More sewing...

[John Fenna]

My latest sewing project..
A Gilet made from a couple of East European ponchos I bought at the Moot a couple of years back, lined with luxurious brushed cotton (thanks Toddy.
No poses this time


Worn over another of my designs in Welsh Flannel and made for me by Teifi Mills (The Welsh Woolen Museum) when I was seeing if my own line of woolen Bushcraft shirts was viable....

Great bit of sewing john, very stylish indeed

To save people getting a crick in their necks here's the pictures the right way up

Another nicely designed garment, Mr Fenna

 

[John Fenna]

You spoil all my fun Mesquite!

 

[Jaeger]

Aye Up,

Nice job that.

Hmmm... me thinks it's time for some more pinkness to come into your life

 

[Toddy]

I was impressed with the shirt, and the gilet looks excellent and practical too, but I'm impressed with Steve's manipulation of the neck cricking photo

Never mind the Pink….away and teach the The Fenna to sort it out

That said, I have five metres of pink flannel needing a new home too

LOL... All I did was link to the pictures on his post over in the Make Your Own Bushcraft Kit group on FB. That's why they're different sizes

As for me teaching him? He wears a badge that says 'Untrainable' so what chance do I have Mary?

As for the pink flannel... it's his 60th birthday this year so there might be some suitably pink celebrations at the Moot which that could be put towards

Very nice, I really wish i could sew better. Leather is fine but material is another story. I need moral support just to cut the fabric!

 

[topknot]

That gilet of yours looks real good .

[John Fenna]

Thanks for all the nice words folks
As an experiment I will now post pics using the softwear Adze sorted out for me

Was this the sort of thing you had in mind Steve?

Oh - spheroids!

 

[Hammock_man]

Sorry to say it is really not your shade John sir, needs a hint more pink.

 

[Toddy]

You do know that Vikings thought that pink was a good manly colour, while blue was for womenfolks ?

I don't mind that, almost a cherry color, not pink pink.
Be careful what you wish for.
Cricket .22 cal single shot rifle can be had from Cabela's (#1K-217335) with a very bright pink synthetic stock.

 

[John Fenna]

If I recall correctly the word "Gorm" as in "Cairn gorm" means blue...
Were Viking men (as Wayland professionally represents when not b*gg*r*ing about with photos) really seen as "Gormless"?
