Self Drafted Lunch Bag

Scroll down for english, please!


Quando se aproximou o aniversário da minha amiga e colega de trabalho não sabia bem o que lhe oferecer. Depois de pensar comecei a bordar um quadro em ponto cruz, cheguei mesmo a terminar o dito, mas não tinha moldura, ou um bastidor com o tamanho adequado. Estávamos em pleno segundo confinamento, assim que me vi sem tempo para encomendar um, sem poder sair para comprar. Coloquei então a peça de lado para outra altura e comecei a pensar noutra coisa. 

When my friend and co-worker birthday came close, I really didn't know what to get her. After some thinking I started with a cross stitched project, I even finished the whole thing, but I had no frame or decent sized hoop to gift it to her. We were in the middle of the second lockdown here in Portugal, I didn't have enough time to order some, nor go out and buy it because everything was shut down. So I set it aside for maybe another time and started thinking of another project. 


E assim, lembrei-me de recriar um saco que costumo usar como lancheira. É na verdade um saco de um plástico bem rijo que veio do veterinário com medicação para o meu gato. Embora seja um saco publicitário, adoro o modelo e o fato de fechar com uma mola. E como se aguenta tão bem de pé, gosto muito de o usar para levar o meu lanche diariamente. A D. uma vez mencionou que também o achava bastante prático também. 

And somehow, I came with the idea of recreating a bag that I use as my lunch bag. It is actually a very stiff plastic bag that I got with one of my cat's medicine at the vet. Although it has some pet publicity on it, I love the design and the snap closure. Also, because it stands so well on its own, I love to use it as my lunch bag everyday. D. once mentioned she thought it was pretty handy too. 


Andava com a ideia de recriar o saco em mente há algum tempo, pois queria fazer um para mim num tecido jeitoso ao invés da publicidade do meu atual. Acabei or fazer um para a D. primeiro. Usei um tecido grosso de decoração para que o saco ficasse mais rijo e se aguentasse bem. 

The idea of recreating the bag was in my mind for a while actually, I wanted to make myself one in a pretty fabric instead of the publicity in it. Turns out I made one for D. first. I used upholstery fabrics for the bag to make it as stiffer as possible and it holds pretty well. 


Desenhei o molde a partir do saco existente e correu muito bem. O viés que usei para terminar as pegas é que não ficou tanto assim, principalmente no interior, não ficaram nada como eu teria querido. Para o próximo vou ver se faço a construção do mesmo de forma diferente, porque, sim, vai haver uma próxima vez, já que continuo a querer um para mim também. 

I drafted the pattern out of that existing one and it worked pretty well. The bias I added to finish the handles didn't go so well, especially on the inside it doesn't look as pretty as I would have liked. I might make the construction a little different next time, because yes, there will be a next time, I still want one for myself, that is for sure.

  1. Ficou giro ! Para o próximo já vais conseguir contornar isso, mas o viés e sempre tramado quando aplicado em redondo, ainda pra mais tão fechado. Um viés com elasticidade? Beijinhos 😚
