    Givin' DIY a TRY.

    Picked up 4 yards of Black Ripstop Nylon at Hancock Fabrics today. Gonna try my hand at making my own Snakeskins, SPE and whatever else I can come up with. I have had a perfectly good Thread Injector sitting in a closet for years. A few days ago I fired it up and fixed a few stuff sacks. Could be a new addiction.

    I must warn you though, when you get hooked you don't get off that easy!
    I'm not asleep... but that doesn't mean I'm awake.

    'Could be an addiction'? you underestimate the power of DIY. You might as well plan on getting help now. Of course, HF is the place to do that. Good luck and enjoy.

    Now you know the power of of the sewing side!
    I got in a fight one time with a really big guy, and he said, "I'm going to mop the floor with your face." I said, "You'll be sorry." He said, "Oh, yeah? Why?" I said, "Well, you won't be able to get into the corners very well."

    Agreed... My wife thinks I'm nuts for making most things myself...

    I'm always saying, "This is my last project." It never is.

    If you are not prepared for this addiction, put the sewing machine back in the closet, you'll be regretting you ever pulled it out.
