To continue my quest to making things out of used military uniforms, I decided to make a few simple items that one can use everyday. I like going on vacations, when I travel, I take my makeup and toiletries with me. So I decided to make little bags to store my stuff in.
what you will need: used clothing, zipper, lining fabric, bias tape (or u can make your own)
The finished products
Let's see how i made them
i used military pants
cut the legs, from the knees
cut to unfold
cut out a rounded rectangle, cut one of lining
cut four pieces of fabric for the sides
baste the edges, with wrong sides together
baste the edges of the side pieces, wrong side together
sew the side pieces onto the fabric
sew the zipper
then sew the bias tape
i made another one with different side pieces
hope you enjoy this tutorial, please feel free to leave a comment or question

I've never sewn a bag with bias on the outside, but I like the effect. I'm going to try that.
ReplyDeleteu know? i never thought of it that way, i have always liked using bias tape on things coz i like the contrast, but yes for small baggies and zipper pouches i dont see this method too often lol
DeleteWish it was easier I would make one for my son. He has a uniform he no longer wears. I just made a pillow out of the jacket.
