Baby bags are the first additions to the image of little ladies. I would like to give the child not only a fashion accessory, but also something unique. To make it special, you can make a bag for the girl with your own hands. It will not take much time, and following the master classes of skilled craftswomen, the work will seem at all easy and fun.
Features of tailoring
Hard material is needed to make: a thin and soft fabric will not keep its shape, which will not affect the appearance for the better. If the choice of textiles is small, you can create a frame. It is good if the selected material does not need additional edge processing: it will be easier to work with it.
If there is a sewing machine with a variety of finishing lines, the product will look like it was bought in a fashion boutique. Moreover, it is not necessary to hide allowances: they can be decorated with unusual contrasting lines.
When sewing bags you do not need fitting, there is no need for manual stitching. If the product is small, just a few sewing pins are enough to align the parts in the right places. If the design provides for small decor (beads, beads, metal fittings), it is better to fix it with threads if possible. Do not rely on the strength of the glue, as children are very active.
For the bag to last longer, the number one rule should be to connect the parts with threads.
Pattern stylish model over the shoulder
The styles of bags for girls are varied. Of course, over-the-shoulder bags are relevant models: they are stylish, fashionable and free hands. Their style and design depend on age, taste and purpose.
Choosing a pattern for a future bag, it is worth considering the convenience while wearing: the product should not create discomfort, have too short handles or be too massive.
The shape of the patterns is diverse: they can be very simple, in the form of an envelope, suitable for a children's clutch or, conversely, voluminous, capacious and seemingly complex at first glance. However, with the help of any pattern, the process of creating a children's bag will become much easier.
How to sew from felt: a master class
Felt is convenient because it does not need any allowances, edge processing and allows you to easily create any decorative elements. Having prepared a template for a full-size pattern, it is transferred to the fabric, then cut out without adding allowances: in this model they are not needed.
Then:
- Folding the product in the shape of an envelope, mark the place of the lock and sew on one part of the Velcro.
- So that the bag has a shape, bend details are glued with a thin strip of glue. Then, wrapping the blank with an envelope, using the hole punch, make neat holes on the side seams. Using a long ribbon, the side edges of the accessory are stitched, forming a decorative trim. Begin “sewing” from the bottom of one side and end below the other. At the same time, do not forget to leave the length for the handle.
- Velcro is sewn onto the valve, top with a decorative flower. Fashionable handbag is ready!
On this basis, many models can be made, each time introducing something new into the style. Decorative elements from felt can simply be cut out and glued to the moment glue or special hot glue. In addition, they can be sewn with a regular line along the edge. In addition to applications, you can create volumetric and multilayer compositions, securing them with a couple of stitches for reliability.
How to make a children's toy bag-house?
Following the example of needlewomen, you can reproduce a charming accessory for a girl. In addition to the material and threads, you will need flaps, frame (cardboard, plastic folders to maintain shape), cleaning cloth or synthetic winterizer.
Where to begin?
- Using templates, 7 parts are cut from the base and lining (3 walls, 2 roofs, 2 sidewalls with a roof).
- Details of the inside and outside of the house are collected on a typewriterforming rectangles. Then they are folded with their faces inward and sewn on three sides, without touching the lower cut. It turns out a large rectangle with one raw edge. The seams are ironed.
- Blanks made of plastic or cardboard are fixed with the seam forward to the needle to the textile for cleaning (so that they do not slip). Turning inward and securing with secret stitches, the part is inserted into the rectangle. For reliability, the frame is sewn at the seams.
- Sidewalls with a roof are stitched together with a lining and turned out. A frame with a heater is inserted inside, the lower cut is sutured with a hidden seam. After the sidewalls, they are sewn on three sides to the rectangle with strong threads with a hidden seam.
It remains to decorate the house and sew handles. Decorating a bag is fascinating. You can connect a child to the design: so every look at the model will remind you of a pleasant creative process. Moreover, everything that is at hand will be used: ribbons, felt, acrylic paints, beads, buttons, fringe and much more. You can create a realistic decor by placing storks on the roof, designing an attic, a rope with baby clothes, windows with curtains and flowers in pots.
If you try, you can depict the grass with a fringe, glue a funny puppy from thermal stickers, come up with trees, a bell and much more.
Small details can be drawn with acrylic paints or special felt-tip pens on the fabric. But as the fixing elements of the house it is better to use buttons and loops: this is convenient and will help the child develop fine motor skills. You can put anything inside: from simple soft toys to the "inhabitants" of a fabulous house.
Thanks to this idea, it is possible to carry out a folding option, which, if necessary, is freely displayed in the playing field-apartment.
Such accessories will not leave any girl indifferent: mother's care + a lot of ideas for the game will appeal to everyone.
Creating a baby bag for a daughter is a fascinating process. Children love joint creativity, so you should give them not only a fashion accessory, but also a lot of good mood.
