Fabric Handmade Bags
Fabric Handmade Bags are a great way to show your creativity while also enhancing your look. You can create beautiful and functional bags using fabric and some sewing techniques. To create your own bag, you can use a sewing pattern that comes with step-by-step instructions. Some of the patterns include tips for pressing the fabric so that the seam allowances lie flat and the handles are constructed neatly. You should also know how to press the fabric if the main and lining fabric sits together.
Tajntaub
These handmade bags come with a slew of benefits. Not only do you get to purchase a unique piece of clothing, but you’re also helping preserve local culture. The bags are crafted with love and care in Vietnam. You can buy one for yourself or a loved one, and you’ll be supporting the artisans who create them while supporting local economic development.
Tajntaub is a textile made by the Hmong people of Southeast Asia. Literally, it means “flower cloth.” It became a way for the Hmong to preserve their culture and history. It is most commonly known in the US as “storycloth,” but it’s actually a broad term that covers a range of textile-based work.
The images on Tajntaub bags are often symbolic or representational. The makers of handmade bags strive to come up with unique patterns instead of using traditional patterns. They sew the images onto monk’s cloths or onto a fabric base using an applique technique.

Darbie Stitches Reversible Bag
This beautiful reversible bag is handmade and a wonderful gift. The design is fun, whimsical, and lightweight. Made by a local artist on Etsy, this bag has four unique ways to wear it. It makes a perfect gift for the fashionista in your life.
Designed by Melanie Hurlston, the Little Menagerie collection features colourful, graphic fabrics. It is made of 100% cotton fabrics with 1/4″ seam allowances. Each bag is made from two separate pieces, one for the outer and one for the lining. When the lining bag is finished, turn it right side out and insert it into the outer bag.
To reverse the lining, start by matching the lining straps to the edges of the outer straps. Then, pin the lining straps together. The straps are then reversible. You can use the lining side for personal use or as a gift.
The lining and bag body should match each other on the right sides. Press each pair of sides to align seams. Sew the lining and body together, leaving a 1/4″ seam allowance on each side. Press lightly to create creases. After completing the sewing, the bag is ready to wear.
