G4 Pack, Part 7: The Back of the Pack

Sewing

Finally got back to crafting last night after a pretty busy week.  I had been temporarily waylaid by the lack of a Z-Rest, but I picked one up the other day and kept sewing.

The clever pin cushion on my wrist in the above picture is one of a bunch of great sewing tools I received in a very generous Valentine’s Day care package!  Thanks again!

I couldn’t find any Lycra mesh in the UK, so I had to settle for some normal black Lycra from the local costume supply store.  It doesn’t look as nice as the mesh, but it’ll be invisible most of the time.  I just hope it performs adequately.

The Z-Rest fits!

To finish off the back, you just need to sew on the rest of the straps.

So that completes the sections of Cordura.  I tried to do a bit with the ripstop, but it wasn’t going well so I called it a night.
