What did you sew today?

Had my 7 & 8 year olds working on some simple stuff. Both made pencil cases with felt that a couch got shipped wrapped in.

Also had them figure out a pattern and sew up some insulated boot covers. Need to get a pic of finished product but work great with a hand warmer dropped inside.
 
My feet are always cold and I cant stand heavy boots. Found a $3 down puffy at a thrift store, ripped the seams, and used the panels to make these boot covers. They pack down to a soda can size and should let me hike in with lightweight boots, then slip these over my boots when I'm in a treestand. Not my first choice in color!

I thought it would be fun for people to share their sewing projects and start a whole thread for collaboration.

Drop your latest sewing project, I’ll start.

I read someone say to sew the straps of your bino pack in place when you get it fitted to your size and I had never considered it but it seems like a great idea. My Alsask

Made a couple shooting bags. I think the front bag can get smaller. Took similar dimensions to the LS wild bag and added a small groove into the bottom. Filled with 5524b spexlite. Both bags weigh 5.4 oz. Spent $60 for 16 liters of fill which will get me 4 more bags or so and took ~2 hours to make both including making templates.

I’m a semi professional amateur tinkerer. I’ve made a few summer quilts (one alpha and a couple synthetic). My buddy asked if I could make him a backpacking sleeping bag for his gsp so I came up with this. Also knocked out some diy apex mittens. (Sleeping babies means sewing in the garage o. Top of the washing machine. As everyone knows, all great products and ideas happen there)

I did this with my Marsupial and it’s been fantastic. I did it after replacing 3 of the 4 buckles with their buckle delete kits as I only ever use 1 anyways. Highly recommend it. I will post a pic when I get a chance.
