They are distinguished by the architectural thoughtfulness of each element. If you like Japanese handbags, we suggest you make the first Japanese-style handbag for your collection. We will help you with this. On the Internet you can also find various photos and patterns of products with which you can make unique gizmos.
Features of bags from Japanese magazines
Pay attention to the bags made in Japanese style. These are unique accessories that will definitely attract attention. They are so bright, catchy, cozy, and most importantly, it’s unlikely that any of your girlfriends or acquaintances will have such an accessory.
With the help of a master class, you can understand the details of making a bag, of which, by the way, there are many. Patterns can be found on the pages of Japanese needlework magazines.
I would also like to add that such handbags are incredibly popular now. It is this accessory that shows how modern and stylish hand ironing can be.
Several features:
- adding embroidery and knitted details;
- a large number of decorations, beads, rhinestones, borders, ribbons and so on;
- massive parts;
- even if the handbag itself is quite colorful, its diversity is ordered.
- In addition, handbags in Japanese style are distinguished by a variety of shapes.
How to make a bag from Japanese magazines with your own hands: pattern and description
To complete such a bag you will need several hours, it all depends on how well and quickly you sew.
Necessary materials for work:
- cotton fabric;
- acrylic paints;
- stamps;
- wood stamp.
You can buy all this at any craft store.
We suggest you make a bean bag, which differs in that it has two handles, but both are of different sizes. The small handle fits into the larger one and makes a great sack-shaped walking bag.
First you need to make a pattern on paper. We use old Whatman paper or wallpaper.
After this, we begin to cut out the round bottom of the bag.
After this, we begin to cut out the details from the canvas itself. In our example, we use dark blue material as the base and striped material for the inside of the bag. 
You can make such a handbag double-sided.
Note! When cutting out elements, you do not need to make a seam allowance.
After this, we begin to make prints on the product. In our case, this is a print with the image of cats. For the drawing we will need good quality acrylic paint.After this, we iron our workpiece a little so that after it we can safely wash it and not be afraid that our cats will “wash off”, leaving behind stains.
The blanks are ready, now you can proceed to stitching. First we determine which side we will have the handle on. After this, we make a cut in the long handle. Next, we begin to sew the bottom and side parts of our bag. We fold the blanks right side out, and then begin to sew. After that we sew on the handles. All that remains is to iron the bucket bag.
After that, you can thread the long handle through the loop and go for a walk around the city.
Reference! This handbag can be made a little smaller, then it will be in the form of a clutch. This accessory will be an excellent option for a summer walk, where you can place all your essentials.
Decor and decorations for Japanese bags
If you have noticed, Japanese handbags are distinguished by their brightness and a lot of decor.
You can decorate a Japanese handbag using:
- fur pom-poms;
- rhinestones, beads, sequins;
- embroidery;
- massive brooches;
- fabric appliqués;
- knitted decorative elements.
As you can see, making a Japanese-style handbag using a master class is not difficult even for a novice needlewoman. I wish you creative success!
