Sewing idea cable bag
Anleitung No. 3034Are you looking for a practical bag for your charging cables, memory cards and spare batteries? You can sew this ingenious cable bag yourself and it has plenty of storage options. Your utensils are neatly and securely stowed away - nothing can get tangled up. Ideal for travelling and for every day!
Pin several strips of elastic (three in this case) horizontally to the right side (good side) of the first cut. Sew them in place by making vertical seams across the elastic bands from one edge of the fabric to the next.
You can vary the distances between the elastic bands and the vertical seams to suit your own requirements: small distances are ideal for batteries or photo sim cards, for example. Larger distances are perfect for attaching charging cables.
Do you need a small inner pocket for a plug? Cut a piece of fabric to 15 x 40 cm. Fold the fabric in half and sew it onto the fabric made with the elastic bands using the zigzag stitch.
Fold the bag into thirds. Stick a piece of velcro strap to the inside outer edge of the cable bag and to the outside of the bag so that the fastener turns the fabric into a handy pouch. If necessary, sew the fastener in place with a few stitches. Finish the edges with a zigzag stitch or another decorative seam. Do not place the fabric completely under the presser foot, but rather in such a way that the needle stitches into the fabric on the left and directly next to the edge of the fabric on the right, i.e. into the void. The zigzag stitch thus encloses the edge of the fabric.
