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

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

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.

The bottom looks like that is how it is meant to be. Great job.

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.

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
