Bag made from old leather boots

No one will refuse a fashionable clutch or other interesting handbag that can be made using old shoes. Schemes and useful tips that will be useful in mastery follow each model.

Clutch made from old leather boots

If you want a clutch that is not like everyone else’s, then this master class is for you. Very simple, simple and simple again. The simplest pattern that can be made for this product. The most interesting thing is that old boots will suffice even with low shins. Therefore, we look at what we need and, without hesitation, start.

To work you will need:

• old boots (any leather, substitute can be used);
• threads and needles;
• hole punch (you can use a thicker needle instead);
• clasp (small clasp ball);
• carbine.

Stage: pattern

The pattern is two rectangles. Dimensions of the first rectangle:

• width – 12;
• length – 20 cm.

Dimensions of the second rectangle:

• width – 17 (here it’s good to make an uneven edge, such an interesting imitation of negligence);
• length – 20 cm.

Holes for seams

It is necessary to make holes at a distance of 0.5 cm for future seams of the clutch using a hole punch or a suitable needle.

Stitching

Place the pieces together, wrong sides together, for stitching. In order for the seam to be machine-made and very strong, you will need to use the needle-forward technique. But knit this way in the forward and reverse directions.

Setting

Backtack at the end of the stitch. The dimensions of this rectangle are 1.5 cm by 4 cm.

Strap

Cut a strip 20 cm long and 1.5 cm wide for the strap. Secure it with a small seam to the carabiner.

Clasp

All that remains is to work some magic with the most important thing - the clasp. Very simple and durable. Cut a small circle and make slits, sew it to the fabric with even stitches and try to fasten it.

This original clutch was made from simple boots that I really wanted to throw away.

Original small change bag

This wonderful little thing can become an indispensable assistant when going to the store. It is not always convenient to look for small change in a large wallet, in an inconvenient compartment, or even in a huge bag. But this triangle is so cute and so convenient for small items.

To work you will need:

• snap closure;
• a small piece of skin;
• thread and needle.

Pattern

A very simple product has the same simple pattern. Remember from geometry such a figure as a rhombus. We drew it, then divided it in half and added a similar triangle to one of the sides.

The diagram will tell you more. Here is a rhombus and plus a small triangle.

Clasps

It is more convenient to do the fasteners first, then the seams. When using a special device for pressing buttons, we make a fastener at the corners of the triangles.To do this, you need to fold the “added triangle”, as it will be positioned when stitching.

Stitching

It remains to make one short side seam. Fold the additional triangle and sew along its red side.

So the cute little thing is ready and it will now with dignity absorb all the small change that is scattered throughout the bag, wallet and pockets. This little accessory will put everything in order and, first of all, the bad habit of scattering small change.

Clutch with zipper

Very comfortable clutch with a zipper. Even a beginner can handle this model. There is no need to sew in a zipper. You are wondering how to do this - it’s very simple.

To work you will need:

• old boots;
• needles and threads.

Pattern

And here is the first deception. In fact, there are practically no patterns. The thing is that the shank is approximately equal in width to the average clutch size. Without changing anything, we will fasten the boot clasp and cut the length to 20 cm.

Seams

For a more believable product, let’s cut the part opposite the lock. There are only three seams left to complete. Along the long side opposite the zipper and side seams. It is very important that the zipper does not come unfastened during these events and that good and strong seams are made in the places where it passes so that the zipper does not accidentally unfasten.

Decoration

Brush made from a piece of leather. This is a very beautiful and not very complicated product that this clutch will present so beautifully. So, you need to cut out a rectangle with sides of 10 and 5 cm. Measure 1.5 cm and draw a line. Then make cuts on the long side of the line without cutting through the line itself. The distance between the cuts is about 3-4 mm, you can increase or decrease it.

Twist the tassel into a tube and make a side seam. Then thread one strip through the hole and sew it to the side seam, after securing it to the zipper.

This clutch needs a shiny decoration; you can sew a decorative button with sparkles or a small brooch in the lower corner of the clutch. The product is ready. Usually a clutch is not made with a lining, but if desired, you can also sew a lining into the product.

Now no one will throw away their old boots, but will also try to make creative and useful things. Decorate it designerly and you can show off your new model to your friends.
