March Keep Making Stuff Challenge

[Tinkerton]

Anybody else attempting the challenge? How's the progress?

I got close to finishing but there are a few design flaws. I may unstitch and try it right side out, then stitch the corner pieces on. My piece of rope is too short also.

Been working on the Do Something Challenge this month. Just finished it up. Ended up changing a few things, but I was happy with the result.

Randal,

Nice work. What you did with the grommets is very similar to how I had envisioned the cinch area. I really like how you did the straps.

Well between finishing the February challenge and doing the final adjustments on my sewing machine, I wasn't sure I was going to get this finished. Not only did I finish, I managed to squeak it into March. Had some issues with the pattern. I didn't make the fold-over for the string big enough for two strings, in fact, with one string I couldn't get it to cinch tight. I abandoned that idea and used grommets instead. I still have a long way to go before I will be proficient with the sewing machine but I managed to sew the pieces together and didn't attach any of my fingers to it. All said and done, I had fun making it.

Nice work. I won't be finishing mine. The pattern just didn't work out. I spent over $10 on some nice rope and it's way too short.

I've got to get some money out of the leather so I'll probably just finish it as a tote and try to sell it.

Nice job, TRH. I was too busy this month, but hopefully should be able to participate next month.
