Impulse purchase!

[Big T]

So today I was at a car boot sale to make some money and saw an old electric Singer sewing machine. Decided to buy it for £15 (which maybe was a bit too much) but it was just because I might make something in the future. The reason I am posting is -any suggestions on what I could make and how? I am looking for an easy, small first project that I can use in normal camping.

Thanks in advance
Tommy

Have a go at making a stuffsac or two Big T. They're fairly simple, and a good project to start off with.

A simple easy project for you:

Stuff bags

Also drop John Fenna a PM and ask for a copy of his excellent project book. Loads of good advise tips and designs for you to try out

(John, my favoured tipple is Crabbies Ginger Ale please)

Love it - what would I make them from?

Any other ideas?

Possibles Pouches are always useful, just fold material in half and sew up the sides.

Get some canvas and make a tarp.
I'm just waiting on a new belt for my Singer machine, then it's a tarp for me.

+1 for diy tarps.. Tremendously satisfying!
