# Behind the Scenes - Board Game Bag for on the Go ๐ฒ๐งต
โ ๏ธโ ๏ธโ ๏ธ **For a detailed description of the project, see: [Projects Gallery](https://fablab.tu-ilmenau.de/#!/projects/board-game-bag-for-on-the-go)** โ ๏ธโ ๏ธโ ๏ธ
I love board games.
My friends do too.
And Martin, a former flatmate and friend, shares the same passion.
Since my first semester, weโve 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 Martinโs birthday was coming up, I knew I wanted to give him something personal. Of course, a great board game was a must โ but since Martin and his wife love to travel, there was one problem: board game boxes are usually bulky and not very travel-friendly.
Thatโs when the idea came up:
Why not sew the perfect bag to go with the game?
**The Idea** โจ
A board game bag for on the go โ 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**](https://fablab.tu-ilmenau.de/#!/machines/makerspace-ub-stickmaschine-brother-pr-655). The bag is fully lined on the inside, giving it both structure and a clean finish.
Since green is Martinโs favorite color, the choice was obvious:
It had to be green. ๐
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** ๐
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 โ made for board game nights on the go.

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