This venture began with a bag that I found snagged around a pole on the corner of campus as I cycled into work one very, very windy day. It was initially the storage bag for somebody’s camp chair so it was a protracted and thin bag. Because it was fabricated from light-weight, washable, ripstop out of doors material I believed it’d discover a helpful second life corralling the chances and ends of our camp kitchen. The tin mugs, tablecloth, spatula, plates, and so forth.
It proved too lengthy and slender to be actually handy for this goal, what being designed for a chair and all. (Go determine!) Ever the concept man, Matt prompt slicing it in half to make two smaller-but-more-functional bags–a suggestion I promptly pounced upon.
I used to be capable of maintain the unique drawstring after which simply needed to sew the (new) backside closed on the one bag. On the opposite half I used to be capable of maintain the unique backside and simply needed to set up a drawstring casing for the (new) prime of the second bag. I used a big wood bead from my macramé stash as a cinch slider for the brand new drawstring. I snipped the outdated shoulder strap for the chair bag off, leaving simply the webbed nylon nub of the place it was previously hooked up (seen within the photograph beneath).
The camp kitchen doodads at the moment are far more conveniently stowed. The smaller baggage match rather well within the JamJar’s cupboard space. All in all, a really passable upcycle.
