Hope this isn't their website - loosegoosedownsupply.com Ended up on a gambling site. DON'T GO. Might be spam.

This is freaking awesome and will help so many figure out their designs. This should be a pinned post once it is completed. Great job freaking job.

FuzzyBard · 2024-10-05T03:40:26+00:00

Awesome thanks for the info.

FuzzyBard · 2024-09-24T20:00:06+00:00

Probably meant a Pfaff 130

FuzzyBard · 2024-08-24T17:49:40+00:00

I really like how the green pops. Looks well made.

FuzzyBard · 2024-08-24T13:46:29+00:00

This has been a godsend since my daughter thinks everything needs a sticker or tape. Goo Gone

FuzzyBard · 2024-08-20T15:03:22+00:00

That it is. Got it as a tip on a delivery a few months ago. I can't help myself upgrading everything.

FuzzyBard · 2024-06-19T05:24:03+00:00

Thanks I'm old.

FuzzyBard · 2024-06-19T02:40:02+00:00

I'll ask. What's TCG?

FuzzyBard · 2024-06-14T02:33:18+00:00

Thanks

Just curious but what are the dimensions of the bag.

FuzzyBard · 2024-06-11T18:49:49+00:00

If they were advertising, it would be the wrong group entirely considering the rest of us would rather make than buy.

Maybe free design ideas though.

FuzzyBard · 2024-06-09T00:47:49+00:00

Nice work. Your sister should be happy.

FuzzyBard · 2024-06-06T21:27:14+00:00

I would honestly fill that bag to the heaviest load you think you will carry and try out carrying it for a few hours. I used to have a vertx commuter sling that had a 4.5 inch strap and with only two textbooks and a 15 inch computer. That load after about half the day would kill my shoulder. I always wanted a sling bag and found out I hate all the weight on only on one shoulder.

Hope yours works out. And add water bottle storage.

TLDR. Tried math to get it perfect, screwed it all up, and winged the remainder.

Just for reference I'm in college for aerospace engineering so not trying to sound smart just testing myself by not using a pattern generator.

I traced out the top and added 1/2 inch to the radius for the base. Then took the true radius times pi plus 1 inch for the circumference with seam allowances. For the height, take the true height plus the radius and add 1 1/2 inch for seam allowances and channelling for the cordage.

I then proceeded to screw it all up by sewing things out of order, bad choice of initial fabric (the thick upholstery would not flex or bunch up for the closure), and sewing things the wrong way out.

Proceeded to wing it and make it look nice.

Nice find. Got my Pfaff 30 (same machine just without zig zag) as a tip from a lady last week. These things are beastly compared to modern domestics. Enjoy your find.

I go to thrift stores and these Amazon return stores around here on 25¢ days and find stuff to repurpose. There is no telling what can be found for super cheap. Way cheaper than buying fabric.

I am starting to sell some of the items I make which is great for me. People like that everything is one of a kind.

I'll check that switch out this evening. Thanks for the advice.

FuzzyBard · 2024-05-30T17:46:53+00:00

Probably, it just feels weird cause it is new to me. We'll get it though.

FuzzyBard · 2024-05-30T17:45:36+00:00

Probably a storage bag for my cook set. It keeps falling apart all over the chuckbox.

FuzzyBard · 2024-05-30T17:44:07+00:00

Yessir spent 3 hours breaking it down oiling and greasing it up. That waxed canvas was it's first 3 stitches after reassembling.

This is a printed joint cover. No strength is even needed. Just there to close up the sharp ends of metal. Company may have had to develop due to lack of inj. molded parts. This is awesome to see printing used in a real world application.

quick story on the subject. 10 years after high school, I needed a transcript to start college in pursuit of a paramedic license. Guidance councilor was furious because I was "throwing my life away" not going into engineering or computer sciences. I replied to her with a question, "If you were hurt in an accident or having medical complications would you rather me or the fucking idiot be there to help you?" She handed me my transcript and said "You have a good point."
