Leather self-clutcher

Everyone knows what inconvenience the keys deliver,in a bag or pocket. The key can get lost at the bottom of the reticule, tear the fabric and be under the lining. Wearing it in trousers, there are all chances to lose it on the street. Solve this problem will help the housekeeper from the skin, used to store a whole bunch of different keys. In addition, this case will be a stylish accessory, complementing your image.

Key case with zipper

To sew a cover for keys independently it is simple andfast. Consider the option of sewing, in which the housekeeper from the skin will be fastened to the lock. To do this, prepare a piece of skin. It can be artificial, and it is possible to cut out natural from the boot of old boots or bags. Still need a cotton cloth for lining, a lightning 17-18 cm and a carbine.

Before you cut out the cover, you need to measurethe longest key in a bunch. Next, give an approximate value, you are guided by its size. From the skin, we cut out a square piece with sides of 16 cm. We prepare a 16 by 19 cm piece from the backing fabric.

To sew a zipper, put in front of a leatherpart inverted down, put a zipper face to the square and lining fabric (19 cm), the wrong side up, connecting the top slices of all the parts. The lining after the stitching should protrude by 1.5 cm for both edges. Then connect the lower sections of the skin and fabric with the second part of the zipper and sew.

We turn out the future case and lay itline in the edge, tucking the skin into the zipper from the front. Next, you need to place the detail in front of you so that the leather side is inside, and the zipper is in the middle of the part. Straighten the open sections, stepping back from the edge of 2 cm, slightly unbuttoned zipper.

To the strap for the keys we attach the carbine andwe have it in the case next to the lightning. The allowances from both sides are bent and stretched, grasping the strap. We turn out and admire - the housekeeper is made of leather with his own hands!

Baby wallets

Children - persons scattered, often lose their hats,gloves, forget the umbrellas and second shoes on the benches, and the keys are no exception. A child, as well as an adult, can help a housekeeper out of leather. Children's case can be sewn in the form of a little animal. It can be an owl, cat or other animal. Create a pattern and cut out of the skin two parts, corresponding to the size of the keys. On that part where the muzzle will be, it is possible to sew eyes, cheeks, if it is a bird, then a beak. Sew the parts manually from both sides, leaving holes from above between the lugs for the leash and from below to enter the keys. Leash, passing through the ring from a bunch of keys, fold in half and stretch the ends from the inside to the top hole. The tips can be sewn and decorated with a bead or a button of a larger size than the hole. The principle of operation is as follows: tighten the tongue - the keys are hidden in the pocket, let go of it and lightly press on the seams of the cheholchika - they pop out into the palm of your hand. Below is a pattern of the housekeeper from the skin with the image of an owl.

Original box-bag

Let's consider one more variant of the housekeeper fromnatural leather in the form of a bag. To do this, you need a small remainder of the skin, from which you need to cut a circle with a radius equal to the length of your key. A good piece is one whose edges do not require treatment. Then the bag will be soft and without superfluous rough seams. A segment can be taken with the old leather jacket, jacket or boots.

Baulchik - the easiest way to create a coverfor keys. Along the perimeter of the circle, pierce several holes with an awl at an equal distance from each other. Then thread the lace from the skin into the holes so that the two ends meet in the adjacent holes and come out. If the cord is wetted with hot water and stretched, the share edges will be wrapped up wonderfully, and they will not have to be processed. Cutting a long cord, the bag can be put on the child's neck. A bunch of keys can be hung on a string, passing it through the ring inside the cover. The approximate length of a short lace can be equal to half the size of a circle. For decorations, the holes can be treated with eyelets, apply the applique to the cheholchik.

Extended housekeeper

Here is an example of how to sew a housekeeper from the skin fornon-standard keys of large size. These can be keys to the garage, barn locks or storage facilities. The case is elongated, braided manually, the tab on the button. To make it, you will need: scissors, a punch or an awl, a ruler, a pencil, a button with a magnet, a cut of the skin.

Measuring the keys to the width of the ligament and the length of thelarge key, create a pattern. Fold a piece of leather in half, the front side inward. Strap is a single piece folded in half. Therefore, from the bend draw half the strap, the size corresponding to the length of the cover. The ends of the leash can be cut in the shape of a diamond - for sewing a button. Next, cut out the base of two identical parts, rounding the bottom of the cover. To strengthen the button on the case, you can additionally prepare a diamond from the skin, which with an already installed button is glued to the outside of the housekeeper. The second part from the button is attached to one part of the strap, then fold it in half, beforehand passing through the ring. We glue both parts. For the decor, we sew the tongue around the perimeter by hand. After drying, make holes from the sides of the cover and weave the braid, placing the strap inside the product.

How to make a braid

Braided housekeeper from leather, with their own handsmade, looks more original and original, which gives it personality and creativity. But not many people know how to make a beautiful leather cord for a braid.

The cord is long enough and in size more thantwo times the length of the braided part of the part. It is not always possible to find a suitable piece of skin. There is an easy way to get a long cord from a small piece. To do this, draw and cut out a circle with a diameter of 8 cm. Then, in a spiral, keeping the width of 3 mm and moving to the very center, we cut out a string with a length of at least 2 meters. The resulting thread will be uneven. To straighten the bends, you need to hold it in hot water and wrap it around the bottle. The cord will stretch and after drying will lose its curvature.

Standard key case

This housekeeper is sewn from one detail andan additional part to strengthen the carbines. After measuring a bunch of keys, we cut out a piece of leather from the skin with a width that is three times larger, and a length equal to the key +1 cm for free placement. The second part for the key holders should be reduced in width by 1 cm, the length will match the size of the carabiner base. To install a metal part, you need rivets. In the store, selling fittings, they are called holniteny. The housekeeper is fastened with two buttons.

On the wrong side of the main part, we findmiddle and have at the top cut the lining part and holders. Rivets and buttons on the valves can be installed by yourself, but you can contact the clothing repair department.

Having small sewing skills, you quickly create housekeepers of different types and for each member of the family.
