Questions about using canvas duck material

**bunchdescendant** · 11th May 06, 12:12 AM

OK people, the cut/pin/sew stuff has begun-I have put a gallery up on my website for all to see. Just don't laugh too hard, OK? There is not much so far, I will add to it as I go.

That is a good old sewing machine.

I used to use the same model when making guitar cases and covers for cushions for caravans and boats and the like.

The pleating looks good.

Thanks Alan, the pleating was the part that was repetitous and mind numbing. I realise that the pleats don't have to be to the .001" but it was tough with the canvas duck.

BTW, it's done now, just waiting upon the sporran to be finished to post a few pics. Did I mention that I may have lost my mind trying to make a sporran? Chrome tanned black bison, 2.99 USD per sq. yd. at The Leather Factory, Union City, CA.

Thanks again,
Ray
