I have tons of knives and there just in boxes, decided to make a roll for a few of them, eventually all of them.But these old hands with arthritis have a hard time sewing and theres a lot of sewing. I just started on the pockets on one side and find it hard and painful to hand sew. Its gonna take me forever just to make 1 roll. I can't afford a sewing machine just for the few things I make. Oh well guess I'll just have to take my time, maybe in a week or 2 it will be done LOL

I'm in the same boat haha. I'd love a machine, but you really need 2. And I don't do production work and can't warrent nor afford the expense. Nonetheless that's a good looking roll.

One thing you are doing wrong to start with . . . don't cut off the strip to use for the knives.   

Just fold over the length you need.  Then you can make two stitches . . . one about half way up . . . one at the top . . . that'll hold them.  

The fold at the bottom won't have to be stitched either.

May God bless,

:17::16: Thats how I've done my tool rolls, but with maybe more stitches and occasionally a ready-rivet at the top of each pocket

And this reminds me I need to make a tool-roll for my dottir's archaeology tools
