Everything is made with 1000 denier cordura, except the pink backpack. I have to find that material in a cordura nylon. I made the one for Rfizzle with the velcro on the front, so I made these that way too. My kids like it because they can either put their name patch on or a "morale" patch.
The backpacks arent mis-shaped, its just hard to photograph a soft pack without something inside, I opted for not filling each pack with stuffing for pics.
I made some rear bags for shooting rests too. I have been bored with the cold windy days we have had lately.

Those all look great! You have the most manly glue gun I've ever seen also.
Ok. How do I get my hands on some of those shooting bags?

That was my first thought, also, but was beaten to the question by those above.
How about it, HBAR?

Those are sweet. Are those kits you buy and assemble?
Either we need you to put on a sewing class or if you have some time to post some sewing videos it would be most appreciated.
What type of sewing machine are you using? What foot is on the machine? Type of thread? Are you ordering your fabric or picking it up locally? Sew many questions [Coffee]

I dont know about selling stuff. I really hate to sell stuff. The other problem is the "economy of scale" thing. They sell rear rests similar to these for $25-30 on the internet. They obviously buy their product in larger quantities than I can. So, I could sell these for less money, but not alot less. Im not sure if it would be worth any of your time buying from me instead of an established company like tab gear or red tac gear. I could sell them for $20 and be happy, but then there is the shipping or delivery. I am not near any of you and shipping costs for one bag might be cost prohibitive for you.
Ok, I made my middle son a new backpack today. in case you were wondering. I am making them all BOBs and everyday fun backpacks. Plus some of the backpacks and rests in the pictures I have already sent to new homes.

To answer cstone...all of my machines are industrial sewing machines or stitchers. The lightest thread I use is #69 and all the way up to #349 depending on what I am sewing. I mostly buy everything online. Other than Ralphs industrial sewing center in Denver and Rockywoods there really is nowhere to buy heavy threads, materials or equipment locally. That I know of anyway.
Hbar, that looks DAMN good....if you ever want to adopt...... :)
