Felt bags

Felt has long been used in the creation of various women's accessories. This soft and velvety material makes very interesting and beautiful bags. We will talk about them.

If you like fashionable experiments and are tired of monotonous accessories, then a felt bag will be the perfect solution for you. This product has an original appearance that will attract the interested glances of passers-by on the street.

Felt itself is a very light material, so handbags made from similar raw materials are also lightweight. You will not get tired of such an airy and original little thing even after a long walk.

Today felt is presented in a wide variety of colors. Girls can buy or make with their own hands a thing of any shade.

Unusual handbags can be made by hand. This process shouldn't take too long. If you do not want to waste your time or do not like to sew, then a stylish thing can be bought in the store.

Felt products do not crumble. They do not lose their attractiveness for a long time if they are used carefully and carefully.

Original women's bags also have negative qualities that girls who want to replenish their wardrobe with such things need to know about.

• Dust and dirt will easily sit on such a bag. It is not so easy to clean, and washing the product can lead to shrinkage of the material. You should only wear an accessory if you are sure not to stain it.

• Over time, the felt begins to shaggy. Nothing can be done about this material property.
• Pills may appear on the surface of your favorite handbag from time to time. But this is not such a problem, because today there are special machines for removing such defects.
• A felt bag will not hold its shape.This material is too soft to fold or wrinkle very easily.

Do not think that the felt bag is an exceptionally baggy model of a rough square shape. Experienced craftsmen and various firms today produce stunning pieces, which in their beauty are not inferior to fashionable leather accessories.

Basket bags are often made of felt. These models look very cute and flirty. The baskets have an original shape. They taper towards the bottom, like a regular wicker basket.

On the front of such a bag, various decorative elements can be located. For example, colorful felt flowers or ribbon bows. Such options can soften the feminine image and make it more playful.

Quite good clutches are obtained from a fleecy canvas. With such a detail in the image, you will definitely not be left without the attention of others. Fancy products can be rectangular or square with elongated straps. The straps for these models are made of different materials. Felt clutches can be equipped with chain handles.

These handbags are often complemented with various decorative details. These can be leather or textile flowers, bows or carved felt patterns.

Things decorated with metal elements: buttons, rivets, chains, etc. are distinguished by their excellent appearance. They can even fit into a festive outfit if you choose the right ensemble.

Felt pouches are comfortable and roomy. These bags are more like small pouches with a drawstring at the top. This lace acts as a fastener. Such models are not equipped with any locks, zippers or rivets. Apart from the straps for the wearable and the lace, there are no longer any constituent parts.

As a rule, leather straps are attached to felt products. They are more durable and wear resistant.

Shoulder bags have been in fashion for many years. They will always be relevant and in demand among fashionistas and fashionistas. Such things are made not only from leather or textiles, but also from velvety felt.

They are equipped with external pockets as well as leather straps and handles. Various fasteners and rivets are attached to them. Outwardly, they are in no way inferior to expensive products from more noble materials.

Models with a combination of felt and leather look especially impressive. Leather inserts can be located on external pockets or along the edges of the bag.

Small shoulder bags also look interesting and attractive when complemented with multi-colored leather. They are ideal for casual walks or social gatherings. You can put only the most necessary little things in such bags.

From felt, you can create the most amazing handbags of unusual shapes. For example, it can be a flirty little thing in the form of a cat's face, a berry or a large flower. Felt is a pliable and soft material that allows you to create many interesting things out of it.

Unusual handbags look especially original when decorated with decorative details. These can be volumetric appliques (berries, flowers, insects) or contrasting embroidery.

Some products are complemented by leather tassels, straps and large inserts that cover more than half of the bag's surface. Such combinations look very stylish and fresh. With the help of such a useful little thing, you can revive a girlish image.

Felt bags are decorated with metal elements. Such details make the accessory more solid and expensive.

You can make the bag yourself.

To make a very convenient and functional organizer bag (aka tintamar), we need:

1. Felt;
2. Zipper Closure;
3. Metal fittings: eyelets (part where you can insert the strap);
4. Dense plastic folder for documents;

You will also need a pattern for the front, back and pockets. Don't forget about seam allowances. Add 5-7 mm along the contour of the entire pattern. This is necessary so that the bag does not shrink in size when finished.

First you need to start decorating the pockets. They can be decorated with special thermal transfer pictures. They are sold in many handicraft sewing stores.

After that, you need to sew a zipper of a suitable size into the left pocket.

Then you need to sew the darts of the pocket and sweep it to the front of the future bag and sew. Be careful with the corners.

The second pocket can be flattened. To do this, it is worth laying a decorative reinforcing line on its rounded edge. Next, you need to sweep the pocket for the marking and stitch it. This completes the preparation of the front of the bag.

It's time for the back wall. We attach a plastic folder in the back wall, and grab it with a couple of threads.

Then you need to attach the envelope folder to the material. The stitching around the edge of the plastic pocket is in the shape of an inverted P. In other words, leave the top edge of the envelope open. You end up with a double pocket.

Now you need to sew both sides of the bag together. Open sections of felt can be inlaid, but this is not necessary.

First you need to sew the darts. Then you need to attach the two parts with the front sides to each other and sweep away. You can add eyelets (metal blocks) for the strap.

If all the edges converge, then you can start sewing.

That's all. You should have such an interesting handbag.

If you want, you can add other decorative details to such a product. For example, bows, flowers or knots. It all depends only on your imagination.

Felt can be used to make a charming children's handbag.

For this we need:

• Felt cloth;
• Two pieces of textiles (3.5 x 7 cm);
• Textiles and non-woven fabrics for creating decor;
• Threads for felt and buttonhole stitching;
• Centimeter tape;
• Scissors;
• Blocks (eyelets).

You need to prepare a pattern. A large and elongated rectangular piece needs to be rounded on one side. There will be a valve. The bag is cut out taking into account the seam allowances. You can read about them in the previous master class.

The fold lines must be marked immediately (for example with pins).

The fabric for the applique needs to be strengthened with a fleece fixture and a piece in the shape of a heart for the valve must be cut out of it.

Now you need to bend one side of the rectangular part up and chop off the side cuts. Next, they need to be stitched to a width of about 5 mm. Around the flap, you need to put a beautiful stitching 3 mm wide from the side.

Now you can detach the paper part from the fleece fixture. The resulting applique needs to be ironed and stitched along the contour.

We install the blocks using special pliers, measuring 1 cm from the edge of the valve.

A handbag on a child's shoulder should be comfortable and not very long. It is better to measure the length of the strap, taking into account the height of your daughter. Measure the height of the belt with a centimeter tape, putting it on your shoulder and then you need to see where the bag will hang more conveniently.

Cut out the belt on the fabric (a rectangle of the desired length and width (2 cm)). The part for the long strap must be folded with the right sides inward and the long cuts must be sewn (stitched) to a width of 5 mm. Then turn this structure out and iron it. Then we pass the ends through the eyelets and tie them in knots.

A felt bag always turns out to be original, beautiful and in a single copy. But there should always be room for a wallet in a bag. A small master class of a felt wallet in a detailed video.

What to do with your beloved daughter in your free time? Of course, an interesting thing. Sew an awesome felt handbag with it.It will be possible to put all the necessary little things in it.
