Sure, I'd like to see it.

If I had any money to spend, I likely would. My sewing machine is an
old treadle machine- it's the type I learned to sew on, and I can
manage one without disasters, like I have with electric machines. I
doubt anyone would rent me another treadle machine ;-) Sewing machines
and I just do NOT get along.

And, I'll be needing his input in constructing the garage shelter lid.
When he works at it, he's a wizard with fabric, can make it do
anything he likes (should have seen the overall kilt he made for Kim-
it would have fit him, if Johan had been a bit more accurate as far as
sizes), whereas I can do that with leather, but fabric has me cussing,
and with a mess in my hands in seconds.
