DoubleC Report post Posted July 15, 2012 Guy wanted a shark on it, is going to go and swim with them and dolphins later this year. OH and of course ocean water. It slips over a belt on the back or can be clipped to a belt loop. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tree Reaper Report post Posted July 15, 2012 I like it, your stitching needs improving but it looks good. You could put a D ring on the bottom at the back and snap the snap to that. Unsnap it and hang it from something or snap it to be used around a belt. You should make a few them for your business, it's a good idea and many people use those pens.

DoubleC Report post Posted July 15, 2012 My stitching sucks, just not as bad as the man who ordered it, LOL. I'm trying to think about the d ring in my head to figure out how exactly that would work instead of a leather strap. I'm going to put a pic up Kev of the back and maybe you could do some of your drawing magic for me so I understand. Now you have me thinking about doing his over and hand sewing it. A mistake with a machine, and it's over. I redid the back once, but I think I'll do it again, Want to see your D ring idea though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Northmount Report post Posted July 16, 2012 I think the flap should be longer so it tucks in more securely under the loop. Don't want to lose the epi pen when your life depends on being available immediately. It's a good idea and great project. Might have to make one for my daughter-in-law. Thanks for the ideas.

CTG I just told a friend the same thing although the flap has velcro on it too, not just the loop holding it. I'm redoing it, I wasn't happy with it, and I have spent two days trying to get happy with it but it didn't work. Man paid good money for it, and he's going to get the best I can possibly do. This was the best I could do when trying to figure out the prototype, but now I know where the mistakes are, I can do a better job. Good eye CTG and you're quit welcome.

Tree Reaper Report post Posted July 16, 2012 If you put a D ring on the bottom at the back of the case you can eliminate the belt loop. Just clip the snap to the D ring for an instant belt loop. A little easier than threading a belt through the loop. Just a thought to give you another idea. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DoubleC Report post Posted July 16, 2012 It took me two days to figure out a prototype and make this thing because I had nothing but that black thing he was using to go by, and it took you an hour to make one? That's better? You're breakin my heart here kevin and I even asked you to explain. Seriously, thanks. And nice job....how much would you charge me to make HIM one?

bdt46 Report post Posted July 16, 2012 If your sewing machine is compatible, you should get a roller foot for it. That will make it a lot easier to stitch around the curved areas and follow an even border. I think it would look a lot better with larger thread also.

Oh I had to show off and use my 28 hand crank for this, should have used the 15-91 but wanted to play with the 28. Yes I have #69 thread and the 15-91 will handle it easier, but the shark should have been saddle stitched, and will be on the next one. Man I'm getting so great ideas for the next one, it's going to be a super duper epi pen holder :-). Thanks, Cheryl Maybe I'll make an epi pen mold. Still have my address? keep them molds coming, LOL.
