Divegirl, great write up, i like them a lot, but can you imagine the frustration myself and most others would have if we tried using a sewing machine for the first time. not to mention many of us would have to buy one. A decent idea may be that if some of us really wanted a set, we could cut up the grill cover then take the pieces to the tailor. the guy that hems my paints can probably make bags.

ps divegirl where ya moving to?

Yes, I know allot of you don't sew. That's why I wasn't going to do a write-up but some folks have ask for one. They are either willing to attempt it or are going to have someone else make it for them.

We are headed to Little Rock AFB, Arkansas.

I can't wait either. I am dying to go to the Hot Springs ORV! I haven't had a chance to hit the ORV out here in Hollister. With all the move prep going on and packers coming in two weeks there has been too much to do and no time to go play in my new toy. I need to break it in on the trails.

good luck in little rock! and even though i dont sew i do appreciate the time you took to do the write up (the idea helps alot), not everyone here is capabale of every write up, and if that were the requirement, there would be zero writes on here.

Good thing I was a Parachute Rigger in the Navy. I can sew my ass off. I have 2 sewing machines that I bought at garage sales and fixed. I have been meaning to make a pattern and do this. Thanks divegirl
