A fun little half-hour build when the sudden need appeared. Sitting inside my geocaching bag, the pointy nature of the tweezers decided to poke through the side of the inner bag in there, and that just couldn't stand. So, immediately deciding it needed a case, I thought a nylon strap would work well for the job, quickly found some scraps, and, before stitching the sides together, sewed a small fold of rigid plastic into the bottom of the pouch, then proceeded to stitch the sides together. Going all the way up one side, and leaving a centimeter free on the other to make it easy to pull out the tweezers, this was a quickly finished project! Definitely not enough for a full page on its own, but it can serve as the starting point of sewings miscellaneous page. A one and done project!
I debated whether to add this since it's pretty everyday job kinda. But y'know, maybe it'll give people the idea to do it on their own, it's pretty easy. Thank you mom for the original sewing skills, and to Like That for showing me how to narrow a shirt. So say you buy a shirt and it's too big, as was the case here. If it's got seams down the side, you basically just chalk a line starting at the armpit (no modifying from the shoulders up here, sorry, that's way above my pay grade), and angle that to a centimeter or inch or whatever you need all the way down. So I moved the side seam about an inch in, taking about 2 inches off both sides, and... yus. Am happy. I mean, it cOoOoOuld be a bit narrower, but I don't know if that'll start looking unusual, with the shoulders at this width. All in all, for smaller changes, this works, and it worked ^_^
Just a quick little project, y'see I'd recently re-acquired the game Lunch Money, and needed a pouch to put it in again. You can read how much I've been missing this game ever it went missing in that page there, but needless to say, when it was re-purchased, I immediately set out to make another coin and card pouch for it. So one order of mottled grey fabric later, about an hours work on the sewing machine, and a pouch was created! By blind chance I had that drawstring from... somewhere, I can't even guess, but I found it in one of my scrap bags while looking for an old black shoelace, and this is a far cry upgrade from that! No complaints! Everything is like double or triple stitched too :D
