Helmet bag - going to make my own.

[Lostinspace 0]

I have decided to make my own helmet bag.

Does any one have a pattern?

Lennys' Quick and Easy Helmet Bag:

1 - Find an old t-shirt that is still in pretty good shape. (No holes, can't read the paper through it-) Try to find one with a snappy saying on it, like "Trust me, I do this all the time." An old pullover sweatshirt is even better. (More cushiony.)

2 - Hack the sleeves off with knife or saw or something, and sew up the arm holes. If you don't have any thread, use dental floss.

3- Stuff your helmet in the t-shirt, then stuff all the excess fabric inside the helmet. (You can shove your gloves and alti in there, too, and the excess fabric will help pad things.)

4- Stuff that in your gear bag, and it's all nice and protected.

5 - Spend the money you saved on another jump. Or beer.

A pillowcase works well too.

i guess I am going to make my own pattern.

i went to the fabric store and bought material.

I forgot velcrow and stuff to make the handels with.

SO if you see a chick at your dz with the UGLIEST helmet bad ever, dont make fun of it.

fyi, i dont know how to sew yet.

I used to jump a pretty good sized full face, and I bought a drum case to put it in. Check out a musical instrument store. It served me very well for years.

OK. I can see everyone is as excited as I am. I have started coming up with a plan. See attached.

Edited: didn’t like how the jpegs looked.

do you know how to embroider?

I looked at the sewing machine's manual. It's ass. (not like the manuals for autodesk/matlab, where you can teach yourself from them.)

I dont' want to go to class. Is there a book out there for sewing basics?

.... I should be doing schoolwork. Im starting to think I decided to do this as another way to procrastinate.

I've got a great book that i got in my basics class (maybe its the same one you have to get?) but I can give it to you this weekend, just let me know!
