Soft-Side, Firm Bottom (Mini) Travel Totes
I had the privilege of teaching/mentoring a Soft-Side, Firm Bottom Shaving Kits or Cosmetic Case Class this past Saturday at Jerry's Sewing shop in Janesville, Wisconsin. Thanks to the Ladies at Jerry's for their hospitality and preparation for the event. All attendees went home with beautiful, stylish, and unique projects.
Styles for Soft-Side, Firm Bottom Travel Totes are almost limitless. Here are a few examples. I even wrote instructions for this project.

Result of that class was a new twist on my very own design--"Firm Bottom Totes"--"Firm Bottom Pet Screen Totes." Enjoy a few pictures of my new projects--all spoken for so you would have to send me an order. :o)

Girls Just Want to Have FUN--Fun Totes, That Is!
Our College-Age Daughter had just one request as she headed back to school this year. Conversation went something like this.
"Dad. Can you make me a very cool Duffel? I have all the material."
"Sure, Youngin. What did you have in mind?"
"How about Poka Dots on the Outside and the USAF material on the inside?"
"Uh, Well, that won't exactly match, ya know but if that's what you want, I will make it."
"That's what I want, Dad."
Nice to have it done and it turned out much better than I anticipated with the minimal amount of material. You might see I got a little creative with the handles and the side panels to make sure I had enough.

US Army Class B Tote
All I have to say is, "Wow. I am amazed at how well this US Army "Class B" Duffel turned out!" What do you think?
Crazy Busy Lately!
Man, Have I missed being online to keep you up to date with cool projects. That's what happens when retirement planning and organizational move overlap at the SAME EXACT TIME. Whew! Things are nuts around here.

Brand New! US Army Enlisted Heritage Duffle Tote
I made this US Army Duffle Tote for my friend, Ed, who also gave me an extra uniform in a trade. I am sure he'll love this bag more than the uniform he used to wear. The coolest features of this bag are the reused pockets, zipper, rank, and name tag. What do you think? Got a Military Uniform you would like to wear on your shoulder since you no longer wear it for work? Let me know.
