Pair it with the babys, and the two of them can carry it like this A shoulder bag is so fun to wear when going shopping. For the steps to DIY a shoulder bag, please refer to the detailed illustrated tutorial below.
Before making the shoulder bag, please briefly browse through the "Production Sequence" and grasp the process before starting.
Production order:
1. Cut the paper pattern
2. Cut the outer fabric, lining fabric, and print it
3. Cutting and laying cotton
4. Paste cotton on the table cloth
5. Sewing the outer fabric and lining fabric
6. Sew the zipper
7. Make side inward corners
8. Sew the handle to fix it
9. Sew the sides
10. Processing seam allowances
Production steps:
1. Cut the paper pattern
The paper pattern already includes a 1cm seam allowance. Please cut according to the solid line.
Split the paper pattern on two pieces of paper, and use glue to glue the part where "のりしろ" is written.
Note: Large paper patterns are divided into three pieces of paper.
Please confirm whether it is 15cm (18cm for large paper) wide. If you find it is not 15cm, please enlarge or reduce it before printing. Please set zoom100% when printing.
2. Cut the surface fabric, lining fabric, and print it
(1) Cut a table cloth
(2) Align the thick solid lines shown in the "Seal" on the paper pattern and cut the cut marks (use scissors to cut a 2~3cm cut mark), as shown in the picture. There are 8 places that need to be cut.
(3) In the same way as the front fabric, cut a piece of lining fabric and make the cut marks.
Note: Please do not throw away the paper pattern immediately. The followingThere may be a function to check the marks in the steps.
3. Cutting and laying cotton
When cutting and laying cotton, you should cut it 1~2cm smaller than the paper shape. The single-sided glue used here is paved cotton. The quilting with glue on one side is not easy to sew incorrectly and can be easily and neatly cut out, so it is recommended. It doesn’t matter if it’s not a cotton paving with glue on one side.
4. Paste cotton on the table cloth
Place the cotton with the glued side up, overlap the surface fabric on top, and use an iron from above to bond the cotton and the surface fabric together.
5. Sewing the surface fabric and lining fabric
(1) Turn the front fabric and lining fabric face inward and sew the mouth of the bag. Start sewing 1cm from the edge.
(2) Turn the front side out and use an iron to shape it.
(3) Fix the surface fabric and lining fabric, and sew both sides with a sewing machine. Start sewing about 7mm from the edge.
6. Sewing the zipper
It can be sewn open from the left or right according to your habit. By the way, my daughter says both are equally convenient. Here, the production is pulled apart from the left.
(1) First of all, before sewing on the zipper money, pay attention to distinguish the zipperThe top and bottom order of packages. The place where the handle is to be fixed (that is, the place marked "タブfu" on the paper pattern) is sewn at the bottom. Next, make the zipper protrude 5mm from the edge of the fabric and secure it. You can use bead needles or double-sided tape to fix it.
(2) Sew with a sewing machine
When the zipper buckle is blocked, move the zipper buckle back and forth before sewing. You can sew neatly using a presser foot or single-sided presser foot.
(3) In the same way, fix the other side with a beading needle and then sew it with a sewing machine.
This will form a tube shape.
7. Make side inward corners
(1) Turn it over and inside out to make noodles. Then, along the paper shape, fold it forward (outward) and fold it backward (inward). Overlap the areas marked A and A’, B and B’ on the paper pattern respectively, and fix them with clips.
Reference: In this state, if you sew the two sides together and turn it back to the front, it will look like the picture below. (However, it’s not yet time to sew the edges together).
8. Sewing the handle to fix it
The fixed length of the handle here is 5cm, which should be determined according to the shoulder bag strap.The width adjusts its length.
(1) Fix the handle and fold it in half, align both sides and sew with a sewing machine starting from about 5mm below the edge.
(2) Align the fixed end of the handle to the place marked with the "タブfu position" mark on the original paper shape of the bag.
(3) Then, use bead pins or clips to securely secure the handle to the satchel. At this time, you can pull the zipper buckle to about the middle of the bag.
9. Sew the sides
Start hemming 1cm from both sides.
10. Processing seam allowances
Wrap the seam allowance with piping tape, and the width of the piping can be adjusted according to preference. The 22mm wide piping tape sold on the market is used here. After folding both sides toward the center line, it becomes 11mm.
(1) Cut off the excess zipper with scissors.
If the width of the folded piping tape is less than 1cm, it is best to adjust the seam allowance and cut it according to the width of the piping tape.
(2) The seam allowance will be very thick at this time, use scissors to cut it thinner. Where two layers overlap, cut off the top layer. The folded corners on the side are made of four overlapping layers, so cut off the top two layers. Although it doesn’t have to be so extreme, after doing this, there will be a gap in the seam allowance, and it will be easier to wrap it with piping tape.
(3) Turn the small satchel over, with the side without the zipper facing up. Then, sew on one side of the piping tape.
(4) Turn the small satchel over and fold the seams on both sides of the piping inward.
(5) Insert bead pins to fix.
(6) Use a sewing machine to sew the edges.
(7) Do the same with the seam allowance on the other side
(8) turn frontward
(9) Pass the strap through the handle and secure it
The first three pictures below are paper drawings of large-size packages.
There is a mark of "combined printing" in the drawings of the article. It means to combine several prints from different customers with the same print run and the same paper or different prints from the same customer into the same group of layouts. Printed with an offset printing machine and then cut into pieces, this process is called combined printing.
A very cute and refreshing shoulder bag is handmade. It is so fulfilling to be able to complete it by yourself. It is no worse than the bags sold in big shopping malls. In the future, can you consider making your own bags at home? , save money and be personalized!
