Ok,
So I wish I could call this my first ever DIY project. However, I've done many a project on my own instead of buying them. This just happens to be the first time I've used a sewing machine in about 18 years.
Here is the photo album Sorry for the poor focus, it's a 3MP phone camera.
The Story:
I purchased a Grand Trunk Silk Sleep Sack from the REI outlet with the intention of using it as a TQ liner or warm weather TQ. (I'm a hot sleeper) When it comes only the bottom half of the sack is sewn together, not exactly what I wanted. So, I headed over to my Grandmother"s house and asked her to sew a ~3' straight line. She replied:
After some discussion she gave me a quick lesson on her Husqvarna Rose and set me loose. Apparently silk isn't the easiest material to stitch. I did have a few hang-ups along the way, but overall it was pretty painless.Your arms aren't broke, you can do it yourself.
I'm probably gonna have to open the seam on the opposite side about halfway. The foot box is just too deep to be functional in a hammock. I'll get around to that another day. This was a great experience for someone who has alot of DIY projects in mind and very little experience one a thread injector. I'll certainly be doing it again.
