My old set of de-stinkers for my roller skates and gear were starting to get a bit grubby and not work as well anymore. So I got to work and made some new ones. I’m also planning to wash and refill the old ones so there are some in stock.
I wanted to make three sizes, a small one for in elbow pads and wrist guards, a large one for in knee pads and a long one for in my skates. I chose three different coordinating fabrics in black and white, so I could also see from the pattern which ones belonged together. S is circles, L is drops and Long is diamonds.
I ripped the fabric into different width strips (literally ripped, it was fun!). Those strips were put through the overlocker to create the bags. I filled them with silica cat litter, folded the top edges in and sewed them closed with my little chain stitch sewing machine. They’ve been coming along in my gear for a few weeks now and it still seems to work!
