Elegant retro: do-it-yourself clasp handbag

Step 1

Find the details:

- 1 detail of a bag made of suede 50x17 cm;

- 2 rectangles for fringe of suede 17x18 cm;

- 2 strips of suede 1x8 cm for loops for a belt;

- from lining fabric 2 parts 17x17 cm and pocket detail 11x14 cm.

Step 2

Put the rectangle for the fringe upside down. Draw a line parallel to one of the short sides, backing 1 cm from the edge. Perpendicular to this line, draw the rest of the part into strips 0.5 cm wide and make cuts. Repeat for the second rectangle.

Step 3

Lubricate small strips from the inside with glue, fold in half lengthwise and glue.When the glue dries, line the stitches in the center line.

Step 4

On the part of the bag on each of the short sides, find the fastener: in the center 3 cm from the edge. Install the clasp.

Step 5

Fold the bag in half with the front side inward. Between the layers, insert the fringe details so that the uncut part of the rectangles falls into the seam, and the fringe is between the details of the bag. Fasten with clamps. Make side seams.

Step 6

Tuck the upper edge of the pocket part twice to the wrong side by 1 cm, iron and stitch the flap to the edge. Tuck the side and bottom edges of the part 1 cm and iron.

Sew a pocket onto one of the lining details.

Then fold the lining parts face to face and grind along the side and bottom side, leaving a hole for turning out on the bottom side. Iron the seams.

Step 7

Insert the bag into the lining with the front facing the front. Align the side seams. In the area of the side seams, attach the details of the loops, as shown in the right photo. Fasten with clamps and grind the lining and bag.

Step 8

Turn out the bag and sew the hole on the lining with a hidden seam manually. At a distance of 2 cm from the top edge, lay a stitch, forming a drawstring. Leave a small hole through which to pass the elastic tape. Sew the ends of the tape and sew the hole.
