Well people...here is a picture of my latest project in work. It is an adaptation of a18 th century haver sack. (Don't ask why I needed one, suffice it to say I am eccentric)[ATTACH=CONFIG]352760[/ATTACH]
Those straps are 8 layers of folded 8 ounce canvas and all of the seems were bound with leather salvaged from a piece of furniture.the old treadle machine seemed bored with it all.I continue to be amazed at how much I like this old girl. |
You are going to show us a pic of the finished project I hope. And my wife wants to know if your using a pattern and if so where did you get it.

Yes I will give some photos ( fuzzy and out of focus because I am about as good a seamstress as i am a welder ...pigeon poop comes to mind) and no... no pattern. I went to Duluth pack company and looked at their "Hatchet haversack " watched the review video by the "Pathfinder school" and bought an Cheap Painters tarp from one of the big box home improvement stores. I then decided on the dimensions I wanted and kinda doodled till I had a sketch that would work.
you would not believe how many WRONG ways there are to attach things to a bag.... seam rippers are my friend. oh plus the mistake of sewing things on the outside...and sewing the INSIDE pockets shut... I have done every seam on this thing at least twice. But hey its good practice. |
It's amazing how many uses there are for canvas tarps!

You went to the store in Canal Park? That's a long way from Alaska! Before or after the great flood?
