I've been doing a little sewing. I had to make a hunting vest/bag for squirrels or rabbits. This was a newspaper, home made pattern, I drew up 30 plus years ago. Front and back with bag. I made it out of the leftover fabric from one of the tee-pees I made a few years ago (link below). As you can probably see, I found after it was nearly made, it was too short for my client, so I added 4 1/2 inches to bottom and also to placket. Thank goodness for camouflage fabric as it hides a lot.-lol-although I don't think it looks bad as I did match my seams fairly well. Hope you enjoy looking at my sewing-Toogie

Looks great. My favorite saying if I screw up on something and fix it is "I planed to do it that way" . The Amish say that only God is perfect and that's why they put a "mistake" in their quilts. Will sometimes I have 2 or 3 of these "planed mistakes", LOL

Wow, love seeing your projects. You were able to join that fabric where it looks like that is how the pattern goes [I am repeating babash's statement] I went to gaze at that teepee also--Tremendous work.

Thanks and if you click on the brown tag in the tee pee link it will take you to the other tee pees I made.That's right I didn't make just one, but six!!!!!! A blue one is not shown. It is finished all but the emb on flap. I left it unfinished, until an owner claims it, to be personalized. Thanks for looking and I sent you a pm.

I laughed after it was made. I should have put a box pleat in the top pocket edge and I inserted elastic, oh well....thanks for looking.

Thank you, I guess that guys that hunt just need the basic to carry their game.
