I have since altered the Shams and added poppers at the bottom so that it clips together for a snugger fit. It’s nice and warm when wearing....This Shams took 3 hours to make and is a rushed prototype. I will take care in making the next one and use fishing wire to sew and not black thread
all words an pics are prepadays, i just uploaded thems
RE: SHAMS - Tigs - 25 August 2012
that looks fantastic , just wondering how much its cost to make ?
RE: SHAMS - Prepaday - 25 August 2012
Totally ameture but I tried lol. I like it and it's handy,
I made it from a shirt from the second hand shop..£1.50, The waterproofing stuff..pound shop...£1.00.
Thread 10p...poppers £1.00 for 20 diff sizes.
head band £1.50.
RE: SHAMS - Tigs - 25 August 2012
so about £3:60 !! you know something like that would cost at least £10 from a store more if the kit was in it
RE: SHAMS - Prepaday - 25 August 2012
I am thinking of buying a sewing machine and taking my time with the next one, I might just start selling them? I was also thinking of a patent, to much time and money though.
RE: SHAMS - Hrusai - 25 August 2012
with a bit of refinement and proper sewing and such like you could feasibly sell them tbh, but i'd just make a few more, change techniques, test them out in the field too!! go out camping for a couple of days, with nothing but your shams lol
keep working on the design though and i can see it being something marketable, at the moment its a great idea and a nice prototype
