Little fashionistas are no less pickyto their wardrobe than their older "colleagues". True, their ideas about fashion and style are very peculiar. Sometimes the little lady does not want to wear or wear what her mother likes. But she would gladly wear heels (like her mother or older sister). But then her mother shows character and declares that such shoes are not suitable for a girl. Okay. Heels are not allowed, then let's get a bag. A bag? Here both ladies agree. Of course, what kind of lady would be without a bag? And the mother and her child begin to sort through all sorts of bags in stores, looking for a suitable item. Stop. And why in a store? Why not sew a bag for a girl with your own hands? The accessory is not large in size, it does not require so many materials, and it will take even less time. So, mothers (grandmothers, aunts, sisters), arm yourself with a needle and thread and get to work. Let's sew a small ladies' handbag for your princess.
How to sew a purse made of denim fabric?
The most win-win option.Surely somewhere in your closet you have children's jeans that your child has outgrown, but it's a pity to throw them away. Let's put them to use and sew a playful denim bag. Considering that on children's trousers it is mainly the knees and the bottom of the legs that wear out, while the top remains "like new", we will take this part of the trousers as the basis for the bag. First, wash, dry and iron the jeans. Then cut off the legs. Do not throw the legs away, we will make a handle for the bag or its sides from them. If we are going to sew a bag without sides, then take the top, rip the seam between the legs and carefully cut off the excess fabric along a straight cut line. Rip out the zipper and iron the place where it was sewn. Then fold the fly parts (as if the jeans were buttoned) and stitch the joint. Also stitch the belt in the place where it was buttoned. Turn the bag inside out and make a strong stitch along the bottom. Process the seam. The bag is almost ready, all that's left is to sew the handle. To do this, cut out the handle part from the trouser leg, make a small hem and topstitch along the edges (along the length), iron. Sew the handle to the bag, process the seam. If desired, decorate the finished bag with an applique and sew in a zipper. But, it must be said that a zipper is an optional element for a children's bag. Therefore, you can get by with "little blood" and leave the bag without a zipper. That's how, with your own hands, you can sew a new children's bag from old jeans.
How to sew a handbag - a toy?
To sew a toy bag with your own hands,choose very dense fabric or leather (natural or artificial) in two colors. We will also need thin foam rubber and lining fabric. And in order for the bag to be interesting and bright, think over its design together with the future owner. Involve the child in the process: let him share his ideas, draw a sketch or have the opportunity to sew small parts, choose the fabric and in general let him also get used to working with his hands. For example, you can make a bag in the form of a lion's head. In order to sew such a bag, take the fabric and cut out two circles of the desired diameter from it - this will be the head of the Good Lion. From fabric of a different color, cut out a circle of a smaller diameter - this is the muzzle. Then, according to the size of the circumference of the detail for the muzzle, cut out a ring - this is the mane. Make cuts on the mane (it is good if we use felt or leather - they do not need to be overcast). Two more small cut out circles will become ears, and buttons - eyes. We make additional details. Based on the pattern for the head, we cut out circles from thin foam rubber and the same ones from the lining fabric. We assemble the parts: a circle from the lining fabric, a circle from the foam rubber, a circle from the main fabric. We attach the ears. We stitch all the parts along the circumference. In the center of the finished part, we put a circle for the muzzle and stitch it along the circumference as well. The muzzle will be convex. We sew the second part of the bag in the same way. Then we fold both parts with the wrong side and again stitch along the circumference, leaving the top of the bag unstitched. We cut out the handle and sew it to the bag. Then we make a face for the Kind Lion: we sew on button eyes, embroider or sew on a round dark nose, embroider a mouth and tongue (the tongue is optional). That's all, we managed to sew a toy bag with our own hands. In the same way, any mother can sew a bunny bag, a pig bag, a dog bag or a cat bag with her own (and her daughter's) hands. Do not forget about the little princess's vital interest in such an important accessory for her as a bag. Give her the opportunity to sew with you. Let the little fashionista come up with a bag for herself, and let her mother bring the child's idea to life with her own hands. By the way, children's preferences (as well as women's in general) as well as the manner (even in its infancy) of wearing a bag will help to understand more about the character of the owner of this accessory.
Bag and character
Want to know about the character of the little ladybigger? Then look at how she carries her bag. However, if the little one has not yet chosen her own style and imitates her mother in everything, then this test will tell more about her mother’s character. Although, the apple does not fall far from the tree. If a lady carries a bag in her lowered hand by the handle, she is punctual and moderate in everything. If the hand is put through the handle and the elbow is pressed, the lady knows her worth, is thrifty and loves order. And if the hand is raised to the shoulder, she is energetic, sociable and bold. The bag is on the shoulder, the hand is not very mobile and lowered - the woman is insecure and shy. If the hand moves freely, the lady is cheerful. A bag pressed under the arm is worn by a withdrawn, but serious person, who is also emotionally stable and independent. “Handbag” preferences will also tell a lot about a woman’s character. A large bag is typical for active and hard-working women. Ladies who pay a lot of attention to their appearance prefer elegant handbags. A small handbag without a handle is preferred by organized and reserved natures. What kind of lady will your princess grow into? Time will tell. In the meantime, bring joy to your child and give her not only a beautiful handbag, but an attribute of femininity. Let her get used to being a real lady. We recommend reading:
