Coudre un sac à main facile à faire - Tuto Couture Madalena

Introduction

This tutorial will guide you through the process of sewing an easy and stylish handbag, as demonstrated in the Madalena Couture video. Whether you're a beginner or looking to refine your sewing skills, this step-by-step guide will help you create a practical accessory.

Step 1: Gather Your Materials

Before you start sewing, make sure you have the following materials ready:

• 2 fabric pieces measuring 45 x 32 cm (one for the main fabric and one for the lining)
• 2 fabric strips measuring 40 x 4.5 cm
• 1 zipper measuring 35 cm
• 130 cm of strap material
• 12 cm of strap material
• 1 strap regulator
• 1 additional strap piece without a regulator
• Fusible interfacing for the main fabric (suggested: Manta R1 or Vlieseline H640)

Practical Tip

Choose fabrics that complement each other for a stylish look. Cotton is often a good choice for beginners.

Step 2: Cut Your Fabric

Carefully cut your fabric according to the measurements provided. Ensure precision for a polished finish.

Common Pitfalls

• Double-check your measurements before cutting to avoid wasting fabric.
• Use sharp scissors or a rotary cutter for clean edges.

Step 3: Prepare the Zipper

1. Align the Zipper: Place the zipper between the two 40 x 4.5 cm fabric strips, ensuring the right sides are facing each other.
2. Sew: Using a sewing machine, sew along the edge of the zipper.

Practical Tip

Use a zipper foot to make this step easier and achieve a neat finish.

Step 4: Attach the Main Fabric

1. Position: Place the main fabric piece on top of the zipper setup.
2. Pin: Secure everything in place with pins.
3. Sew: Stitch along the edge, attaching the main fabric to the zipper.

Common Pitfalls

• Avoid pulling the fabric while sewing, as it can cause puckering.

Step 5: Create the Bag Structure

1. Fold: Fold the fabric in half, ensuring right sides are together.
2. Sew the Sides: Sew along the sides of the bag, leaving the top open.
3. Box the Corners: To give your bag depth, box the corners by folding them and stitching across.

Practical Tip

Use a ruler to measure how much to box the corners for a consistent look.

Step 6: Add the Strap

1. Prepare the Strap: Take the 130 cm strap and attach it to both sides of the bag, ensuring it is securely sewn.
2. Adjust: Use the strap regulator to adjust the strap length as needed.

Common Pitfalls

• Ensure the strap is attached firmly to support the weight of the bag.

Step 7: Final Touches

1. Turn the Bag Inside Out: Carefully pull the bag through the opening to reveal the right side.
2. Press: Use an iron to press the seams for a crisp finish.
3. Final Inspection: Check all seams and the zipper functionality to ensure everything is in place.

Conclusion
