A cosmetic bag is an indispensable item for every girl. Some ladies use it not only for storing cosmetics. It’s convenient to put your keys and phone in a small handbag if you go for a walk for a while. This is a decorative element that must be of high quality and functional. Modern manufacturers offer a large selection of products of various colors and sizes. However, most of them are of poor quality, are not the right size, or are too expensive. A denim cosmetic bag is rarely seen in store windows, although many ladies would prefer it to many other options. Therefore, a great way out of the situation is to sew a cosmetic bag from jeans yourself and make the desired decor.

To make a handbag using an easy method you will need:

• Denim material. The size depends on the desired size of the bag.
• Magnetic button.
• Lining fabric.
• Scissors, needle, thread.

Initially, a pattern is built. For the front and back sides, draw two rectangles on the material from the wrong side. Carefully cut them out and draw similar shapes on the lining. We also cut it out. We sew the denim material together, making the seams inside. We connect the lining fabric with the seams facing out. We insert the lining into the outer part of the cosmetic bag.

Cut two strips two centimeters wide from the denim material. The length is equal to the width of the rectangle.We sew the upper edges of the product, connecting the lining to the jeans. Let's move on to the clasp. It is necessary to cut a hole in the front part, five centimeters from the edge, and sew in a magnetic button. Make a strap on the back side and insert the second part of the button.

How to sew a cosmetic bag from jeans with your own hands - an exclusive denim cosmetic bag

The first step before sewing is making a pattern. You can make it yourself or find it on the Internet and print it. To get started you will need:

• Prepare denim material from unnecessary pants, skirt or sundress.
• Select the snake size.
• Select decoration elements.
• Prepare lining material.

Jeans are dense, so the lining should be soft enough. From old jeans we cut off a piece of the leg from twenty to thirty centimeters long. You should choose that part of the trouser leg whose width is at least fifteen centimeters. In order not to make a mistake, draw the desired size of the product on paper, apply it to the trousers and select the area with a ruler. Modern pants may be tapered; if you remove the factory seams, there may not be enough material. It is advisable to take measurements without taking into account seams.

We cut out the parts of the cosmetic bag - two each from the main and lining material. Sew on the zipper. For this:

• We apply the snake with the front side to the outer, front part of the fabric. We baste it and proceed identically with the back of the product.
• If the size of the snake is suitable, we sew it on or attach it with a machine. When sewing by hand, satin stitch is used, when sewing by machine, zigzag is used.
• Before working on the machine, the snake is unfastened and both parts of the product are worked out. Only the outer part is stitched, without the lining.
• We turn the bag inside out, sew the product together along the edges, and turn it inside out again. We get a ready-made bag for cosmetics.
• We make the lining. We connect parts of lining fabric of the same size with seams along three edges. The seam runs along the inside of the pocket.
• We put the piece in a denim cover, sew up the unstitched edges, and sew the lining on the inside.
• For decoration we use patterns of rhinestones of various colors and complement them with bright buttons. The product on the snake is ready.

How to make a wallet out of jeans with your own hands

You can also sew a denim wallet with your own hands from old clothes. To do this you will need needles, thread and scissors. The product will be decorated with a printed applique in the shape of a heart and decorative stitching. To sew a wallet we will prepare:

1. Binding for covering the edge.
2. Button as a clasp.
3. Half a meter of fine mesh for the inner pocket.
4. A pair of old jeans.
5. A little cotton wool or padding polyester to fill the heart.
6. Red striped fabric for applique and inner pocket.
7. Lined fabric.

Before working with old trousers, they need to be ripped apart at the seams. This will make it clear how much material is available. The pattern shape is semicircular. We cut out two parts along it, and sew binding along the upper edge of both. We connect the parts of the product by sewing half a snake onto each. We make two seams along the bottom and top edges of the binding. Let's start decorating. Using regular light threads of any color, we make seams along the front side. Here you can show your imagination and draw various patterns, stripes or shapes. Further:

• We take the red material, cut out the heart of the desired size and sew it on the front side along the edges. To fill it with padding polyester, leave a small gap. A voluminous heart will look more beautiful.
• We decorate it with adhesive rhinestones along the contour.
• To make the internal pockets, you need to cut out four parts from mesh and red fabric. The size is identical to the front elements. We immediately process the edges using binding.
• The inside of the product will have a push-button clasp. We make 4 parts of the fastener from jeans - two will cover the button at the back, the rest will hold and cover the front. We connect the element with a seam from the inside and turn it inside out.
• We sew a button onto each fastener.
• We connect the inner pockets with the main part and the clasp. The denim wallet is ready.
