327fed Report post Posted April 7, 2022 It’s a cozy for a Yeti water bottle. Friend had this made many years ago and wants another for his son. Drum is riveted and I guess I will do so as well as it will be stronger and more industrial looking. Can’t figure out how they did the bottom plug. Is it a seam to the outside for both pieces? For sure hand sewn. Better pic Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fredk Report post Posted April 7, 2022 Yes, a seam through both outsides. Bevel the edges of both the base plug and the inside of the sides. then sew through at an angle.

327fed Report post Posted April 16, 2022 What size thread would you hand stitch the bottom in with? I have 1 mm lace and 207 polyester. Probably need something in between. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fredk Report post Posted April 16, 2022 I sew the bottom of my dice cups with 1 mm thread or lace. Actually, all the thread sewing on my dice cups is 1mm thread, or if I need a certain colour I use 0.8mm thread because that colour isn't available in 1mm from where I buy it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
