My watermelon bag

Ovo je moja lubenica - torba!

Ideju sam dobila već prije godinu dana,

ali nikako da je napravim.

Imala sam želju napraviti torbicu baš ovakvih boja,

ali da oblik bude kao feta (kriška) lubenice.

Let me introduce you my watermelon bag!

I had this idea in my head for over a year now,

and finally I got some spare time to make it!

I had a wish to make a bag using these colors,

but in a shape of watermelon slice!

Izrezala sam ovakve oblike 2 puta.

I cut this forms twice.

Lagano sam ih pripuntala jedan za drugi.

I stitched them ligthly to each other.

I, kad sam vidjela da je sve u redu, prošila sam ih.

Na slici su prikazane s prednje i zadnje strane.

And, when I saw everything's alright, I sewed them

This photo shows both front and back.

Onda sam izrezala ovu formu 4 puta.

To će mi biti za unutrašnjost torbe.

Then I cut this form 4 times.

This is for the insides.

Pa sam izrezala zeleni  i bijeli dio za dno

i još jedan bijeli za unutrašnjost torbe.

Then I cut green and white for the bottom of the bag

 and another white for the insides.

Odmah mi je bilo jasno da ova torba, napravljena samo od platna,

neće biti čvrsta i neće imati formu koju ja želim.

Zato sam pronašla jedan komad plastičnog omota

sa kutije neke igračke.

To će torbi dati oblik.

Na slici se jedva vidi gdje je ta plastika :(

I knew from the start that this bag, made out only of fabric,

won't have the shape that I want.

So I took a peace of plastik from the box

in which some toy was bought.

That plastic will give the firmess needed.

on this photo you can hardly see it, sorry :(

Izrezala sam plastiku nešto užu i manju od zelenog dijela.

I cut this plastic to be a little bit smaller then the green part.

I smjestila je unutar zelenog i bijelog dijela.

And I placed it between green and white fabric.

Tada sam daj donji dio pripuntala za crveno-bijele stranice.

Then I stiched this bottom green-white part to the red-white side parts.

I poslije to sašila mašinom.

And, later, sewed with machine.

Onda sam opet ručno dodala još jedan bijeli dio na bočne strane,

kao neki džep.

Unutra sam umetnula opet tanku plastiku.

Then I hand stiched the white fabric on the red-white sides,

just like a pocket.

I put some thin plastic inside, again.

Pa sam to sve opet prošila mašinom.

Prije toga sam dodala crvene ručkice.

And I sewed it again with the machine.

Before that, I put some red hangs.

Tada je na red došla unutrašnjost torbe.

Isti oblik kao vanjski.

Then I made the inner part of the bag.

Same form like the outside. 

Umetnula sam unutrašnjost unutra, pripuntala ručno,

dodala patent isto ručno,

i kad je sve sjelo na svoje mjesto, prošila.

I put the inside part inside (of course), hand-stiched it,

put some red zipper, too, handstiched also.

And, when everything look the way it is supposed to be,

I carefully machine sewed it.

Unutra je i mali džepić, za mob ili slično.

There's a little pocket inside, for phone or such.

Lubenica ne bi bila lubenica da nema koštice.

Ovo su krasni botuni, izgledaju baš kao koštice!

A watermelon wouldn't be a watermelon if it doesn't have any seeds.

Look at these great buttons, they looke just like seeds!

Pogled sa svih mogućih strana:

A view from all possible sides:

I to je to!

Moja trodimenzionalna torba.

And, that's it!

My 3D bag.

Nadam se da su moje upute koliko-toliko jasne.

A ni meni nije bilo sve jasno kad sam je radila,

ali mi je drago da je ispala baš kako sam je zamislila.

I hope that my instructions are somewhat clear.

Anyway, I wasn't clear about it myself when I was making it,

but I am sooooo glad that it turned out the way I imagined it!

I hope you'll like it ;)
