How to make a beach bag from old jeans

Step 1

Measure the width of the leg at the bottom of the jeans.

Step 2

Move the ruler higher until the width of the trouser leg begins to change. Stop at this place.

Make a mark with tailor's chalk.

Step 3

Draw a straight line across the leg of the leg.

Step 4

Cut the trouser legs along the marked line.

Step 5

Turn the cut trouser legs inside out.

Step 6

Trim the hem allowance and cut the leg along the seam. Leave the backstitch as is.

Step 7

Using a tailor's ruler and chalk, align the pieces. These will be the main parts of the bag. In this case, they turned out to be the following sizes: Width - 48 cm; Length (height) - 43 cm.

Step 8

According to these dimensions, cut out 2 side pieces 43 cm long and 14 cm wide and a beach bag bottom piece 48 cm long and 14 cm wide.

Step 9

We will need one more additional part, which will act as a pocket for bottled water. Its dimensions are length 43 cm and width 22 cm, taking into account allowances.

Step 10

From the lining fabric, cut out all the pieces of the bag except the piece from step 9.

Step 11

Sew the side parts to the bag parts along the longitudinal sections with allowances 1 cm wide.

Turn the seam allowances over the side parts of the bag and set aside.

Turn the bag inside out.

Step 12

Sew the bottom to the bag parts using long sections.

Cut the allowances along the lower edges of the side parts of the bag exactly at the seams to a length of 1 cm. Pin short sections of the bottom of the bag to the side parts of the bag.

Sew by starting/ending stitches exactly at the corners.

Turn the bag inside out.

Step 13

Sew a pocket from old jeans to a part of the bag made of lining fabric.

Step 14

On the additional piece from step 9, turn the seam allowances on the short edges to the wrong side and iron them. Turn the seam allowances to the wrong side again and iron.

Postpone.

Step 15

Place the additional piece between the main and side pieces of the bag, pin and stitch.

Fold the side part of the lining upward.

Fold the extra piece in half, aligning the long cut with the opposite cut of the side lining piece.

Place the bag lining piece on the side piece, pin and stitch. Next, sew the lining for the beach bag from old jeans in exactly the same way and in the same sequence as the main parts.

Step 16

From the remnants of denim or lining fabric, cut out 2 pieces of handles 63 cm long and 10 cm wide, taking into account 1 cm allowances. Turn the allowances on long sections to the wrong side and iron them. Fold the handle parts in half lengthwise, wrong side inward, and iron. Stitch the handles to the edge on both sides. The finished size of the handles is 63x4 cm.

In this master class, handles and belts are made from old jeans.

Step 17

Pin the handles to the main part of the bag from the front side, at a distance of 13 cm from the center line of the front/back side of the bag.

Step 18

Place the bag in the lining, right side to right side. Pin along the top edges.

Stitch with a 2.5cm seam allowance, leaving a small opening for turning inside out.

Turn the bag right side out through the open hole.

Topstitch the bag along the top edge with a slight shift to the wrong side.

Ready!

Large beach bag made from old jeans.

With the onset of the beach season, many fashionistas have the question of purchasing a beach bag. Of course, you can always buy it, but a hand-sewn product will look much more interesting. The most inexperienced needlewomen can cope with this task. Step by step instructions how to sew a beach bag with your own hands, patterns for work and useful tips for implementation interesting ideas you will find in this article.

Method 1

The details for such an accessory can be immediately cut out on the desired fabric, drawing elements of the required sizes on it with chalk. However, the most proven method is to use patterns on paper, because they are not only convenient, but also reusable.

The parts must have the following dimensions:

The parts of the bag that are located at the front and back are 36*40 cm.
If there is only one part, then together with the fold the dimensions will be 72*40, where 72 is the length and 40 is the width.
The bottom has the shape of a rectangle 36*9 cm.
The handles of the product are 100*2 cm - you can adjust this parameter.

Important! When cutting out parts, do not forget to leave seam allowances. They should be approximately 1-2 cm wide. Also, do not forget that all parts, with the exception of the handles, must be cut out the same (the lining fabric is no exception).

Bag base

In order to sew a beach bag with your own hands using a pattern, you need to follow this procedure:

Duplicate the front, back and bottom parts of the bag with padding polyester. To do this, you need to pin the cut part to a piece of padding polyester and sew them together.

Important! Do not forget that you need to cut off the allowances made on the fabric from the padding polyester. You don't need extra thickness of the product.

Sew the back and front sides of the product together.
Iron the resulting seams.
On the narrow side of the bottom rectangle, mark the middle, then combine it with the side seam of the product. Do the same on the other side of the rectangular piece.
Sew the parts, cut off the excess padding polyester lining.
Press the resulting seams.
Turn the product inside out. You will end up with a bag that resembles a rectangle.
Sew the same bag from lining fabric.

Internal pockets

To make pockets you need to do the following:

Cut pockets of the required size from the lining fabric.
Finish the edges of future pockets to prevent the fabric from fraying.
Beach bags often have one zippered pocket. If desired, baste such a fastener to one of the prepared pockets.
Select the locations of the pockets and sew on the details.

Important! At your discretion, you can sew a wide elastic band, which, in turn, will serve as a holder for water, glasses or combs.

Turn out the inner “bag” and iron it.

Pens

To finish sewing a beach bag with your own hands according to the pattern, you need to make the handles of the product. It's very easy to do this:

Cut a strip of fabric to the desired length.
Iron the seam allowance to the inside.
Pin together with safety pins.
Tack.
Close the allowances by sewing a grosgrain ribbon onto them for this purpose. The handles are made.

Final stage

So, the main parts have been made, now we need to move on to the final stitching of the future accessory. To do this, you need to follow a simple algorithm:

Place the inside of the bag inside the outside.
Pin these two pieces together.
Sew them together.

Decorate ready product to your liking.

The bag is ready!

Method 2

A great option is to sew a beach mat bag with your own hands. Such products are very convenient to use, because they simultaneously perform two useful functions. Moreover, even the girl who first picked up a thread and a needle can handle making such an accessory.

For work you will need the following materials:

Cotton fabric in the color you like.
Water-repellent fabric.
Braid, fabric appliqués for decorating the finished product.
Foam rubber. It is better to immediately cut 4 pieces measuring 50*39 cm.

Now you can get to work:

Cut rectangles 160*55 cm from the prepared fabrics.
Cut 8 pieces of braid, the thickness of which is 5 cm. They will act as ties for the sides.
Sew these pieces along the long sides of the cotton rectangles.
Proceed to stitching the two parts of the future rug. In this case, only three sides are sewn. One should remain unstitched as foam rubber will be stuffed there.
Lay down the foam.
Stitch up the edge that is left open.
Fold the handles from the braid and sew them to the bag-mat. It is better to use leftover cotton fabric for this.

Method 3

How about sewing a beach bag with your own hands using a pattern using old jeans? This accessory is not only easy to sew, but also quite interesting. Moreover, items of clothing and accessories made from such material are very stylish, which means the owner of the new item will feel very confident.

To work you will need:

Jeans.
Lining fabric.
Decorative elements that can be used to decorate the finished work.

Now you need to cut out the listed parts:

The beach accessory will consist of two parts - front and back (their dimensions are the same - 49*40).
90*9 - the size of the bottom of the product and its sides.
85*4 - bag handles.

Important! The length and number of handles can be changed at your discretion. You can make one long handle or two shorter ones. The ideal option is three handles, that is, two short and one long.

The 3*60 strip is the part of the product to which the zipper will be sewn.

All that remains is to sew a beach bag with your own hands using a pattern that is already ready. The work algorithm looks like this:

Sew a zipper to the top pieces, then sew them to the back and front pieces.
Fold the fabric for the handles, iron it, and then sew it to the front of the bag.
From the lining fabric, cut out the same pieces that were cut from the base fabric (jeans). Sew the lining and the outer part of the product together.
Sew the remaining parts to the workpiece.
Decorate the finished product with prepared decorative elements. You can sew a pocket from old jeans onto the outside of the bag - it will definitely come in handy when using your beach bag in the future.

A beach bag is one of the most necessary things for a summer vacation on the shore. In order not to buy a finished product in a store, you can sew it yourself - it’s much cheaper and more interesting. Besides, no one else will have a bag like yours. After reading this article, you learned how to make such an accessory correctly.

When preparing for a summer vacation, you can go to the shopping center closest to your home and spend the whole day looking for a great beach bag that would be roomy enough, have strong and reliable handles, and would ideally match the color of your swimsuit and your entire summer look in general... And you still can’t find it... Or you can become a designer for a while, try to bring your creative ideas to life and sew a beautiful and unique bag with your own hands! It's not as difficult as it might seem at first glance. A little imagination and artistic imagination, and now you are the proud owner of a beautiful thing in a single copy. Moreover, this is a rather multifunctional thing: it can also be used as a shopping bag for going to the store or for walking around the city; it will not take up much space in a suitcase and will be quite universal in life. And having decorated satin ribbons, rhinestones, beads or diamond embroidery (more details about such embroidery can be found here: http://hobbion.ru), such a bag can be used for beach parties and romantic walks.

Types of beach bags: shape, material, color

The choice of beach bags is wide and varied - in shape, color, fabric used, decorations, etc.

Form

On the beach, the most comfortable bags are those shaped like a square or rectangle. Models that have internal or external zippered pockets for storing all sorts of small items are very practical.
Some people like classic sack bags - these are soft bags with straps, like a backpack, the top of which is gathered with a drawstring.
Transformable bags are very convenient on the beach. These are essentially rugs or blankets that, if necessary, can be rolled up and fastened with buttons or snaps sewn around the perimeter.
When sewing, you can experiment with models of handles or straps: tailor shops sell interesting wooden, wicker or plastic varieties. Just make sure that they are wide enough and do not cause discomfort when worn.

Material

Nowadays there is a large selection of materials, so you will not have problems choosing fabric for sewing a beach bag, everything is limited only by your desires. An ideal beach bag should be: durable, wear-resistant, roomy, but light, because you need to pack so many useful things into it; waterproof to keep things dry; in form - laconic, the simpler the better, but have a couple of pockets for convenience; and, of course, stylish and beautiful! Any type of raincoat or mixed fabric, canvas, jeans, etc. are suitable. Bags made from oilcloth or modern PVC materials are always noticeable on the beach. They are very attractive, but at the same time practical. You can use so-called eco-friendly materials: burlap, canvas, linen or even straw. You don’t even have to spend money on buying new fabric for sewing; you probably have a couple of unnecessary things that are already out of fashion somewhere on a distant shelf at home - this is also a great alternative!

Color

As for the color of the beach bag, it is better if it is brightly colored: exotic animal or floral prints, ethnic patterns in expressive colors are quite appropriate. The nautical theme will never go out of fashion: blue and white stripes, anchors, boats, rope-shaped strands, etc. - as always, this is a win-win beach option.

The pattern is a rectangle. From the main, lining fabric, as well as thin padding polyester or foam rubber, 3 rectangles are cut out, 90-150 cm long and 50-70 cm wide (dimensions may be different). The rectangles are sewn together along the edge or edged with bias tape. If necessary, the folds of the bag are sewn off. Then handles, pockets, and ties are sewn on the sides. Instead of ties, you can use buttons or a zipper. The simplest bag-mat is ready.

How to make a beach bag from jeans

Now that you already know how to sew a simple basic model of a beach bag, you can get a little creative. If you make a bag from old jeans, you can emphasize your individuality and create a truly signature piece of clothing. Denim is a pretty trendy material right now, so your bag is sure to be stylish and modern. Spend some free time and turn an unnecessary thing into fashion accessory which will help highlight your style.

You can be creative and combine several pairs of jeans of different colors in one bag - sew individual flaps in a random order or create a complex pattern, and then cut out individual parts of the bag from this. Or simply rip the pant legs open and use them as a finished piece of fabric. If you take a closer look at the model of denim trousers, then perhaps they are already decorated with ready-made interesting design elements (pockets, belt, patches, stripes, etc.), with which you can later decorate your product.

Here are a few more types of beach bags that you can easily sew with your own hands using simple patterns (more more ideas you will find in our section):

In any case, no matter what kind of beach bag you get, remember that no one has a second one, especially since “hand made” items are especially popular now. Spend some time in creative leisure and create a unique thing. May your upcoming holiday this year be special, magical and unique. Have a nice holiday and a safe journey!

Now is the holiday season. We are going to swim and sunbathe. Warm sea, lake, river, beach. In addition to swimsuits, sunglasses, and a beach towel, we will need somewhere to put it all - a beach bag.

The question arises - how to sew a beach bag with your own hands from fabric ? In theory, everything is simple here, for some models of bags you don’t even need a pattern - first just fold it in half and sew a rectangular piece of fabric of the desired size.

How to sew a beach bag with your own hands from fabric

Sew the fabric, trim the edges and the top, then stitch across two corners at the bottom of the bag to give it volume.

Well, we still need pens. Optional internal pocket. For the patient ones, a fastener, for example, with a zipper. All.

The fabric handles can be made long so that they can be carried comfortably on the shoulder, or you can add additional short ones (there will be two pairs of handles) so that they can be carried comfortably in your hand. We tuck the currently unnecessary handles inside our beach bag.

The materials can be different; you can use old jeans, canvas, colored fabrics with a printed pattern, even tulle or a mosquito net! The latter is for those who do not carry anything secret in their beach bag, since it turns out to be transparent (see picture below on the right).

A beach bag can be decorated with shells and painted acrylic paints(see picture below left), embroider.

Fabric beach bag pattern

To sew a large beach bag made of fabric with your own hands, you can use the pattern of a bag bag with one-piece (or one-piece?) handles. Change the dimensions as desired - for example, make it wider and shorter. The fastener can be made magnetic, Velcro, or button.

You can sew a leather bag using the same pattern, use, for example, an old jacket or worn trousers - it looks stylish.

If you are using thin fabric, you can sew the lining from the same or a different fabric.

How to lay out a pattern on fabric - there are options here - two separate parts or two together, connect the pattern parts together with the ends of the handles, bottom or side parts, then there will be one less seam.

Here is another version of the package bag, the fundamental difference is that one handle is shorter than the other, the long one is threaded into the short one, carried by one handle. If you make the handle much longer than shown below, then it would be quite nice to carry the bag on your shoulder, you just need to calculate the required length.

Now you know how to sew a fabric beach bag with your own hands. Get to work! While the summer beach season is not over yet.

How to sew a classic beach bag

To make a classic square model with two handles, you need about 1 meter of main material plus the same amount for the lining. You will also need 3-4 m of adhesive material and thread (you can use contrasting ones for stitching). Before sewing a beach bag, you need to look at how the designs and patterns are located on the main fabric in order to combine them or, if the image is large, place them in the center of the sides. A piece of fabric is folded in half, two elements measuring about 50x55 cm and two more - 5x55 are cut off. For the lining you will need three pairs of parts - 50-55 cm, 25-55 cm and 5x55 cm. Each element is strengthened with adhesive.

Progress

Place the front side of the product (made of the main fabric) face up and apply the lining with the wrong side up, retreating to the bottom 20-22 cm and pinning the parts with pins.
Repeat the same procedure on the back side.
Sew the parts on the machine, leaving about 1 centimeter from the edges.
Iron the seams on the right side.
Make decorative contrast stitching along the front side of the parts - at a distance of half a presser foot from the main seam.

For the second half of the product, the sequence of actions is similar. Next, the two resulting elements are pinned together with their faces on the inside and carefully stitched on the sides and bottom at a distance of about 1 centimeter from the edge. The lining parts are also fixed with their front sides facing each other and stitched. The seams need to be ironed both from the face and from the back.

Progress

Turn the fabric out from the corner along the outer part of the product - the side and bottom seams should overlap each other.
Fasten the seams with a pin, draw a line perpendicular to them and emanating from the top - the longer it is, the more voluminous the handbag will be.
Make a stitch along the line, securing at both ends.
Sew the lining in the same way - you need to retreat from the top not 4, but 8 cm.
Cut the corners of the main and lining fabrics, leaving 1 centimeter from the seams.

To make a handle (you will need two of them), you need to combine one part from the lining material and one from the main one. They need to be fastened, stitched along two long sides and one of the short ones (about 7 mm away from the edge). Then the fabric is turned inside out and ironed. You can lay a contrasting decorative stitch along the front side - it is sewn 5 mm from the edges. The lining fabric of the bag is turned right side inward and the handles are inserted into it - the ends should be 15 cm from the sides, and 13-15 cm should be left between the inner ends of the parts.

The fastened main part of the product is placed inside the lining - so that the upper edges are connected evenly. They are first fastened with pins and then sewn along the entire top with an allowance of 1 centimeter. For additional strength, a few more lines are made in the most “vulnerable” places. All that remains is to turn the product inside out through the hole left in the lining and close it. You can also add decorative stitching along the top.

How to sew a bag-mat

“Transformers”, which fold out of the bag into a beach mat, are very convenient. Even if you have little tailoring skills, you can sew it without difficulty.

Necessary materials

Main fabric for the top.
Waterproof backing.
Foam rubber is a layer for softness.
Braid for handles, Velcro for fastening, decor.

The pattern consists of two rectangles of the selected size. You can focus on the “dimensions” of your favorite beach towel.

Progress

Cut out the fabric parts, leaving seam allowances.
Cut out the foam inserts - with the same dimensions, but without allowances.
Place the fabric wrong side up, sew along three sides and finish the seams.
Turn the fabric face out, insert foam rubber and make horizontal stitches along it in increments of 15 cm so that the “cushion” does not move out.
Sew open edge.
Attach handles and Velcro.

Economical denim model

Old jeans are often used to sew beach accessories - this allows you to get a beautiful bag at no extra cost. Denim is a dense fabric that will withstand contact with both water and sand and will serve for a long time. You will also need a light lining material, and, if necessary, padding polyester to add rigidity, as well as a lock (zipper or Velcro). You can use eyelets and stripes as decoration.

Having chosen the pattern you like, transfer the details to the material, leaving standard allowances. The elements are folded face inward, the sides are sewn to the bottom, leaving one side unfastened. You can make darts - the fabric is pinched perpendicular to the seams and the stitching is done on a machine.

Progress

Attach the padding polyester from the wrong side.
Sew the lining.
Turn the accessory face up, attach separately cut pockets, appliqués, and ruffles to it (it can be sewn to the top edge).
Insert a zipper or sew on Velcro.
Connect the lining and the main part of the product.
Attach the handles from the inside - they can also be woven from denim (in the form of a twisted cord).

To make denim bags, fabric is often taken from the trouser legs, and the handle is made from the belt. All that remains is to decorate the product with eyelets or other decor - and the beach accessory is ready.
