As the the football season begins again, Jack will train on the oval at his school, therefore he will need to take his football boots with him to school in his school bag. As I don't want to use plastic bags and the football boots can get really sandy and gunky on the bottom, Yesterday I decided to make him a bag to carry them in, better for the planet and I have made it big enough that it should last him years. They are very easy to make, the finished size is width 30 cm and length 36cm and a draw string either end so you just pull each end to close the bag. They are made from 100% cotton fabric and will be easy to launder when needed. You can also just turn them inside out and give them a shake to remove any sand and grass etc... I have also sewn an embroidered label that I sewed on "Jacks Football Boots". You can see two bags with both the same name as I made one for Jack's friend also called Jack, So Jodie if you are reading this blog post I made one for your Jack to put his football boots into. They would be great for storing so many things, Jack played cricket last year if he plays again I will make him another one for his cricket shoes. It makes them so easy to store, keeps them together and can be hung on the back of a door handle for easy access. I love fabric bags they have so many uses... What else does every one store in their fabric bags !
Oh that's a great idea. Love the label. Used to have a bag, or rather a circle shaped piece of fabric that turned into a bag. It had cord threaded through the edge of it, right around the outside. The kids would play with their lego type blocks or cars on it then when they were finished you put everything in the middle and pulled up the drawstring and it became a bag and all the toys were in one place. I don't know what happened to it, but it was an awesome idea and I've never seen one like it again. Maybe I should think about trying to make one and give it to another mother as a gift.
ReplyDeleteHi Lotti,Thanks for taking the time to post a comment, I love reading peoples comments.. A friend of a friend had one of those circles you are talking about, very good idea especially playing with lego with those tiny blocks...I've heard of people using an old sheet spread on the floor for kids toys etc then when finished playing for the day just pick up the four corners twist and put away until the next day... I was thinking I may have a giveaway to make a personal carry bag with childs name...thought about doing it today but only could be bothered doing the post...
ReplyDeleteMy youngest son played sport and I believe they had lockers. The only time they were brought home was to be laundered or to go to a game on Saturday.Coffee is on.
ReplyDeleteHi Dora, Jack is at primary school they don't have lockers at primary school. And sport here is not associated with the school.
