I wish I could sew

[malkin]

I've got a seam ripper, and I know how to use it.

Zen, come down someday and we'll buy the fabric and I'll sew it for you. Then you can take me out to lunch.

[Zen]

well if I have to buy you lunch I'm bringing a skirt to hem too

Zen's thread had me looking at other projects on etsy. I love this. Looks like a carradice zipped roll.

Wow. Now I want a sewing machine, and cute bike bags, too!

No kidding. Especially when you interpret "vintage upholstery fabric" as "off of some old couch". I really thought she did a nice job with the straps though. I think I'm going to try it this summer.

there's another one who cleverly uses old clothes. Not for bike stuff, though

Hmmm...that's just a little too "trying to be clever - looks home-made" for me. I somehow don't think there is going to be a big market for these with those that jumped on the ipad train.

I cheated in home ec sewing.

I never heard of anyone cheating in home ec before.

Clever enough to cheat but not clever enough to sew

I agree. The cargo pants are downright disturbing.

Oh, cute! (That would look SO good on my bike!)
