My own guitar bag! Oh yeah, happy 2008.
December 31, 2007
That’s right, I made my own fender guitar bag. Uzi has not seen it and hopefully, he’ll be delighted when he finally does, wherever he is in Manila.
Darn, I miss him.
Well, I made a tutorial for those crafting-inclined souls out there. HAPPY SEWING! PLEASE DO NOT SELL ANY GUITAR BAG THAT YOU END UP MAKING. THANKS.
*UPDATE (Suggested by Renee heehee)
MATERIALS NEEDED: half a meter of thick fabric for the body (i used thick pink canvas for mine); fabric for the lining; fabric in contrasting color for the scratchplate; bias tape; silver-y fabric; buttons; silver thread; grosgrain for the strap; adjuster for the strap.
1. Print a guitar image onto an A4 paper. Trace your image; 2 for the body, 2 for lining, 2 for your scratchplate.
Read the rest of this tutorial HERE.
hey.. how come your bag’s better than mine?!?! huh?!? hehe
hi myam, can you make me a red one of this. suya-on kaayo ko sa? so suya ko ani.
That is so awesome! Good job :)
How nifty!
im going to make a bunch of these and sell them on craigslist haha fuck yuo!
*ho-hum*
Actually if anyone sells them anyplace it should be Myam and she should sell them on etsy.com where they will be appreciated and loved, unlike craigslist which is full of losers trying to sell stolen Sidekicks.
I think the guy above is full of it. Probably doesnt even know how to “make the needle go up and down” on a sewing machine. Hes just being a jerk.
On a lighter note I love this! You did an amazing job and should be super proud! I too have a tut posted (for my wallets Im selling.) If someone wants to make something bad enough they will find a way just like you and I did. You should sell these on Etsy, if mine doesn’t turn out Id definately go buy one from you!
This is an amazing idea and I really thank you for sharing it. I also love that it is a pink guitar bag.

Thank you so much for the tutorial! I cant wait to make one for my sister.
WOW this is awesome!
You rock! I love this bag — makes me wish I was a guitarist instead of a pianist, but I may just make myself one anyway!
This bag is fantastic! It will make a perfect Valentine gift for my niece, a rocker wannabe who collects purses. Many thanks for sharing your tutorial!!
Brilliant! I can’t wait to make one for my daughter!
Es increible este bolso. Se lo haré a mi hija de 12 años para que comience sus clases ¡con ritmo!
Gracias por compartir tu creación.
Cariños!

I think you left out the “materials you will need” list…it would be handy instead of trying to figure out based on the pictures what is needed for this bag…
I am going to try it anyway, I have some scraps of vinyl and wearing a bad-as purse like this will totally flumux my friends perceptions of me as a stuck up prissy!
Love The site…My roommate found it listed on “Whip Up”
I see several things here I want to make…
Thanks so much…went out to wally mart and bought some red rose fabric to line the black vinyl with…I’ll send you a pik..Though I am tweaking the design a bit..Sorry…
Thanks a mil
please try to do something..we can’t see the images of this post.
thanks!
Tsktsk photobucket is trying to make me upgrade by shutting down my pics in my second account. I know for sure that I haven’t exceeded my bandwidth. So sorry for the trouble.
Pics are up now. :)
ehehh, now it’s all right! tnx.

This looks great =D
I’d love to have a go making this. May I ask where you got your themplate? I can’t find one anywhere.
felicitaciones es un estupendo bolso una gran idea para los chicos de la universidad ok.
Hi there, it’s so cool to find someone making things i’d actually like to have a go at making myself. I’m a rather ambitious beginner, as i keep seeing gorgeous clothes and not being able to afford them. I really like the designs at Namaste and Nomads, do you know where I could look to find similar patterns?
Keep groovy, x
Qué creatividad :D!
