Cycle chic - czyli jak zrobic torbe na rower Today szafiarski another non-entry, but promises that by the end of the long weekend will be the new style, because I've bought a few things that I want to show you:)
But today, some DIY or how to make a bag on the bike (more precisely on the steering wheel.) The impetus for the implementation of the bag is the fact that at the end of May is SAPU show in which I participate as a designer (and not the model: P) and the theme is "fashion cycle".
collection will surely show them off in a blog post, and now the instructions are:)
need a rectangular piece of wool, virtually any size, had about my 36x56 cm. Obviously, the higher the coupon, the greater fabric bag:)
also need:
- two strips of wool length about 16 cm wide and about 6-7 cm.
- three buttons (I chose a big yellow plastic buttons at the bottom of pages)
- felt leaves to decorate the bags - I cut them from the popular felt pads on the table, it was just a large roses and leaves mela
- sewing machine, needle and thread (for the implementation of some elements by hand)
We coupon wool (large), roll up all the edges, so as not strzępiły the same thing we do with wool strips. I sewed strips in such a way as shown below. The bag must be sewn to a piece of cloth was on the tailgate. The part that is not a flap should have after closing from 1923 to 1924 cm in height.
wanted the middle of the flap around the holes have metal rivets, but gave up after a long and fierce battle with the device for riveting, which has decided to rebel. And that the holes had been punched, obszyłam it will simply yellow thread (of course if you prefer a more neutral version you can trim gray). I decided to make a loop fastening woven strap, which was formed underneath the end of the knots.
the back in both ear holes and also did obszyłam them manually, this time with gray thread (as you can see, I have no function in the machine buttonholes;)). Detachable straps will be used to hang the bag on the handlebars.
put together at the end of the leaves on the bag in the way I liked, of course, you can choose other shapes than the leaves and arrange them differently.
at the end to secure the leaves I used glue to all surfaces Hi Tack (sold allegro), alternatively you can use the Magic Glue or just sew leaves.
bag must be followed for some time to dry, because as far as the glue quickly grabs a long dry unfortunately. Ready bag looks like.
Enjoy your cycling season!
