DIY: hippy bag

Handmade bag

Bags are a must-have accessory for girls whether to go out to party, to go to school, to the beach or routinely to carry everything a woman needs such as a purse, a lipstick or a personal agenda.

This bag has a quite hippy design since it is made with hippy pants that are already a bit old and worn. Thus, we take advantage of it to make a very nice bag with a different touch those that are commonly seen.

Materials

Handmade bag

  • Wide skirt made of old fabric.
  • Needle.
  • Hilo.
  • Pins.
  • Button.
  • Lanyard from an old bag.
  • Top flap of an old bag.

Our Process

First, we will take the lower leg, that is, from the ankle upwards to make it much easier and simpler. We will measure according to the bag we want to get, we will take with pins and we will cut leaving a margin of 1 cm.

Then we will sew a small hem all the way down and, later, we will sew on top to close the lower part of this bag.

Next, with two long strips we will sew the bag handles. We fold both sides inwards and then overlap them by sewing to maintain a fine and well-sewn handle. We will sew these on the back of the bag.

Then, in the top part we will sew another small hem introducing the rope into it with which the bag will be closed.

Finally, we will sew the flap at the back making a small hem and also the button as an ornament.
