DIY skate bag

The skates have a non-standard shape, so they are difficult to fit into a regular backpack or bag. If you don’t want to spend money on a special bag-case for skates, or just decided to test your sewing skills, then we suggest sewing it yourself.

What should a skate bag be like?

She must have the following qualities:

• Strength. This is the main indicator. It concerns both the material itself and the quality of tailoring.
• Form. The cover must match the shape of the skates.
• Ease of use. To do this, there must be a long adjustable strap and pockets.

Since you are going to sew a special cover for skates, the main requirement is comfort. It should be convenient to use; to do this, select additional parameters yourself: color, decoration, etc.

On a note! If a bag for skates is being prepared for going to training, then it is better to make it without unnecessary decorations, since this item will be used often.

How to sew a bag for skates with your own hands

You can also buy it.However, not in every city you can find this item in new condition, and it is better not to take a used one for reasons of personal hygiene. Even if the bag is washed, it may contain various bacteria and fungal spores. The likelihood of contracting any disease is low, but it’s not worth the risk.

Also, individual tailoring ensures that the size of the case and belt itself will exactly suit you.

What material will be needed for sewing

Based on the presented requirements, we select the fabric. It can be seen that not every material can be suitable for sewing. The first criterion that it must have is strength. These types include:

• polyester;
• leather;
• awning material.

Sewing from leather is expensive, but from tent it is quite difficult. This material is used to reinforce the bottom of the product. The most common option for sewing sports bags and backpacks is polyester. It has all the necessary characteristics and is available for sale.

Important! Polyester is available in different strengths, choose a density of 600D.

Skate bag pattern

To sew, you first need to make a pattern. It consists of the following parts:

• side panels: 2 pcs.;
• rear end;
• front end;
• bottom.

The easiest way is to use the proposed sample and redraw it. But be guided by your own measurements when making a pattern. Dimensions depend on the dimensions of the skates. You can identify them by tracing the outline of the skate on paper and measuring the length and width in different places.
