I'm a Bro and I Sew... Who else is with me?

[chibobber]

I have been looking for someone interested in sewing a production run I have in mind. This is on the military side. PM me if you want to help a non sewer.

I've made all my pandemic masks.
4 SW themed.

My mom passed as well a few years ago, I now have her other machine and baby lock.
Unfortunately my sister in law grabbed the serger before I could get it.

Real bros knit.

Tried it back in the 70's, takes to long to make anything.

Totally forgot to post my finished product here -- Bat cape out of pleather (ingnore my massive gut):

Overall, pretty happy with the results.

After endless hand sewing, to the point where even attaching insignia seems a miserable task, I found this on the sidewalk recently. Yes, it works.

Just took a sewing class at my local maker space. Made a small zippered bag. Came out pretty ok. Want to make a kenobi costume and really wanted to build as much of it as I can by myself. Also want to make some nerdy Hawaiian shirts. Still got a ways to go and trolling facebook marketplace/craigslist for a decent-priced machine.

Just a follow up on my Spartan post above. I've spent a fair amount of time using this machine now. RPF projects aside, I've hemmed four pair of trousers. Sewing an embroidered patch to clothing can be done in a couple minutes (used to take 10-20 annoying minutes). My next project is a messenger bag.

I'm down with the sewing machine, and consider myself extremely lucky to have found mine on the sidewalk. That said, nobody wants sewing machines now, so purchasing second hand is like happy meal money. I encourage anyone reading these pages to go find themselves an old singer, and learn how to use it.

Post pix of your bag when you make it.

I was saddened to find out the local Jo Ann's Fabric store closed.
The only place in town that still sells fabric is Hobby Lobby and the selection is small.
