A Great Bike's Bag

I love my bike and I always go everywhere with it. But I usually have problems with the things I carry, when I have a backpack I end up more tired and with sweat on my back, when I put a bag on the bicycle it is usually difficult to remove it and it takes a long time to do so, when I have used the bags/handbags that are in the market to put on the handlebars they grab the cables, it's not easy to put them on/ take them off and then I am stuck with things in my hands because for example the water bottle I have nowhere to put it, for these reasons I decided that I should design my own bicycle bag, I hope you like it 😊

1. yarn (to crochet)
2. buckle
3. strap
4. fabric clothes (outside)
5. fabric clothes (inside)
6. yarn
7. scissors
8. crochet hook
9. accessories
10. ruler
11. paper (for drawing/printing the molds)
12. D-rings
13. elastic band
14. carabiners
15. zippers (2 outside - 1 inside pocket)

I started by making some drawings and planning the size of it.

Creation of the molds. (In the pdfs the images are in real size)

Transfer the drawings from the molds to the fabrics

I decided to make the piece for holding the bottle in crochet, however, it could also be done with fabric. For this, I drew the first piece in the molds, which I made with a pattern like the one drawn in img 1 (the blue part) and I crocheted like it until it had the shape of the mold, then I changed stitches (the orange part) and made 14 lines.

Elastic band

Sew the bottle holder to one side of the outer fabric.

Creation of the inner pocket (back) - Zipper

Creation of the inner pocket (back)

I made some fabric tubes to cover the straps that I put on the front and back of the bag. For this, I sewed one side of the fabric and then made a stitch in one of the tube entrances, and then passing nylon to the other side, I pulled it to be able to turn the fabric inside out.

The pieces that are colored in the drawing on the left below are those pieces that I sewed in this step.

D-rings

I made 3 seams on the straps at the back of the bag as marked in red in the guide img (img 1 - bottom left) These were 5 cm apart.

Union of the outer and inner fabric (thanks to the zipper on top)

Sew the sides

To join the sides on the inner fabric, one of them is left incomplete so that the bag can be turned inside out through there.

Carabiners

The strap to hang is as a backpack or handbag.

To use it on the bicycle, the carabiners are attached to the d-rings in the back of the bag.

To use it as a handbag or backpack, the carabiners are attached to the d-rings on the front. This is to prevent the straps from dangling or the carabiniers from incommoding in the back when the bag is hung.
