I love board games.
My friends do too.
And Martin, a former flatmate and friend, shares the same passion.
Since my first semester, weβve been playing board games regularly in Ilmenau together with a group of friends. Game nights have become a natural part of our everyday life there.
When Martinβs birthday was coming up, I knew I wanted to give him something personal. Of course, a great board game was a must β but since Martin and his wife love to travel, there was one problem: board game boxes are usually bulky and not very travel-friendly.
Thatβs when the idea came up:
Why not sew the perfect bag to go with the game?
The Idea β¨
A board game bag for on the go β practical, compact, and personal.
I sewed a bag that fits the game perfectly and makes it easy to take along while traveling. To make it truly unique, I embroidered the outside using our Brother embroidery machine. The bag is fully lined on the inside, giving it both structure and a clean finish.
Since green is Martinβs favorite color, the choice was obvious:
It had to be green. π
Of course, a zipper was essential. I used an endless zipper, which I really enjoy working with because of its flexibility and clean, professional look.
The Result π
A custom board game bag featuring:
- an embroidered outer layer
- fabric
- stabilizer used during embroidery to support the fabric
- six different embroidery threads
- a bobbin thread
- a fully lined interior
- an endless zipper
A personal gift β made for board game nights on the go.

A great game, perfectly sized for this bag β although the next version will be just a little bigger, as this one is quite a snug fit.
