    My next project

    I had a good weekend, After getting "Baby Momma" aka Sharon, to spend the night in a hammock Friday night,,, I had ALL day Sunday to myself.

    She was gone,, the kids were at her sistas, oh MAn, the piece and quiet.

    I was able to put together and sew up 2 hammocks, one in Desert Tan and one in the Camp Rip Stop.

    Then it dawned on me,,,, My next DIY project....

    A Hammock Forums SEWING Apron ....(typed with pride and honor)

    Yep a sewing Apron,,, In Camo, !!!!
    with
    1) a quick release scissor holster,,,, no more, WHO USED MY SEWING SCISSORS???!!!!
    2) a seam ripper, holster
    3) a loop to hang my glasses
    4) a speedloader pouch for bobbins
    5) a measuring tape pouch,
    6) velcro mounted pin cushon
    7) pouch for back up scissors
    8) misc pouch for cigaretts & lighter ( the lighter is for melting those loose ends on the material)

    and personalized monogram with
    " NO TOUCHA" KEEPA U HANDS OFFA"

    I could make that happen!

    I've got my eye on some desert MarPat poly/wool twill that I think would make a kick-butt kilt, just gotta get my thread injector fixed and save up some cash.

    PM me if you're interested,

    Hahaaaa, yeah, this is an off-day garment only.
    Along the same line, I did used to wear shorts commando in the summer with my saddle. They let me know real quick that needed to stop.
