Do-It-Yourself Projects In Norwich...

OK, anyone who knows me, knows that I thoroughly enjoy making shit! Whether it is a small keyring, custom bike part or a mess of my kidneys and liver I love it!

Bank holiday weekend has just ended< along with a couple of aborted rides from all sides of the Norwich Camp...

What with no money, and trying to find something to occupy my mind I endeavered to go and make myself a DIY Cotton Racing Cap! Lets get things straight here, "I HAVE NO SEWING MACHINE!". This has got to be the most time consuming project that I have endured in like... EVER! An old pair of ladies trousers, a shirt, a totally destroyed Knog Cap and 10 hours or so later, this is my final result:

What dya think?

Thats a prettty good job, nice one. whats like inside?

A bit tatty looking... This was all done by hand. If I'd have had a sewing machine I would have gone to town on it...

ah still, its is a brillent job. You should borrow a sewing machine and go to town i think.

Ha, nice one. Am really pleased. Good to hear great feedback to. Thanks...

could you maybe post some templates for us less intelligent people who also love making things?

That is mega dope!

That is one red face. Nice hat though.

Haha, blood pressure... Google for patterns. I got my templates from cutting up an old cap! I woll upload some templates and links to information later on...

I did this this weekend too, but with a sewing machine. Couldn't work out how to do the liner, so went to the pub.
Nice work though mate!

I'm impressed. I'm still rocking your keyring, too. Norwich wins at sustainable biking. Won't be long before we're all wearing full PUP gear and riding Tom's frames.

Hahaha yup. Need to get a sewing machine... Anyone got an old one that they no longer...

...Require! Ooooopssss!

I didn't take any notice of the hat, I was awestruck by the model's good looks!!!

Anyone got any old grandad trousers? Anything cotton. Gonna make a load of caps up...

If I can find an old shirt or something will you make me one up? Pint for labour?

You knows it... thing is they take fuckin hours to make... 3 pints (cheeky fucker i know).

Check what I made for Noah (my 3 year old son!)

That's nice, and a pretty cool little graphic too.

Looks good man, I think you should have a go at Making yourself a messenger bag before long, plenty of guides on here for them.

Haahaha, yeah. Am in the process of designing one... You interested in one?

I'm interested in a suit when you get that far. Single-breasted, two button, two vent in a nice dark blue.

Made from Merino? Ride to work. Sweat like a whores cunt! Go straight into meetings dry 15 minutes later!

Yeah I'd have one mate, if you could price it right and make it huuuuuggge!

Lovely image in my head now reading your last post pup.

Hahaah, I really don't know what's the matter with me! Ahahhaa. I got a.design in my head. Will be pretty big too... Also would be up for making a rolltop backpack which will be expandable. Can also get custo graphics screen printed onto the material too! Just gotta source it...

Nice one mate, look forward to seeing some designs.

I've just bought a banjo bro's bag off someone on here but could do with a big messenger for going shopping for food and stuff.
