I enjoy many hobbies, one of which is sewing and quilting using a 1934 hand crank operated Singer 201 sewing machine. My range bag is a zippered sewing machine soft case bought for $5 by my wife Penny for me on clearance at Hancock fabrics. It kinda looks like an old tapestry bag and holds all the black powder stuff or fixed ammo and accessories I need for a trip to the range. Commercial plastic pistol cases are too big to pack, and fleece lined pistol rugs are too bulky. Penny gave me some leftover batting that I quilted between some cheap camo outer fabric (quilt "top") and some heavy canvas for inner lining (the "backing"). Instead of stuffing pistols in an old athletic sock I'm making generic sized pistol transport heavy duty "socks" secured closed with velcro. Cost- Free. Time- got plenty. Using cutting patterns I made for the leather holsters I turn out so each one is pretty quick. Learned to sew a bit from Mama before high school graduation when I moved to the coast for my first apprenticeship. Made beer money back then patching jeans for buddies. I was the only one with the skill, and a sewing machine (a 1954 Singer 221 Featherweight I took with me). Never depend on the opposite sex to have a skill all to themselves. Don.
