How to sew a cosmetic bag out of fabric with your own hands. Simple and beautiful do-it-yourself cosmetic bag

Which of the girls is not familiar with the situation: as always, at the right time, nothing can be found in the bag! And the right thing, according to the law of meanness, does not come to hand. We know what needs to be done: sew a comfortable cosmetic bag! Makeup bag with your own hands: depending on the fabric and the complexity of the pattern, it will take you only one evening to complete this work. In order to sew cosmetic bags with your own hands, it is not necessary to have a sewing machine - everything can be done manually, with a “needle forward” seam. If you sew carefully, no one will see the difference.

First, we sew a cosmetic bag with a zipper - the master class is very simple. In the photo there are 2 cosmetic bags: a large one and a smaller one. We will sew the smaller one. In addition to storing cosmetics, it can also be used by a woman as a wallet - you can keep small bills in it. A pattern is not needed here, the dimensions of the cosmetic bag are 23 cm wide and 14 cm high.

For work you will need:

  1. Flaps from the main fabric with roses 13/14 cm. - 2 pcs.
  2. Pieces of striped fabric 6/14 cm. - 4 pcs.
  3. Lining fabric - 25/28 cm.
  4. Sintepon - 25/28 cm. (If the lining is dense, then sew without a synthetic winterizer).
  5. Lightning.
  6. Rep tape - 12 cm.
  7. Tailor's pins.
  8. Ruler, pencil, scissors.
  9. Ring for decoration.

We prepared shreds and lining, cut the rep tape into 3 parts.

On the front side of the main part with a rose, we put 2 striped parts on both sides, front to front. We sew on a typewriter or sew on by hand. We bend the seams towards the striped parts and iron them.

If you are working on a typewriter, make a finishing line 0.5 cm from the stitching of the patches (seen in the photo below).

Next, we need to process the ends of the zipper with rep tape. To do this, fold 2 pieces of tape in half, apply to the front side of the zipper and chop off with pins. Then we put the zipper on the front of the cosmetic bag and also pin it with pins along the entire length.

We sew the zipper first on one side, then unzip it and sew the second part of the zipper to the second half of the cosmetic bag. For beauty, you can decorate the zipper with a finishing line.

We thread the third part of the rep tape into a ringlet, then pin it with a pin at a distance of 1.5 cm from the finishing line.

We continue to sew cosmetic bags. We turn inside out, align, pin the side parts with pins. We sew all 3 sides of the cosmetic bag. Seam width 1 cm.

If you decide to make a product with a padding polyester, then it is advisable to sew it to the lining so that it does not go astray.

Sew the sides of the lining. We turn the lining on the face, bend the upper edge by 1 cm, press it with an iron. We put the lining inside the product. We pin it with pins and hem it manually with a blind stitch.

That's all. If you increase the size of the product, it will become more voluminous - it will already be a travel cosmetic bag. A cosmetic bag can be made with several compartments, if you add another 13/13 cm flap when sewing the sides of the lining.

Recently, accessories in the form of animals, for example, in the form of such a cute baby elephant, have been especially popular. How to make a cosmetic bag with an elephant - our master class will tell.

The elephant can be leather or felt. The pattern can be drawn by hand. Choose any. It is important that the base of the elephant is at least 30 cm in size. After cutting out the elephant itself, you can estimate the folds on the base, and taking this into account, cut out the round base itself on which the elephant will be sewn. The diameter of the base is equal to the lower cut of the elephant. Next, we outline the cutout for the zipper. One more detail: in addition to two details, it is necessary to cut out the oval of the ear, which later needs to be glued or sewn to the main ear.

The white paper pattern is not entirely successful; only the oval of the base can be taken from it. This pattern will be more precise than the previous one:

For work you will need:

  1. A piece of felt, leather, velveteen or suede.
  2. Zipper.
  3. 2 beads.
  4. Tailor's pins, scissors, needle, elephant-colored thread.

We draw on paper a pattern of the desired size. If you want to make a product from velvet or denim, then you will have to use adhesive interlining or dublerin to shape it.

We make an incision on the back in order to insert a zipper. If you are making an elephant out of fabric, treat the zipper with a piping so that the fabric does not spill out.

We process the zipper in the same way as a “framed” pocket: on the front side of the product we put a piece of lining, 7-8 cm wide and longer than the zipper. We pin with pins. We mark with chalk a “frame” 1 cm wide, and a little less than the size of a zipper. We scribble a "frame" along our line. Cut like this, along with the main fabric, making triangular cuts in the corners.

We remove all our lining fabric inside, iron it, and go through the “frame” on a typewriter or manually, straightening the “edging” from the lining with a width of 0.2 mm. We pin the zipper with pins, and stitch it, we will get a neatly processed edge.

We sew the "trunk" and the sides of the elephant. We sew folds with a fastener.

Glue or sew "inner" ears to the ears. We sew up the holes that we have left.

We chip off with pins, and then sew the oval of the base.

That's all. The elephant is ready. You can sew beads instead of eyes, or you can embroider it with colored threads in ethnic style. Elephants bring good luck.

How to sew a cosmetic bag with your own hands? Another version of a cosmetic bag in the form of an elephant. Make a zipper on the back, and you can decorate with buttons, ribbons, bows, and so on.

How to make a cosmetic bag unusual, cool? You can sew round or voluminous, square or in the shape of animals. Here are just a few models: a purse, a chest, a small bag - they are all with simple patterns.

There are times when after cleaning the house comes the realization of the lack of storage space.

There are no boxes for storing threads.

Where to put pencils or cosmetics?

At such moments, it is vital to have a universal cosmetic bag on hand, in which all things magically hide.

It will be especially pleasant to use it if you make it yourself or receive this miracle as a gift.

Cosmetic bag-purse with your own hands

An elegant and simple cosmetic bag in a classic wallet shape. This pattern can be made in any size. It is enough to increase the size of the pattern. The fabric for the cosmetic bag is chosen dense, which will not stretch diagonally.

In the process of sewing, you will need the following materials: very dense fabric measuring 40 cm2, companion fabric measuring 60/10 cm, two additional companion fabrics of completely different colors for decoration on the sides measuring 25/17 cm, a narrow strip of cotton lace, a hidden zipper 20 cm long, a pendant on a slider with a hidden zipper, threads, scissors, a needle, a sewing machine and, of course, a pattern.

1. The pattern given as an example is redrawn on paper by hand. The width is 20 cm and the height is 10 cm. The width of the bottom is chosen arbitrarily. The optimal thickness will be 8 cm, as in the figure;

2. According to the finished paper pattern, a textile part is made: left side and right side. You should get one part, not two, the sides of which are the same on both sides of the center of the location of the future lightning. The width of the cutout for a hidden zipper depends strictly on the width of the zipper teeth. The thing is, the lightning can be selected by the master with cloves, like a “tractor lock”;

4. The bottom is cut out according to the finished pattern. It is extended in width and smoothly passes into the side walls of the future product. The side walls are slightly narrowed. When manufacturing, allowances are taken into account;

5. Sewing process starts. First of all, side inserts are sewn to the main product, as in the figure. If you use a very dense fabric for the liner that does not fray, you can not fold it inward, but attach and sew a line on top with an indent from the edge of 0.5 cm, exactly as in the figure. Otherwise, the fabric is folded over and sewn with a 1 mm stitch. from the edge";

6. A hidden zipper is sewn in. This is where dexterity and the ability to accurately scribble on a sewing machine come in handy. First, lightning is simply applied to the place of the future location. It is recommended to manually lay a “stabilizing seam” 1-2 cm from the teeth. However, this manipulation can be performed if this seam does not spoil the dense fabric, does not leave unnecessary visible punctures from the needle. Without a "stabilizing seam", a hidden zipper is sewn on like this - by eye. The sewing machine is set to a slow sewing mode and gradually: centimeter by centimeter, the original task is performed;

7. It's the turn of sewing on the bottom. The cut part is pinched with ordinary clothespins for convenience, as shown in the figure. The future connecting line will pass on the front side of the product, not on the wrong side. Optionally, this condition can be changed;

8. Lace is inserted along the entire edge of the cosmetic bag through the plucked places of the fabric;

Finally, the elegant makeup bag is done. It is decorated with an accessory - a pendant.

Sophisticated cosmetic bag-basket do-it-yourself

Very beautiful and truly unique cosmetic bag. You can even just admire it from afar. And if you make it as a gift - it will be enchanting! The fabric used is dense. It is better if it is "American cotton". The height of the cosmetic bag is only 10 cm, and the width (diameter of the round bottom) is 11 cm.

Materials used: the color of the fabric is chosen according to individual taste, but you can choose exactly according to the pattern, the length of the zipper is 20 cm (the extra length will be cut off, and there are no zippers with the desired length for this cosmetic bag), compasses, threads, needle, scissors. Pattern is not needed. The whole process is based on the exceptional skill and skill of the master.

Cosmetics making steps:

1. Rectangular strips are made in the amount of 40 pieces. Their width is 1.5 cm. Given the allowances, the width during cutting will be 4 cm, since each strip is first folded in half, and then both edges with allowances tucked inward are sewn on a sewing machine;

2. After 40 pieces of strips are sewn, they are sewn to the textile base from above and below diagonally. Before that, two identical parts with a diameter of 11 cm are cut out using a compass. One of them is set aside for the time being;

3. When the strips are sewn to the bottom, you can sew the strips on the top side. To do this, a rectangular strip is cut out, which on one side is first sewn to forty strips, turned inside out and a zipper is sewn to it. A hidden zipper is connected to the product inside, a seam connecting 40 strips is hidden parallel under the zipper braid;

4. The cover is sewn. The round piece has already been cut out for it. A second round piece of the same diameter is cut out, which will be located on the inside of the lid near the cosmetic bag;

5. Before both round parts are sewn together, the front side of the cap is decorated with a patchwork pattern;

6. Next, finally, both sides of the cover are sewn together, where a hidden zipper is laid around the perimeter. She is as secret as ever. Be sure to insert a tongue for easy opening of the cosmetic bag. The figure shows two sewn-in zippers. However, you can also sew one long one;

Everything, on this cosmetic bag is made by hand. The craftswoman can be proud of her work, as the sewing technique was, indeed, very complex. It can be performed by anyone with patience and diligence.

We women are just obsessed with cosmetics. Lotions, tonics, lipsticks, shadows, pencils, you can list for a long time. And all this wealth must be stored somewhere. Of course, in cosmetics.

We usually also have a great variety of cosmetic bags: one harmonizing one in each handbag, plus a few at home.
We offer you a pattern of a cosmetic bag from Elena Grishina. You can decorate it to match the interior of your bedroom or as an addition to an existing handbag.

Dimensions: 12 cm high, 22 cm wide, bottom width - 3 cm.

For a pattern of cosmetic bags with our own hands, we need:

main fabric,
lining fabric,
zipper,
zipper fabric.

Getting Started

1. First, cut out rectangles from the main and lining fabric.

The height is equal to the sum of the two heights of the cosmetic bag, the width of the bottom and the seam allowances (1 cm is enough on each side): 2 * 12 + 3 + 2 * 1 = 29 cm.
The width is one width of the cosmetic bag and allowances for seams: 22 + 2 * 1 = 24 cm.

2. We seal the main fabric with dublerin.

3. If the fabric frays, you can overlock the edges.

4. Now we decorate our cosmetic bag.

5. If desired, you can make a small tongue using pieces of fabric. But, in principle, it is not necessary.

Now we move on to the most important stage of work - we make a frame for the zipper.

1. We take a lock: detachable or one-piece. One-piece is a little easier to work with.

Try to adjust the size of the cosmetic bag to the length of the zipper. That is, if the width of our cosmetic bag is 22 cm, then the length of the zipper along with the frame should be 22 cm.

If the castle is larger than the future cosmetic bag, it can be shortened. It is better not to take shorter locks - increasing the length complicates the work a little.

2. The width of our frame will be 2 cm.

3. Cut out 2 rectangles of fabric. The width is equal to two frame widths: 2 * 2 = 4 cm. The height depends on the width of the zipper. To this width, add 1 cm on each side (just in case). The width of our zipper is 3 cm, plus 2 cm, for a total frame height of 5 cm.

4. We glue the resulting pieces of fabric with doubler.

5. Now we iron the fabric along the height, wrapping 0.7 cm on one side and 1.3 cm on the other. We get blanks 2 x 5 cm.

6. We place one end of the lock in the workpiece so that the 2 cm side falls on the face, and the 1.3 cm bend is on the wrong side.

From the inside it looks like this:

7. We stitch the frame on the front side. Please note that the stitching does not extend beyond the edges of the zipper.

8. We fix the lapel 1.3 cm:

9. As you can see, we stitched both the zipper and the bottom lapel (view from the inside).

10. Cut off excess fabric and process the edges with an overlock, zigzag or manually.

11. In the same way, we process the second edge of the castle.

We connect the details of the cosmetic bag.

1. Attach the lock in the frame to the makeup bag pattern face to face.

2. Turn off the zipper and attach the second side.

3. From the inside, the sewn-in zipper should look like this:

4. Turn inside out and iron.

5. Turn inside out again and sew on the lining.

Since the lining should be a little smaller than the makeup bag itself, just make a little more allowance.

The side cuts can be processed either separately at the cosmetic bag itself and its lining, or with one joint seam.

Now you know how to sew a cosmetic bag with your own hands. Inspiration to you!

For this we need:

  • piece of thick cotton or linen fabric measuring 17 × 26 cm
  • red cotton for appliqué and loop
  • cotton with red polka dots measuring 16x24 cm for lining
  • copper carabiner
  • ringlet
  • red zipper

From thick cotton (two-thread), cut out two rectangles measuring 17 × 13 cm.

From cotton polka dots, also cut 2 rectangles, but 16 × 12 cm in size.

On one of the outer parts of the valentine handbag, make an applique in the form of a heart.

To do this, cut out a heart from a red fabric in a flower, carefully baste it or glue it to the base on the “cobweb” and lay a “zig-zag” seam 4 mm long and 2 mm wide along the edge. Pull the threads inside out and secure with several knots.

Now take care of the zipper. In order for the handbag to open comfortably, the clasp should be 1.5 cm shorter than the length of the upper base.

In this case, the base is 17 cm, the seam allowances are 1 cm, therefore, the length of the snake should be 12 cm (17-1x2-1.5x2).

Finish the edges of the fastener. To do this, from the same cotton as the appliqué, cut a rectangle 5 × 6 cm in size. Bend inward 1-1.5 cm and iron the long sides of the rectangle:

Then fold the workpiece in the middle, and iron again.

Insert a fastener into the middle of the textile retainer and lay a straight stitch along its edge. Treat the second edge of the zipper in the same way.

At the next stage, it is necessary to sew the fastener to the base and lining of the valentine cosmetic bag.

To do this, place the outer part of the handbag on the table with a heart up. On it, combining the edges, lay the “zipper” with the fastener down:

And then - the lining, pattern down.

Stepping back a few millimeters from the edge, lay a straight seam (stitch width 3 mm), thereby connecting all the details of the “valentine”.

Turn the workpiece over and align the wrong sides of the lining and the right side. Step back from the edge 2-3 mm and lay a straight seam.

Thanks to this seam, neither the lining piece nor the front fabric will fall into the fastener when unfastened.

Following the above principle, sew the clasp to the second side of the handbag.

Prepare a loop for the carabiner. To do this, cut out a rectangle 25 cm long and 5 cm wide from the floral fabric. Smooth the long sides of the rectangle inward 1 cm, bend it in the middle, and lay a straight seam along the open edge. Attach a carabiner to the strap.

Similarly, make a blank for the ringlet, but 5 cm long. Insert the ring into it and fix it with a tailor's pin on the front side of the handbag.

At the final stage, combine the details of the front part and the lining with the pattern inward, remembering to unfasten the fastener.

Lay a straight stitch along the perimeter of the workpiece, leaving a 5-7 cm hole unsewn on the lining.

At the corners of the "valentine", align the side and the seam of the base and lay a straight line 3 cm long perpendicular to them.

Turn the bag inside out and close the opening with a blind seam.

Valentine makeup bag is ready!
