Sewing Workshop

Lukas is taking advantage of the slower summer schedule to sew more hiking gear. Now that he has created prototypes in both scrap fabric and inexpensive ripstop, he has graduated to making backpacks for the hikes this summer.  Not only is his Dad getting one, a friend hiking the Arizona Trail ordered one, and of course, Lukas needed one in the upgraded fabric and design. The living room resembles a sewing workshop,  and it has been a while since we used our dining room table to eat on it.

He is learning many valuable skills in the process - measuring twice, pins are your friends, and when in doubt stop and think before acting.

After weeks of sewing, he is about to reach the end - the last backpack is getting its final touches. Everything will be done before we head out on our trip.
