Day One into our arctic pac sewing adventure: we've completed four of the ten panels!
Everything is templated, and all fabric has been cut. Our Singer Ultralight, from 1946 has broken two needles and has been giving issues with twisting thread. Neither of us is much of a tailor.
Our system is similar to the 'pinners and barkers, but we are breaking each side into: front, window, middle, window, back.
Those five panels are all sewn separate, with 1" overlapping velcro to adjoin them, in addition to hanging off the 2" top velcro and bottom 1" velcro.
All materials are from Seattle Fabrics, thanks to research by Ski. Our cost was ~$140 for all everything, including shipping.
