As for all you guys that are too macho to sew, whacha gonna do when something rips and the wife ain't around? It's like a gal being to feminine to know how to put gas in the tank or air in the tires.

My father is an upholsterer and I grew up sewing. I can mend (see, proper terminology) a bottom, and I can mend a leather holster except I don't have any leather stuff. My father has all that. Hey Alpo, I just wanted to make you all laugh and I am sure you did.

I do find it easier to do the sewing that I need instead of asking her to do it. I made a "fits all" boat cover fit perfectly, shortened a few lab coats for at work, put pleats in pants so they fit me, and I am getting ready to make my own rifle sling.

I said sewing, not knitting. go back and re-read my post bingo boy.

Men sew, you knit. or should I say "knit-wit"

I was not making fun of what you said. I was just trying to get your goat,,, which I did. Now, get back to sewing your table cloth cover for your upcoming tea party.

Get used to it.

Buckshot · 11-20-2012, 01:01 AM

AND anyhow...it's food for thought. I've made sure to include a well-stocked sewing kit in my pile of...stuff.

Including the ability to mend/repair heavier stuff made of leather, cordura, canvas, etc. Could prove priceless. Add it to the list.

let me know when your ready for that rifle sling. I'll teach ya a couple diffrent weave patterns, for doing it with 550 paracord.

68c15 · 11-20-2012, 05:34 AM

where do I get paracord? ABN Army surplus?

Iron Eagle · 11-20-2012, 05:44 AM

Cheaper than dirt has it, I believe.

yep they have it.

aa1911 · 11-20-2012, 11:12 AM

PK supply is very cheap for 550 cord, 1000yd rolls of the suff; don't waste your time with 100' chunks for way too much.

http://www.pksupplycorp.com/

lowyusa is an excellent company too. Lowy and Tennessee webbing are my main suppliers, mostly made in USA materials.

gvw3 · 11-20-2012, 03:16 PM

I never needed to learn to sew. I have always had a few rolls of duck tape handy.

hstout1143 · 11-20-2012, 04:18 PM

I made some shooting sticks with 2 old arrows and paracord, they work great. I'd like to make other things like a sling.

as luck would have it I am working on the owner's car today. she will "see what they have" for me. she even said they have an employee who makes slings and belts and such for sale.

Buckshot · 11-26-2012, 12:19 AM

CampingSurvival.com also has some of the best prices on paracord. I bought a 1000' roll of OD green for $38 and change. Couldn't come close to that most places I looked. If anything they are so popular you can run into "out of stock" a lot. But they replenish constantly and you can get on an e-mail list.
