JerseyCity Frankie Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 https://www.flickr.com/photos/140039433@N06/26418551940/in/dateposted-public/ I make a lot of nautical handicrafts and I sew a lot of canvas in the traditional sailmaking manner with a palm and needle. I often scavenge material from dumpsters at my local marina. At one point I cut out a swatch of some of that very heavy transparent vinyl boaters use on the fabric covers they have over the cockpits of their boats. I had assumed I would make a transparent pocket out of it on some handbag or something but then it occurred to me to make a ship in a bottle. I had the eight hour train ride so I just threw some very small fabric scraps in a bag with a few simple sewing implements. I had pre-cut and drilled the holes in the vinyl. I think hand sewing is the perfect train passtime. I am not sure what I will use this patch for. It could be a pocket or maybe I will make it into a case for reading glasses.

Chasseur Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 Good use of time on the train. I like the pics on your Flicker file. Did you complete the wire sculpts? Jeff Gwyl Blaser 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesseLee Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 How did you do those flags on the French model? The way they have all those small ripples in them look so real. Jesse Gwyl Blaser 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
