Leather is a noble and rather expensive material, work with which can not be easily called. In order not to spoil the cut, it is necessary to know the basic rules of working with this material. In this master class we will tell you how to make from your skin a simple and practical purse that can be worn in a bag, belt or even on your neck. It is not necessary to buy leather at the store. You can use things that have served their own (bootlegs, bags, gloves, etc.). The model is very simple, so even a beginner will be able to sew a fashion accessory. So, we sew the wallet from the skin with our own hands.
We will need:
- leather;
- needle;
- strong threads (can be contrasted color);
- thimble;
- metal button;
- two small rings;
- glue.
- Let's start with the pattern of a purse made of leather. Increase it to the required size, print and cut.
- Transfer the resulting pattern to the underside of the skin, circle the handle and cut, not forgetting to leave a few millimeters of material on the allowances.
- Bend the resulting part in half, and proceed to stitching. Move from the first point A to the second. Sew the side and bottom of the purse. Then repeat the same thing on the other side, sewing the side part between the two points B. To simplify the work, use a thimble.
- When the sides are sewn, turn the product over to the front. On both sides, sew one small metal buckle to the wallet. They are needed in order to attach a handle, with which it will be more convenient to wear an accessory.
- Cut the skin in narrow strips (this will take six of them). Then pass three strips through a metal ring and weave the pigtail. This detail will look more original, if you pick up a skin of different colors. The length of the pens should be determined on your own. Similarly, make a second pen for the purse. To fix the ends, use a regular paper clip.
- Sew a button to the wallet, and thread the handles with one side through the side buckles. The hanging ends of the strips can be cut to the required length, but in this form the accessory looks excellent.
- Our wallet is ready, but if you are a bold girl who is not afraid of experimentation, you can decorate the product with beads, feathers, beads.
If you increase the pattern and lengthen the handle, then the leather wallet will easily replace the small handbag of cross-body, which today are at the height of fashion.
Also, you can sew a beautiful purse from leather.
