So, I've been wanting to make some stuff for a while and got 2 free sewing machines a while back and they've been just sitting there, waiting for me to use them. Reaper was kind enough to give me some info and some other past threads gave me a bunch of great help on a good way to tackle the pullouts. I got some rip stop nylon at the clearance rack at Walmart for ridiculously cheap, though it is kind of a bright royal blue. I thought it would be good for practice for some silnylon projects I want to do later. My mother-in-law provided me with a bag of scrap material, too and I decided to make the first ones out of some camo material she had. The first one took me quite a while. I ended up taking the zipper off after the first side was sewn on because I realized I didn't pay enough attention and had the wrong side out... I had a few more bumps along the way, but finally came up with a usable bag for the kiddo. There are some lousy seams and some far from straight seams, but all in all, it was a good experience and helped familiarize me with the machine. I took a little break, then sewed up a second one. It went WAY faster. It looks just like the first. I'm looking forward to more projects and thankful for the people on here that have been so helpful.
And if you're interested, here's a great thread that will help out a lot in making your own.
