[Method]:

1. Measure the length of the bag you need from the trouser leg to the trouser waist. Duoma measured 20cm, drew a line and left it well

Seam edges, cut. Just use the trouser legs to make the body of the bag, so we only need to sew one bottom.

Step 2: Prepare the bottom and barrel, and sew the little lion pattern

[Method]:

2. Cut an oval bottom on another piece of denim fabric. Note that the side length of the oval should be about the same length as the bottom of the bag barrel cut in the picture above, and also reserve a seam position.

3. After preparing the bottom and barrel, we put it aside first and sew the little lion. Draw the little lion on the back of the denim. Cut it directly without leaving a seam. Use the front fabric to cut out the nose, eyes, and dark color. Sew the thread on top and use the thread to sew out the mouth and beard.

Step 3: Use floral cloth to style the little lion’s hair

[Method]:

4. Find a piece of floral cloth. We are going to make the hair of the little lion. The fronts of the floral cloth are facing each other, as shown in the figure. Sew it, and cut the crescent opening. Be sure to leave a return opening. Do not sew first, and wait until the fabric is returned to the front. Sew again.

5. After sewing the floral fabric, return it to the front, fill it with cotton, sew the back opening, and fix the little lion head on the hair with patch seams.

Step 4: Collage floral fabric and denim to make the body part of the little lion

7. On the back of the lions hair, use thread to fix the head and legs together, and the little lion is ready.

Step 5: Finally make the shoulder straps and inner bag sewing of the backpack

[Method]:

8. Cut two long strips of denim and two strips of floral fabric to make suspenders.

9. Sew the bottom of the bucket and the straps to the bag bucket.

10. Use floral cloth to make the inner bag of the barrel. It should be longer because the girdle is to be used. In fact, the inner bag is just a girdle bag.

11. Sew the floral inner bag and the barrel body together.

12. Install the rope and complete.
