(Eng-Esp) Eco-friendly, useful and practical back-to-school pencil case. Cartuchera ecológica, útil y práctica, para el regreso a clases.

Greetings to my friends from the Hive Diy creative hive, at the beginning of the new school year, with completely face-to-face classes in my country, I wanted to make a hand-sewn cartridge belt with scraps of fabric, it is a useful, practical and quite economical, and in my opinion more durable than plastic ones since they deteriorate quickly with use.

Materials

✓ 20 cm closure
✓ Scraps of dark blue and light blue jeans fabric
✓ Scraps of orange fabric
✓ Printed fabric scraps
✓ Thread and needle
✓ Tape measure
✓ Scissor

Step by Step

Jeans fabric is very versatile, so I decided to use it in this school bag. For the front, cut 2 squares of dark jean 7x7 centimeters, and 1 rectangle of orange 9x7 centimeters, for the bottom, a piece of light blue jean 20x10 centimeters. It is important to point out that, for all the measurements, I have already considered the centimeter of seam.

Sew by hand, to form a single piece, joining the dark squares on each side of the orange fabric rectangle. This piece is ready, so I sewed the rectangle of light fabric to form the front of the holster.

For the back I cut a piece of orange fabric 20x6 cm and a piece of light blue jeans 8x20 cm, I sewed them by hand and then attached it to the front. Thus obtaining a unique piece.

I extend the single piece of the holster, and with the printed fabric I take the measurement for the lining. I cut the piece of the lining and thus I have the internal and external pieces of the holster. I take advantage and cut a strip of orange color of 7x3 cm I sew it and this will be the pendant of the holster.

It's time to assemble the holster, sew the zipper and the lining. For friends who are already experts at sewing closures, this is very simple, but for me it is still a bit complicated, but I don't stop, if it doesn't work out the first time, I correct it and continue. This step is two simultaneous moments, I extend the fabric on the right side of the outer fabric, I place the zipper on the wrong side, so that the upper end is dotted with that of the outer fabric and that is when I place the fabric of the lining with the wrong side facing up. I fix with some pins and proceed to sew by hand.

To sew the other end of the zipper, I place the fabric in the same position, but I fold each one to each side of the zipper side, the fabrics take the shape of a bag and I fix with pins, I open the zipper and sew this part of the zipper. closing.

I keep the holster as it was, I fold it in half, I place the half-folded handle 2.5 centimeters from the closure and
towards the inside, I fix the sides and the handle with pins to then sew, I cut the excess of the closure and finish off well at each end with a needle and thread.

Once the pencil case is sewn on both sides, I turn it over and the school pencil case is ready, to give to my daughter for the beginning of this new school year.

I hope you liked this idea, it is useful, practical and ecological, ideal to make at home with a few scraps of fabric, and adjust them to the size and design of our preference.

Saludos a mis amigos de la colmena creativa Hive Diy, en el comienzo del nuevo año escolar, con clases completamente presenciales en mi país, he querido hacer una cartuchera, cosida a mano, con retazos de tela, es una idea útil, práctica y bastante económica, y a mi parecer más duradera que las plásticas ya que estás se deterioran rápidamente con el uso.

Materiales

✓ Cierre de 20 cm
✓ Retazos de tela de jeans azul oscuro y azul claro
✓ Retazos de tela color naranja
✓ Retazos de tela estampada
✓ Hilo y aguja
✓ Cinta métrica
✓ Tijera

Paso a paso

La tela de jeans es muy versátil, por ello decidí usarla en esta cartuchera escolar. Para la parte frontal, corte 2 cuadrados de tela de jeans oscuro de 7x7 centímetros, y 1 rectángulo de color naranja de 9x7 centímetros, para la parte inferior, una pieza de jeans azul claro de 20x 10 centímetro. Es importarte señalar que, para todas las medidas ya he considerado el centímetro de costura.

Cosi a mano, para formar una sola pieza, uniendo los cuadrados oscuros a cada lado del rectángulo de tela naranja. Lista está pieza, entonces cosi el rectángulo de tela clara para formar el frente de la cartuchera.

Para la parte posterior corte un retazo de tela naranja de 20x6 cm y un retazo de jeans claro de 8x20 cm, los cosi a mano y luego lo uni a la parte delantera. Obteniendo así una pieza única.

Extiendo la pieza única de la cartuchera, y con la tela estampada tomo la medida para el forro. Corto la pieza del forro y así tengo la piezas interna y externa de la cartuchera. Aprovecho y corto una tira de color naranja de 7x3 cm lo cosi y este será el colgante de la cartuchera.

Es el momento de ensamblar la cartuchera, coser el cierre y el forro. Para las amigas que ya son expertas cosiendo cierres esto es muy sencillo, pero para mí todavía es un poco complicado, pero no me detengo, si no me sale a la primera corrijo y continuo. Este paso, son dos momentos simultáneos, extiendo la tela por la partes derecha de la tela del exterior, coloco el cierre por la parte al revés, que quede punteando con el extremo superior con el de la tela externa y es entonces cuando coloco la tela del forro con la parte al revés hacia arriba. Fijo con unos alfileres y procedo a coser a mano.

Para coser el otro extremo del cierre, coloco la tela en la misma posición, pero cada una la doblo hacia cada cara del lado del cierre, las telas toman la forma de un bolso y fijo con alfileres, abro el cierre y coso está parte del cierre.

Mantengo la cartuchera como quedó, doblo a la mitad coloco el asa doblada a la mitad a 2,5 centímetros del cierre y
hacia la parte de adentro, fijo los lados y el asa con alfileres para después coser, corto el excedente del cierre y remato bien a cada extremo con hilo y aguja.

Ya cosida la cartuchera por ambos lados doy vuelta y ya está lista la cartuchera escolar, para regalar a mi hija por su inicio a este nuevo año escolar.

Espero que les haya gustado está idea, es útil, práctica y ecológica, ideal para hacer en casa con pocos retazos de tela, y ajustarlos al tamaño y diseño de nuestra preferencia.
