Fabric bag sewing for beginners
If you want to sew a fabric bag and make it simple & easy, a suitable sewing kit is perfect for you. Due to the straight shape and the few compartments, a fabric bag is a good start for sewing beginners. But that does not mean that sewing professionals can not also have fun with it. Because the shape is relatively simple, there's plenty of room to get creative with the design and incorporate other techniques when sewing fabric bags. For the basic structure, in addition to the sewing machine, you will need fabric scraps or a new fabric of your choice, thread, pins, fabric scissors, something to mark with and a tape measure. For marking, you usually use tailor's chalk. If you don't have it at home, it's not a problem, even a pencil will do for light-colored fabric. The usual dimensions are 40 × 40 cm. When sewing, however, about 2 cm seam allowance should be added to each side.
Especially when sewing fabric bags, fabric can be wonderfully upcycled. From old make new! Do you still have fabric scraps or perhaps old bed sheets or t-shirts, then create a new work of art from them. With our sewing instructions, we show you how it works exactly. Have fun being creative!

Sewing cloth bags instead of buying cloth bags: self-made vs. mass-produced
Sewing cloth bags instead of buying a cloth bag is not only more individual, but also much better for the environment. Even though cloth bags are generally a good substitute to disposable plastic or paper bags, many forget that these are also mostly made in factories abroad under poor conditions. Waste of resources, long transport routes and inhumane working conditions are just some of the keywords that make the self-sewn fabric bag the better alternative. Here you decide yourself which fabrics you use. In our online store proud2craft, we have sewing instructions for you, so you can sew your own fabric bag easily. In addition, you will find all the accessories that you need for it. For sophisticated designs, we also sell sewing kits that contain all this bundled together. So what are you waiting for? Sew your own fabric bag and you'll never have to buy a bag at the supermarket again!
