Awesome job on the coats.

I have some ripstop cotton and "nicer" nylon in a few colours. I did a Matrix coat from a heavily edited Simplicity pattern a few years ago that is ripstop cotton.

I pretty much gave up.

Lol

It take a whole lot of time, thought and patience. Everytime I think I can go faster to speed up this long line then there it goes. There is a lot of to me mysterious craft I it as well to match your material weave to the desired strength with thread type/size and needle type/size.

I just found a great source for ripstop cotton, but I'd like to see some fleece too.

Here is a pouch I made up today. A Phone Burrito (I know taco ripoff but I never did find tacos in CADPAT ARID anywhere even mentioned).

Velcro molle on the front to sport a patch or two if you are up to it.
Malice clip back for belt or molle attachment.
I am planning on replacing the sides with wobbling a well as maybe adding in a hdpe panel on the insides
And adding in a 20 pocket. Just something small to keep a 20$ in securely.

Let me know what you think.

[siggypoo]

That's pretty good.
No...wait...that's really frikin good! I'd buy that if I needed one. Might I suggest you put a phone in it to model your work and its uses?

Thanks for the kind works and compliments. One the first picture there is a phone in the case, but I wanted to take a few pictures with it raw to show you the example of my work.

The case is 3.25" wide and about 5.5" tall and it hold my Nokia Lumia 1020 with an OtterBox case perfectly as I should since that's what it was made for. I can never find a good case for my phone that will fit with the case on.

[siggypoo]

Yah, I missed that last night when I posted. I blame alcohol.
Do you have a soft material for lining the inside? I hate to think of the stitching wearing on the screen or backing.

Not on this one as I have a otter box so there is a heavy protector on the phone. If I donit again I think I would try and get a very light felt, cotton ripstop, or 30-70d nylon. Its evolving its just my first go round.

A CADPAT Pillow
Added some camp over plain wobbling
A CADPAT kids hat, was in a hurry and got really sloppy on the brim but the kids love it.

I was just thinking of making an ACU pillow cover for my end of the couch. Now I see yours, it's for sure.
Told DeeJay yesterday I'm going to make an ACU necktie too. Y'know, just to geek out, lol.
Tell me, in the last pic, what thread and needle do you use in your machine?

Go for the pillow cover, i used what seems to be taffeta very soft almost like a heavy silk.

The needle is a denim and the thread is Coats and Clark ART colour 474 and there is an oval with T26 and its 100% nylon. Very strong, thick and it has 3-4 threads twisted together like rope. Best I could find locally (WalMart). There is also a gutterman outdoor/upholstery thread I like from fabric land its a brownish colour 696 I think and it basically hids itself on cadpat.
