From Lunch Box To Sewing Kit Box / Od kutije za užinu do kutije za šivaći pribor

From Lunch Box To Sewing Kit Box by ana@carpe_diem


 I tako to....
Dijete raste, postaje punoljetno, odlazi na fakultet...
Pakiranje odjeće. Obuće. Posteljine. Knjiga.
Kuhinjskih stvari. Krpe i ručnici.
"Daj da ponovimo kako se peče meso, a kako kolači,
tu ti je temperatura, tu svijetli dok se pećnica grije, pazi na staklo..."
"Ovoliko praška stavljaš za bijelu robu, tu ti je odjeljak za predpranje,
ovoliko omekšivaća, nemoj pretjerivati, tu uliješ, ovako namjestiš program pranja,
ne miješaj tamno i svjetlo..."
"Je l' slušaš ti?!"
"Zapiši, kad ti kažem! Za svaki slučaj, eto zašto."
"E, da, i kutija za prvu pomoć."
 
And, so...
Child is getting bigger, becomes an adult, goes away to University...
Packing of clothes. Shoes. Bed linens. Books.
Kitchen stuff. Towels.
"Lets go over how to roast meat and how to bake cakes,
here is the temperature indicator, here is the lamp showing it, watch over glass door..."
"This much washing powder is for whites, here is powder department,
this much fabric softener, don't over do it, pour here, this is how to adjust washing program, separate darks and lights..."
"Are you listening at all?!"
"Write it down, I tell you! For any case, that's why."
"And, yes, here's first aid kit for you."
 
 
 
 
 
Tada sam se sjetila da maloj treba i pribor za šivanje,
u slučaju da joj se nešto raspara, ispadne botun i slično.
Njena nekadašnja kutija za užinu (marendu) je bila prigodan izbor -
nije više bila u prvotnoj funkciji i samo se prebacivala iz ladice u ladicu.
 
Then I have realized that she could use sewing kit, too,
in case she torns od ripps something, or buttons fell off.
Her previous lunch box was optimal choice -
it hadn't its original purpose any more and was relocating from one drawer to another.
 
 
 
 
 
Prikupila sam:
kutiju za marendu
šivaći komplet (igle, pribadače, konci u raznim bojama)
lastik
sigurnosne igle, gumbi
dva jastučića za igle i pribadače
pištolj za patrone
 
I have gathered:
lunch box
sewing kit (needles, pins, various treads)
elastic bands
safety pins, buttons
two pin cushions
glue gun
 
 
 
 
 
 Jedan jastučić za igle sam napravila u dimenzijama odjeljka u kutiji,
a drugi u obliku slova "M", kao "Mia".
Iskrojila sam oblike, prevrnula materijal i ispunila vatelinom,
otvor zašila ručno.
 
One pin cushion was shaped according to lunch box's compartment,
and another in shape of letter "M", as "Mia".
I have tailored the fabrics, turned it over, stuffed it,
handstitched the openings.
 
 
 
 
Jastučiće sam zaljepila pištoljem;
četvrtasti u predviđeni odjeljak, a slovo M na vrh kutijice.
 
I have used glue gun to secure both of pin cushons;
square one in intended section, and stuffed letter M on the top of the box.
 
 
 

U poseban odjeljak sa smjestila lastik, konce, igle i pribadače.
Taj se dio posebno zatvara.
 
I have placed elastic bands, needles, threads, pins in diveded section that closes over.
 
 
 
 

Sigurnosne igle i rezervne botune (gumbe) sam stavila u male najlončiće da se ne rasipaju,
a u poseban odjeljak i škare.
 
I have used little nylon bags for secure pins and spare buttons so they don't dissipate.
There are some scissors, too.
 




Gornji jastučić za igle posebno dobro dođe kod šivanja,
da se trenutno mogu odložiti igle i pribadače
(a ne da ih povećalom traži po podu :) ).
 
Top pin cushion comes pretty handy when sewing
to put off needles or pins momentarily
(so she won't look for it on the floor with magnifying glass :) ).
 
 
 

Tako...
Mala je spremna za faks.
Nisam sigurna da su roditelji spremni...
 
So...
Little girl is ready to take off .
I am not sure that parents are ready....
 
ˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇ
 
Kako vam se sviđa preinaka ove kutije?
 
How do you like this sewing kit box?

  4. Thank you for joining me for Trash2Treasure, what a great upcycle and Clio is right, I'm very scared to see him go, yet excited for him too. I'm not sure he will sew anything but scissors, thread, safety pins and wonder-web would come in handy! Thank you for sharing with me on #Trash2Treasure. Fiona x

  10. Da, deca rastu, hvala Bogu,a i mi sa njima. Uvek su nam inspiracija o čemu god se radilo. Naravno, mama zna šta treba i šta može zatrebati,a ako je još i kreativna, e, onda je to blagoslov. I za mamu i za sve ukućane, naročito u današnje vreme.
