The first time I took out my 'Arctic Pack' and installed it, I noticed ATC hadn't started using
Patrick's D-ring button holes, yet.
In the process of taking it down, I ripped the material along a seam. Frustrating, but it seems a little more care was needed than I mustered that day.
Since we are approaching winter, I was starting to get antsy about fixing the thing and adding the button holes. Well, my wife has a sewing machine, but doesn't really know how to use it or want to know, either...
So, I got my Arctic Pack out, set it up, marked it, and took it down.
I set up the sewing machine, practiced on some scrap, and then went on to button holes and tear repair. With much patience, everything worked out. I put some scrap behind the tear as a backing/reinforcement. I'm happy with the results.
Just some pics of me working, I'll snap some interior photos later.
- Threading the needle, AGAIN!
- It's all under control...
