Inspired by the interesting ideas crocheted bags, I tied her purse and in this article I want to share with you the lessons learned.

The first thing that bothered me the most - the sewing process. So, not having a particularly practical skills of sewing, I decided to go for the most simple way. She took the old bag, cut that I liked, and ripped it in detail, at the same time, noticing how it is sewn. Details were few - the bottom, identical to each other front and rear blade, handle, lock and lining. Handles well in advance I got ready, lined with all pockets and snaps I decided to fully borrow from the old bags, as all this is preserved in excellent condition. Just off the bag I left the zipper. The result was only two parts - the main part and the bottom of a bag, transfer them to paper and pattern ready.

Knitted bags of the kind of case that we will put on a sewn bag, so that all its parts are the same parts of the bag. We take our patterns and it begin to knit a knitted fabric. My composition consists of circles of different diameter and rings interconnected by bridges. Second, the back part of the bag I knitting already finished on the basis of the front, it circles superimposing and joining them in the same sequence. Firstly, it is much simplifies the task because they do not have to re-lay the entire composition, and eliminates the possibility that the parts are obtained by different in style.

Then proceed to the bottom of knitting. The first bedplate, which I linked, I did not like. It seemed to me that it is not suitable to what I knitted, and I bandaged again. Next, I connected all the items together with small jumpers, distributing them evenly over the entire perimeter of the bottoms and sides. Knitted of the bag is ready.

The next stage - sewing. There my knowledge quite mediocre, so I beg your pardon for the mistakes in terminology. Having defined the material is cut out all the basic details of the bag and sew them together. In order to keep the shape of bag, you can choose the fabric for thicker or use additional "corset" for light fabrics, tabbing them on a tighter basis. The base bag ready, now it needs to be connected to the lining and sew the lock. First, sew the zipper to the fabric strip to her in the future we will sew the bag. Then, the inside of the lining to sew zippers. Before you join the liner and bag down on the perimeter of the bottom fabric sew knitted fabric, knitted together by fixing bedplate with bottomed bags to knit of the bag does not sag or hanging separately from the rest. Then sew the bag together with the lining, incidentally When sewing the handle. We remember that the pens should be thoroughly hold the bag, because they can withstand most of the load. It follows that the fixing points on the one hand pens were distributed strictly mirror relative to the other. If time does not notice the error, it is necessary to alter all anew.

And the final touch - fix the knitted fabric at the top, When sewing it to the bag. Mask the mounting knobs knitted loops.

Done. Here is a knitted bag I got.
