What did you sew today?

Wow, many of you are tuning out some really cool stuff. My old singer is too small for dealing with much more than 3 or 4 layers of 1000D cordura. I’d like to upgrade my machine. Any ideas on where to find a good used machine other than the typical, EBay, Craigslist, offer-up?

Dang, my wife has an Uber Pfaff that she wont let me use. I want to start learning how to sew heavy duty crap. I think this thing could sew sheet metal together. It's got a bottom mounted motor that I believe would power a small car.

Whipped up this shotgun sleeve last night. It has 500D Cordura outside and then I had extra hook and loop compatible fabric that I used as a liner. Pretty stoked on how it turned out for only taking me 2 hours to make.

Sewed up a hammock using the hammock kit from Ripstop by the Roll. 1.6oz HyperD custom trout print fabric and it feels great. Really really easy kit for anyone to get started sewing. I need to hang it up and try it next! Also made a little stuff sack with some scrap silpoly.

Not from today, but the new pack bag I made for this hunting season. Fits on a Kifaru frame. Been meaning to make a separate post with the full build on this but haven’t gotten around to it. Included a pic of my vintage treadle used for every stitch on the bag as well for anyone interested. Bag held up great to six days in the backcountry and six days of wall tent camp. Unfortunately no pack out use this season but held up great to plenty of pre-season weighted training.

It’s inspiring seeing all the great stuff others here are making. Here is a simple silnylon bino cover to work with a Rick Young-style shock cord bino harness that I made today. Still kind of messing around with this idea and not totally sold on it, but I am definitely over bulky feature-packed bino harnesses:

I needed a larger shotgun shell pouch for taking into the duck blind. I put this together last night. It velcros shut as well as having a roll top.

I am pretty excited with this project, I needed a good duffle. 500D Cordura with ballistic for the bottom. I will make a shoulder strap and removable backpack straps. The only thing I would change next time is doing rounded corners for aesthetic.
