How to Make Your Own Patchwork Bags


Patchwork bags and Bohemian bags are the latest trend. You will find these bags featuring in the entire top fashion list.

Patchworks bags are easily available online and are not very expensive. However, if you want to show your creativity, and make your own patch work bag, it is actually a good idea. Lets us see how to make your own patchwork bag:

First, you will need to decide what type of patchwork you would want in your bag and collect the material accordingly.

You will need the following material:

  • Fabric purse in bright color
  • Small fabric pieces in contrast to the purse. For example if your fabric purse is in blue, choose pink, green or red.
  • For decoration, you can choose beads, rhinestones, shells, mirrors and laces.
  • Needles, thread in the matching color, and scissors.

Steps to be followed:
  • Take a silk or cotton fabric, either plain or with small prints such as tie dye design.
  • Cut the fabric in to small pieces of the desired shape. Some of the popular shapes are diamond and squares. Alternatively, if you have some motifs in fabric such as dancing girl, elephant, or any other attractive piece of cloth, you can use it as patch in your bag.
  • Decide where you want to fix all the patches in the bag.
  • Fold the patch from all the sides slightly, to give it an even look. Now, start taking small stitches at the edges. Remember to take the same colored thread as the patch, so that the stitches are not visible.
  • Stitch all the patches all over the purse.
  • Now is the time to start decorating the patchwork purse.
  • The edges of the patch work can be decorated either with laces, rhinestones, beads, shells, mirror etc depending on your choice and availability. You can use a combination of these decorative materials to make your patch work bag look exclusive.
  • You can even stick the beads etc with glue.
