This sewing idea is not only practical but also particularly environmentally friendly. The fabric is impregnated with organic wax pills, so you can use the bag for the break or for other delicacies.
Preparation
In addition to your sewing machine, sewing thread, fabric scissors and sewing needle, you will need an iron and baking paper, as well as the following sewing materials:- 50 x 25 cm cotton fabric blank.
- 50 x 25 cm matching plain cotton fabric cut-out
- beeswax pastilles
- 1 wooden toggle button
- imitation leather strap
Perfect for this idea: pure beeswax pastilles
Fabric impregnation
Spread out a sheet of baking paper on an ironing surface. This should be a few inches larger on all sides than the fabric blanks.For impregnation, place a fabric blank on the baking paper and sprinkle it with beeswax pastilles. Cover everything with another layer of baking paper.
Set your iron to cotton setting. Once heated, place it in the center of the fabric and wait for the wax to start melting. Iron in a circular motion from the center outward, using light pressure, until the wax has melted all over and can no longer be spread. The entire piece of fabric should now be saturated with the wax. If it still has any free spots, sprinkle some pastilles on it again and iron those in too.
Now turn everything over and iron through the baking paper the fabric from that side as well. Remove the fabric from the baking paper while the wax is still liquid.
Do the same with the second piece of fabric.
Sew
Download the motif template and cut the fabrics with its help. Staple the two fabrics exactly on top of each other. Sew them together neatly at the edges.Fold the fabric so that a pocket is formed and that the decorative outer fabric is inside. Stitch everything together. Sew the sides of the bag. Fold the side panels crosswise and sew each corner to form a triangle. Turn the bag inside out.
Tip: "Creases" in the finished oilcloth do not affect the function. However, if they are visually disturbing, simply blow-dry the surface briefly with a hair dryer.
Bag closure
The bag closure consists of a toggle button and a loop of imitation leather tape. Sew both to the bag by hand. The finished bag can be cleaned with lukewarm water. We wish you joy with your new lunch bag.Explained step by step
