If you had told me 3 months ago that I would be get stoked when a sewing machine is shipped to my house, well, I would have told you that you were nuts.

Today is one small sale for Walmart.com, Brother XL-2600i, and one huge step for my DIY life.

Finish sleeping bag conversion? Yes I will!
Make waterproof sox? OK!!!!
Stuff sacks? You know it!!!
Kick butt winter tarp?? Oh yesssssssssss

OK, I'll admit it. I have never used a sewing machine, however, I am a enthusiastic, [compulsive and habitual], You Tube watcher and I believe I can . . . because, as a very wise man once said,
WE DON'T SEW!! WE MAKE GEAR!!!!!!!!!
