These are so gratifying to create, both aesthetically pleasing and practical. And I’ve moved them up in scale to ‘floor baskets.’ Naturally, I imagine using these to house knitting necessities, but they also work well for toys (canine, baby, or otherwise), socks, electronics…
This is one of those statement accessories that would look great with a neutral outfit… if only I owned one. I might have to go buy a white shirt. There’s something I love about the feeling of a clutch, the way it snuggles under your arm, and the way you can never totally ignore it– not like a messenger bag that just gets flung to your backside. The clutch is a real participant in the ensemble.
DIY Metal Clasp Frame Purse / Bag in Russian style. Free Sewing Tutorial and Pattern.
For storage of money, a bag, which is put on the waist under the clothes.
Often the size of the lady bag is missing. And we complement it with packages, where we put everything that I did not fit in a female bag (no matter how much it was). I propose to sew a simple bag that will replace our countless packages to us.
I offer you a simple and original summer handbag, which is sewn easily and quickly.
Making this stylish and functional summer accessory is easy! To work, we will need a rectangular piece of felt 60 cm by 20 cm, a zipper 18-20 cm, a pair of holsters, any other buttons or Velcro, scissors and half an hour of free time.
I love this natural cotton material, beautiful, strong, durable, stylish, comfortable! And now the model of the bag was born, you can go to the beach and go shopping with it.
Onto the tutorial. Firstly, you will need a tin - any sized tin will do. In saying that, it will make your life easier if your tin fits over the end of your sewing machine (you will see why later in the tutorial). Wash and dry your tin thoroughly. If you choose a tin in which a smell lingers, wash it in a 20% bleach solution. It will get rid of any nasty odours left behind!!
This is a roomy eco-bag, simple rectangular shape with long handles. It replaces the package from the store.
The original zip tutorial idea I had evolved into a little zip pouch tutorial - something that you could make any size you like to fit any number of things...sewing stuff, nappy & wipes or maybe travel documents.
Here's a little square-bottomed canvas bucket. The design uses a Jordy bag style to get the squared bottom. I kept the height short so it would have a chance of standing on its own (and it does!), and the two little handles on either side are sewn onto the outer fabric with a tight zig-zag stitch.
These baskets can be made in any size - all measurements here make a finished basket that holds a 100g ball of wool very nicely :)
