  • Metal blocks or eyelets, tongs, threads.

Glue the fleece on bottom corners rectangles. We process the sections with an overlock or a zigzag seam.

We fold the parts with the front sides, fasten with a needle and mark an indent along the upper edge of 5 cm. We sew the parts along the long sides and one short one to the indent line.

Iron the side seams.

We make a drawstring by tucking upper edge 2.5 cm, and iron.

We sew it at a distance of two cm from the edge.

We mark the places for the eyelets and make holes.

From the wrong side we put the washer, from the front - the grommet with the bulge up, we clamp it.

We thread the cord into the hole and pin a pin to it. We thread the cord into the drawstring from left to right.

Now we pass it through the second hole, and send it to the drawstring on the second side. We hide the ends of the cord.

Trying to make a roomy backpack out of leather and denim

Denim and leather backpacks will always be in fashion. Therefore, we offer patterns of a women's backpack from these materials.

The photo shows a leather model.

Necessary materials:
  • Soft skin.
  • Lining fabric.
  • Buckle, zipper, 10 metal scallops.
  • Belt tape.

We cut out leather details shown in fig. 2. From fabric - the main part of the product and the bottom.

We glue and sew a zipper to two leather strips, as in fig. 3. It is designed for the pocket. We attach one strip to it, and the second to the backpack, after inserting the buckle, as shown in fig. 4. We connect the sides of the main part.

We sew the cover by inserting the strap. Leave a hole to turn out. After that, on the front side, we make another line at a distance of 1 cm from the edge, and sew the cover to the back of the main fabric (Fig. 5).

We glue the handles, and sew a 5x10 cm leather rectangle over the place where they are attached. Then we sew a leather strip along the bottom of the backpack, as in Figure 6. We sew the bottom to it.

Sew the lining pieces together, leaving a small opening. We fold the part of the backpack and the lining with the front sides and sew along the top edge. After we turn it out, we sew up the hole.

We straighten the seam and sew, stepping back from the edge by 1 cm. Insert the scallops, pass the cord through them, as in fig. 7.

The leather backpack is ready.

The most common way to sew a backpack from jeans is to take them upper part. We insert a belt into the loops, and sew the bottom. The result is a tote bag.

We make the second version of the satchel from flared trousers. We insert the legs one into the other and get a double bag. The bottom can be made both wide and narrow, at your discretion. We process the upper part to secure the fasteners and straps. We sew the latter together in the upper part, and we part them in the lower part different sides, and sew on the seam of the bottom.

Video: "Handmade" DIY bag (03/20/2013)

The modern market offers fishermen and hunters a huge selection of various ammunition. Buy necessary labor won't make up. All the more surprising for someone may be information on how to sew a backpack with your own hands, which is posted on the network in many ways.

Indeed, the times of total shortages have sunk into oblivion, and consumers now, it seems, do not have an urgent need for needlework. But this is only at first glance. Upon closer inspection, it may turn out that sewing a backpack for fishing with your own hands means purchasing ammunition that fully meets the needs of a particular fisherman. At the same time, such an ideal accessory will cost him much less than the same, but ready-made. In today's conditions, this is very relevant. The money saved can be spent on the purchase of other devices necessary for fishing. You will find out which ones by visiting this page: http://www.ohotniki.ru/equipment/backpacs/. Go to the indicated address, and you will receive information about what is especially necessary for fishing.

Now we will do something else - the search for an answer to the question posed in the title of this article.

What will we need?

First of all, you should be puzzled by the purchase of fabric. Not everyone is suitable for tailoring a tourist backpack. Avisent and kondura proved to be the best in this sense.

One caveat - avizent is produced on the basis of natural fabrics and nylon. The first one doesn't work for us. Only nylon fabric can and should be used for tailoring a backpack. The advantage of this material is its lightness (in contrast to the previously used tarpaulin, which weighed decently even when dry, but as soon as it got wet, the burden became completely unbearable), it is not afraid of wind and is sufficiently resistant to moisture. Of course, the avizent will not withstand heavy rain, but light rain will do.

If moisture-resistant characteristics are decisive for you in a backpack, we recommend using a kondura with water-repellent impregnation and polyurethane coating. This nylon fabric is not very cheap, but its price is more than justified. Did you know that the kondura was originally intended for the army? Agree, this fact speaks volumes. The advantages of kondura include its high resistance to abrasion - backpacks based on it will serve for a long time.

Little advice. If you are not confident in your seamstress skills, you should not immediately start working with expensive material. Try sewing a pattern using old items: jeans, raincoats, etc.

In addition to the main fabric, we also need an additional one. Bologna or parachute silk acts as such.

In addition, you can also purchase a foam travel mat (izolon).

How much fabric do you need?

For sewing a backpack of the main fabric (avisent or kondura), at least 3 sq.m. It all depends on the pattern you choose (more on that below).

Bologna or parachute silk is required three times less - 1 sq.m.

Isolon needs 1 sq.m. The thickness of this material is also important, which should not be less than 1 cm.

Accessories

In addition to materials, you need to purchase a large number of various accessories.

First of all, the slings are wide and narrow. First, we need 2 meters with a width of 45 mm, the second - 7 m with a width of 25 mm.

In addition, in sewing supplies stores, buy snap-in buckles (2 pieces) and tightening ones (14 pieces).

Twenty-centimeter zippers should be bought in an amount equal to the number of pockets. You also need 1 zipper 30 cm long.

In order for the backpack to keep its shape, you need to sew a frame into it. It is usually based on an aluminum tube. Length - 70 cm, diameter 4 mm. We need 2 such metal "sticks". Do not forget also about the rope (diameter 3 mm, length - 1.30 m).

The last thing you should buy is a centimeter braid (length - 2m) for finishing the seams.

Pattern

On the net you can find a huge number of the most different patterns, and not all of them are simple and understandable. But for a beginner "seamstress" complex designs may not be suitable. Therefore, today we will describe one of the simplest and most affordable ...

So, first we cut the body of the backpack. It has a trapezoidal shape with dimensions of 75 × 80x75 × 85 cm. Please note 75 cm is the height here, and 80 and 85 are two lengths. Dimensions do not include seam allowances. They are usually 1-2 cm. Immediately on this piece of chalk dotted line mark the places for sewing pockets. On such a backpack they can fit up to 3 pieces. But you can do one - it all depends on your needs.

One pocket in any case should be. Its dimensions are 25 × 25 cm (excluding seam allowances). If you want to have more than one pocket, then the other two are 25x15 cm. Sew zippers into them immediately.

Now cut out the back of the backpack. This is a long rectangle with a height of 75 cm and a width of 30 cm. Separately, you can cut out the bottom measuring 36 by 33 cm. But it is better to cut it out together with the back - then you will be able to reduce the number of seams. Immediately make tunnels for the tubes. To do this, two slings 2.5-4 cm wide are sewn to the back from top to bottom. They are not sewn tightly - so that the tubes can then be inserted. The lines should end just above the beginning of the bottom. Sew tightening buckles from above at the corners, two more should be sewn on the sides of the back at an equal distance from each other approximately in the center. Also find a place for a pen and make it from a narrow sling. It is recommended to place the handle not at the top of the back, but a little lower - at a distance of about 2.5 cm from the top edge.

Now let's start cutting the straps. This is where we need a dense and thin nylon and a tourist rug. We cut the straps from all three parts of the same shape (it is supposed to be a layer cake). Two pieces each. The length of the straps is 65 cm. The width is 3 cm.

How it's done: pieces of thin and thick nylon are sewn together, but not sewn along the bottom. Then they are turned inside out, an isolon part is inserted into the formed pocket, and now everything can be stitched. In the same way, we make a belt 75 cm long, 20 cm high. From above, it is reinforced with a wide sling. 2 slings 40 cm long and 2.5 cm wide are also attached to the edge. Tightening buckles are attached to the top at the place where they join the backpack.

What were the slings for?

They are needed to strengthen the straps. Take a narrow sling (25 mm) and attach it to the straps in several places (across). At the same time, a tightening buckle should be strengthened at the place of its end. Important nuance- the slings are sewn to the side of the strap, which is made of dense nylon.

We sew the shoulder straps to the back - over the handle. The specific distance is calculated depending on your height. For person up to 180 cm distance from bottom edge of the backpack to the beginning of the straps is 50 cm. For taller subjects - 55 cm. If your height is less than 170 cm - the straps are sewn lower - at a distance of 45 cm from the bottom edge of the backpack.

To prevent the backpack from rubbing your back, make a special “cushion”. To do this, we need the same tourist rug and soft nylon to protect it. Open out of them two identical parts in the form hourglass. At the narrowest point, the distance should be 15 cm. The width at the top is 20 cm, at the bottom 25. The height is 50 cm. Moreover, 20 cm is the height to the point of narrowing and 30 is everything else. Now we sew these details together and sew them on the back over the straps. But there is a trick here. At the bottom of our watch we leave a gap for the belt. The gap just forces those very 20 cm that remained to the point of narrowing.

How to sew a do-it-yourself lace-up backpack: a step-by-step master class with a photo

Step 1: Attach the hot-melt tape to a piece of felt cloth. Print out the letter you want to display on your backpack bag and attach it to the heat-sensitive tape. Cut out a letter from felt.

Step 2: Take two prepared pieces of fabric for a bag-bag or cut from a larger piece of material (dimensions 30x35).

Step 3: Remove a sheet of paper from the felt letter and glue it with an iron on the front side of one of the pieces of fabric.

Step 4: After you have gone over the letter with an iron, carefully sew it contrasting thread. Make the stitches long, but neat, because the letter on the backpack-bag will attract attention in the first place.

Step 5: Smooth out the front side of the future backpack on three sides about a centimeter from the edge, and leave the fourth side unfinished. Sweep the three smoothed sides.

Step 6: Do the same with inside backpack - that is, with a second piece of fabric set aside by you for sewing a bag backpack.

Step 7: On both pieces of fabric, indent from the unsmoothed edge by 6-7 centimeters and mark it with a pen. Bend literally 1 centimeter first, and then stretch the remaining 5 to attach to the mark.

Step 8: Sweep the edge (1 cm) and sew exactly along the marked line to get a "loophole" for the lace of your future backpack-bag.

Step 9: Do the same with the second piece of fabric. A string will slide along the “tunnel” and tighten the backpack-bag for the child.

Step 10: Now fold the pieces of fabric right sides inward, lining up the top edge where the string will go, and secure with a safety pin. Sew the sides of the bag, making a small seam - starting from one end of the drawstring eyelet and ending under the second.

Step 11: Turn the backpack inside out and iron it. You just have to pull the drawstring into the backpack-bag, which will tighten it!

Step 12: Using a pin, hooking it on one of the laces, pass the entire lace, starting with front side fabrics with the letter c right side. When you are done, both ends of the lace should remain on the right side - that is, the lace comes out already from the second part of the backpack, but also on the right side.

Step 13: So, both ends of the lace hang on the right side of the backpack. Line them up and tie them in a knot at the bottom.

Step 14: Repeat step 12 with the second lace, but starting on the other side. Both ends of the lace should now remain on the left side. You are almost done sewing your DIY backpack bag!

Step 15: Turn the backpack inside out again and move a couple of stitches at the bottom of the backpack, at the corners. Pass the tied ends of the lace between the stitches and bring them out at the corners of the same side on which they hung.

Step 16: Stitch the "break in" diagonally a few times to keep the knots in place.

Step 17: Turn the backpack inside out again, this time front side outward, and spread the laces on the sides so that they are taut as they should be. Backpack bag is ready!


Now the child will be happy to carry his own toys, food, uniforms or shoes in a new backpack, because you made such a wonderful do-it-yourself backpack bag especially for him. Yes, and you will enjoy it. And who knows, maybe you can finally afford to carry a smaller bag so you don't carry tons of baby food and clothes around with you.
