Well I am trying to upload more but I can’t get the pictures to load.

I finally got my shop finished. So here are a few pics. It’s a little messy now, but we will get it straightened up.

Thanks for the advice. It is for a sanctioned racing body and I already have the approved specs for the jacket. I raced years ago with his dad, so I was aware that certain things needed to be done to be legal. As far as buying one for $50-$100, those don’t exist. The cheapest one is around $350. To me it is not about the price. Being able to make something for a friend is priceless. I have added a picture of an example. It’s not the best picture, but you can get an idea of what I am looking for.

I have looked for a cloth pattern and I can’t find anything. I did find a pattern that I thought I could adapt to my needs, but it didn’t work out.

I have been asked by a friend to make a leather racing jacket for his son who races go karts. It is basically a motorcycle racing jacket. i have searched everywhere and i can't find a pattern. If anyone can help me locate one, I would greatly appreciate it. I am not looking for a freebie, i will pay for one. Thanks!

Wiz, I do have some. Tell me where to send them and I will drop them in the mail.

I may have some. I’ll check this afternoon and let you know.

Thanks a bunch! That is exactly what I need. For some reason I have a mental block about laying these out.

I am looking for a pattern for a passport case and a credit card wallet. I have a customer looking for a matching set. I have freehanded a pattern for each, but they just aren't turning out right. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Very nice! I spoke with Bob a couple of weeks ago and hopefully I will be purchasing one in a couple of weeks. I notice you have R/C cars hanging in behind your machine. What do you have and do you race or bash?

Send me a PM. I may be able to help.

Here is my first pair coming together. I will post more pictures as I progress. The leather I used is from an old leather recliner that was being thrown away.

Here is my first attempt at making a pair of shoes.

A little project I have been working on and finally finished. It's not perfect, but this was my first sewing machine rebuild and the first table I built. It's not a show piece and will be used daily.
