tie dye sky tie

[SethInMI 146]

my 1st time using a sewing machine (the wife's)

I disassembled my sky tie, took the magnets and elastic and an extra scrap of left over tie dye from my rig to build a new one.

Machine sewing was surprisingly easy to do, and the Brother sewed 6+ layers of cordura easily, but my stitch lines look like shit and it didn't help that I kept starting and stopping, so from about 10-15 feet away it looks ok, but closer up it looks like it was sewed by someone who wasn't sure what they were doing.

(That is a slight exaggeration, it ain't pretty, but it looks like it operates as well as the original; I will see how well it holds up).

It's flare not flair, brakes not breaks, bridle not bridal, "could NOT care less" not "could care less".

I will preface my question by stating that I am not a rigger.

What, if any, does your sewing do to the TSO on that rig?

Nothing, he hasn't done anything to the rig. The skytie is held over the reserve flap by elastic. it's not actually connected.

A better idea would be to cut the elastic and mate the 2 elastic ends with Velcro.
