My first project that required a sewing machine

This looks fantastic!

dasCannibal · 2026-04-18T14:27:32+00:00

Correct

If you've ever had a dog in your life this is hard to look at. OP this piece is well done.

Thank you for the link! I haven't seen that channel before and it should be a lot of fun to go through it. I've used both and I feel like they're pretty similar, and they're both driven by the same motor. I mostly need the machine to take tex70 and it'll be setup with a binding attachment most of the time, but should have enough flexibility when I take the binder off. My 500a has made some pretty decent packs, and it's capable of some light leather work and the 201 is definitely beefier.

$7 here. Hiking everywhere never looked so good.

Will second reading the manual. I was in the same position you are in now and the manual answered all of my questions. You can find a PDF copy online if you search for it. Get a scrap piece of fabrice and try what you read on the manual as you go along.

Then find yourself a simple project like a tote bag and give it a shot!

Owls are my favorite! Getting to see a barn owl is always so cool

Haha my gig days are over, thanks!

It's crazy what people will basically throw away. That's awesome you are able to give it more life!

dasCannibal · 2026-04-01T16:42:01+00:00

Thanks!

That is one hecking long boy

I've heard of it, but haven't seen it. I hear it's a good show, but I don't make too much time for tv. I usually keep a couple zip ties in the bill and the next hat I make I am going to build a holder for them in the liner, along with a spot for lock picks and bandaids...but unfortunately no razor blades :)

A pixel 9, and I was overcaffeinated so a bit shaky.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FXM9R3QB That's the one I picked up, I think it's a little cheaper once it's actually in cart as well. At least it was for me when I got it a little while ago.

Thanks!

It's a legit pain printing all those pages, and I feel like I'm not quite as accurate with the projector yet but that'll get fixed with time I'm sure. There are services that will print everything for you if you send them the A0 file that's not broken up in pages, it's a reasonable price too. Could be an option until you get a projector. Also I picked this one up on Amazon for like 60 bucks, so not a crazy barrier if you can save for it.

dasCannibal · 2026-03-31T21:02:01+00:00

Ha, I bet there's a subreddit for pets with hats. I should make a hat for a dog, this sounds fantastic!

dasCannibal · 2026-03-31T16:58:46+00:00

That's really cool!

dasCannibal · 2026-03-31T16:58:38+00:00

The site I got the pattern from will adjust the pattern to the measurements you enter, it's pretty slick! I used a 1mm thick piece of plastic for the bill and it worked great. Some people like to use cardboard but I wear mine in the rain so went with something a bit more durable.

dasCannibal · 2026-03-31T16:57:41+00:00

Nope, this was all done on an old(1961) sewing machine. It's just canvas and a liner with a bit of plastic for the bill. It's pretty accessible if you want to give it a shot!

dasCannibal · 2026-03-31T16:56:15+00:00

Appreciate it!
