such a bag in absolutely any size.

Simple and practical handbag - master class

You can sew such a clutch bag or a backpack bag in a few hours. Before sewing a bag from jeans with your own hands, you need to put the jeans in order: wash, if necessary, and hang up without twisting - to dry. One pair of jeans can make several bags! For this model, you will also need a narrow strap, an awl (or a thick needle), and a cord for straps if it is a backpack.

For work you will need:

Pants from old jeans.
Strap with buckle.
An awl, or a thick needle.
Threads, scissors.
130-140 cm of cord to match the color of the belt, if you decide to make a backpack bag.

How to sew a bag quickly and neatly? Take your time and don't cut off too much! If you settled on a clutch model, then estimate how high it will be when folded, and thereby adjust the size of the leg in height.

Cut off the trouser leg with scissors (photo 2). It is better to cut off 55-60 cm, no less.
We take the belt, apply it directly to the "top" of the folded bag, and near the "bottom" we cut off a part of the belt with a buckle (at least 10 cm), (photo 3.9).
We sew the strap to the front of the bag, right next to the “bottom”. We turn the trouser leg inside out (photo 4).
We manually sew the “bottom” along the cut edge (photo 5).
The corners need to be sewn up as in photo 6. The longer your line in photo 6, the narrower the bottom of the bag. If this line is not done, the bag will turn out flat.
The strap on the bag must be able to fasten, no matter how high the clutch is. A handbag made of jeans unfolds to the maximum height, if the strap is too long, you can cut it off. We make holes in the belt (photo 7), and then sew the belt (photo 8). Here is the finished bag of jeans with your own hands. If you decide to stop at the backpack option, sew 2 pieces of cord on the back of the bag instead of straps. It would be ideal to take a long strap from an old bag.
A jeans bag can be decorated with appliqué, labels, lace, beads, embroidery, and so on. Everything that your imagination dictates to you.

This is how the bottom strap is sewn on.

Such an original patchwork style bag will look good if you take scraps from several jeans of different colors. You can add a couple of patches of checkered fabric. The pattern of the bag and the master class are the easiest, the most difficult thing in this bag is to make the top out of fabric from old jeans. For the bag, you will need 2 rectangles 42/40 cm from any dense fabric, we will sew pieces of jeans onto this material. Denim is a dense fabric, so you can do without a sealant: synthetic winterizer, or non-woven fabric. Handles can be sewn from a belt from jeans, or leather from an old bag.

For work you will need:

2 rectangles 42/40 cm from any dense fabric.
2 rectangles 42/40 cm from lining fabric.
Full width zipper.
2 strips of 36/16 cm denim for the bottom.
Old jeans.
Colored threads
Ruler, pencil.
Adhesive fabric.
Tailor's pins.

We take the lining, and sew the inner pocket.

Put the lining aside, we will make the front of the bag.

We draw a drawing on paper for clarity. We designate all the patches in order to know what color they should be. There should also be a pattern on the main fabric - we will sew patches on it. We carefully pin the flaps with tailor's pins.

Gradually we pin all the flaps to the base with pins.

We draw straight lines with a ruler and a pencil, stepping back from the edge of 0.7-1 cm.

Sew the flaps with small stitches to the base. The photo shows the direction in which we attach the flaps to the base.

Here is the almost finished face of the bag, all patches are sewn on by hand. Round details are also hand-sewn with small stitches.

Thus, we need to make 2 identical parts of our bag.

We apply the lining parts to the main parts, front to front. First, we sew the top so that there is no raw edge. We designed the top, then we will sew the bag itself. Next, lay out our sewing, stepping back from the edge of 0.8-1 cm with a ruler and chalk. We draw straight lines along which we will sew the bag. We attach the front and parts of the bag to each other, and cleave with pins. We sew so that an unsewn piece of 5-7 cm remains, through which we will turn the product inside out.

Turned out — got the inside like this. Next - sew up the hole in the lining, wrap the bottom corners, and sew.

Next, take our 2 strips of 36/16 cm denim for the bottom of the bag. It would be ideal to put plastic inside the bottom, for example: cut a 35/15 cm strip from a plastic folder or oilcloth. We decorate the bottom so that there are no open cuts anywhere. Sew by hand inside the bag. You can also sew to the outside - as you like, only then the edges must be rounded.

That's all. It remains to sew on the handles, which can be made from a belt from pants, weaved from a cord, or taken from an old bag.

Shopping bag - master class

A do-it-yourself bag made from old jeans is a good opportunity to use good denim. The master class here is very simple and understandable. Sew an original bag in one evening!

Before sewing a bag from jeans, you can figure out which pattern and what shape of the bag to choose. Sewing bags is a rewarding job, as there are no extra bags. We suggest you use any of these patterns. Click on the arrow to enlarge the pattern.
