To sew a cosmetic bag with a zipper lining, you need just a little patience, basic skills in working with a sewing machine and imagination. Even a novice craftswoman can cope with this. In this article we will talk about the features of such work.
How to sew a cosmetic bag with a lining and a zipper
The work algorithm is as follows: first you need to prepare materials and tools, make a pattern and only after that start sewing. Some will say that this is very long and laborious. Of course, you can do it simpler, with virtually no preparation: choose the first fabric that comes to hand, cut it “by eye,” but what will the result be? Most likely, deplorable. If you want to sew a beautiful and comfortable cosmetic bag, we recommend that you approach each stage of the work responsibly.
What you will need
First, let's decide on the tools. You need to prepare:
- sewing machine;
- scissors;
- ruler and pencil for fabric;
- threads and needles (for handwork, to make basting, and for a sewing machine);
- zipper 24 cm long.
Separately, it is necessary to say about the material. A cosmetic bag is almost a home accessory; we rarely show it to anyone. Does this mean that you can take any fabric? Not at all. The material should be dense (both for the top and for the lining). It is desirable that it washes well, does not fade and does not collect dust. Cotton is perfect (a little thicker for the top, thinner for the lining).
A cosmetic bag decorated with rhinestones or sequins looks beautiful. Girls especially love such jewelry. You can make a pattern of sequins or sew them in a chaotic manner.
An excellent solution is embroidery. A cosmetic bag with hand-embroidered flowers or patterns looks luxurious.
