Start of a New Journey

I had hoped the wind would start to fill back in as originally forecasted - but that wasn't the case.  The low pressure system isn't clearing out as fast as I would like.


So I headed back home and contemplated what I should spend my afternoon doing.

I figured today was a good day to start down a path I have long wanted to tread.  I was going to sew!!!


I cutout the pieces I knew I needed and got to threading the machine.

Then I started sewing some test runs to adjust the tension.  It took a bit but I got there.  These are the component pieces each with two runs of straight stitches to hold the form and length that I needed.


Then I set about to sew them together into the webbing manager holder for the Ion Wing Foiling Harness.  With this piece of webbing sewn together, I can now use this chest harness for parawinging.  This harness doubles as body armor so I'll have more protection during falls.


I am so stoked after getting this small but meaningful project completed!!!

And I am looking forward to many, many more sewing projects.  I want to get to know this machine well and make a bunch of useful things to make watersports more effective and also get good at making wing and parawing repairs.

And so it begins!!!
